Need more clarity on "Ensure Component Names are Unique"

0
Kulvinder Singh (6●2●4) | asked Apr 21 '15, 8:40 a.m.
With the following operation behaviour "Ensure Component Names are Unique" set on the server, I foresee following open points. Please clarify if possible:

1. Can I create the Copy of a Stream? Would not it cause creating a copy of all the components, in that case server will now allow it.

2. If I create a new stream from another stream's snapshot (indirectly a Branch), would not it create a new stream with all new components?

How can we realize then the Parallel development on same product using the Branching feature of SCM.

The scope of "Ensure Component Names are unique" is the process area. You can create many streams and add same component to all the streams. This does not create a new component. Adding a component to a stream simply adds a particular baseline to the stream.

So it means,
creating a new Stream from Snapshot basically create a new branch where all latest existing baselines of the components are present and now we are ready to do the Parallel developments over these two branches?

example:
Stream 1 has Comp 1 and Comp 2. We take a snapshot of Stream where Comp 1 and Comp 2 has Baseline C1 and C2.

Now, from this snapshot, we create a new Stream (or a Branch) called Stream 2. So this new Stream 2 shall have Comp 1 and Comp 2 with Baseline C1 and C2.

Now question is, can we start doing Separate developments over Comp 1 in Stream 1 and Separate Development in Comp 1 in Stream 2. Then later on take Baselines for Comp 1 in Stream 1 and Stream 2. Both would be separate branch, right ?

Yes, that is true. Stream 1 and Stream 2 are isolated from each other. You can still deliver and accept changesets between the two 2 streams if needed, however, in order to do that you will need to set and change flow targets.

You can carry on parallel development in Stream 1 and Stream 2. You can create snapshots and component baselines in both stream. If you ever want to replace a component with a baseline created in the past, ensure that you choose the correct baseline.
