Comments With your clarification, you would have to create a custom extension to the points below. see Extension Points and Operation ID’s for all the ID's.
Hello Ralph, Thanks for the answer.
This is explained in detail in the
Rational Team Concert Extensions Workshop, the workshop creates a participant, but except the extension point it is the same thing the other link above shows an example for an advisor. The advisor can prevent work item save, the participant works after the save. The see Extension Points and Operation ID’s for all the ID's to find the one you want. You have to do the Extensions Workshop. Ideally you also read https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/learning-to-fly-getting-started-with-the-rtc-java-apis/.
This is not trivial and you won't get away without effort.

Also note that "delivered" is not a property of a work item, so there is no standard way in a work item save precondition to decide whether or not a work item has been "delivered". You can enforce an association between the state of the work item and whether or not it has been delivered (e.g. by using the precondition that Ralph mentions above, and then preventing the work item from being transitioned out of that state), and then use that state to mean "has been delivered".

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

If the change set has not been delivered, user can suspend or discard the change set. If the change set has been delivered, user can only revert a change set.
Could you please clarify your requirement and purpose?
Hello, Thanks for the reply
my requirement in detail:
In my system, I noticed one user has deleted work item associated with delivered change set from Eclipse client view.
So I would like to restrict so that no user should allow to delete the change set or associated work item with delivered change set
Note that to avoid confusion, what you are trying to prevent is the deletion of the link between a delivered work item and a change set. The change set itself can never be deleted, and a work item can only be deleted by someone that has been granted that permission. I've edited your question appropriately. If that isn't what you had in mind, please clarify further.
