Why cannot accept incoming from one stream to another from pending changes view when flow target set to Incoming only
I have two streams: Stream-A without any flow targets and Stream-B with flow target set as: Stream-A FlowDirection=Incoming, CurrentFlow=Incoming, DefaultFlow=Incoming.
I delivered change sets to Stream-A.
Then I go to the Pending Change view for the Stream-B and I see my changes as Incoming.
I right click and pick Accept.
I get error: Illegal operation ('accept') for stream 'Stream-B'
I tried clicking and doing accept on individual change set, on component folder and on stream level (per some workaround recommended in one of the jazz defects).
Interestingly, if I edit my Stream-B and change flow target to be Incoming and Outgoing then accept works.
Seems odd to me, but if that's working as designed, it would be interesting to hear what am I doing wrong.
Accepted answer
I'd suggest filing a PMR (if you are under IBM support) or a jazz.net defect if you are not.
Not only is the behavior not what I'd expect, but even if there was some some kind of error detected (say, the stream was locked), you should never get an "Illegal operation" ... you should get some reasonable error message.
