What is a dependent change set in DNG and when is it created?
I wanted to deliver a few change sets from Stream A to Stream B. When I do this, it shows there are some change sets which are dependent on my change set. These dependent change sets also include some change sets from other authors. I dont know how this dependency was created and if i deliver my change sets now, will there be any other impact?
One answer
Hi,
DNG will automatically create change sets and deliver them in a config management enabled project unless you explicitely create the change sets. Cp. documentation. This could likely lead to unwanted dependencies when you make your changes on top of already (silently) delivered changes of others.
Delivery options include custom settings which might help.
I recommend to follow the GC best practices esp. with regard to DNG change sets.
Most importantly:
- create explicit change sets
- link them to work items
If needed enable approval workflow to control flow of changes.
If this is helpful please mark it as accepted.
