Does RTC provide a mechanism for locking a stream?

In RTC 6.0.2 we added a feature that lets you lock streams and components to prevent deliveries to the files in those streams or components. Stream and component locks work in a similar manner to file locks but apply to the entire stream or the entire component in a stream. When a stream or component is locked, any attempted deliveries by users who do not own the lock will fail with an appropriate error message. The user that holds the lock can still perform deliveries to the stream. A lock does not only prevent deliveries, it also prevents any operation that affects the files in the locked component or stream. For example, a component replace is also prevented.

-SCM Command Line Client 'set lock' command: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSCP65_6.0.4/com.ibm.team.scm.doc/topics/set_lock.html

Prior to 6.0.2, you could add a deliver advisor in the process spec to restrict deliveries to particular streams. By protecting your stream by particular roles or users, you can effectively lock the stream down.
"http://jazz.net/library/article/215#protect_some" describes how to protect individual components in a stream, the same approach can be used to lock down the entire stream..

individual file, but was wondering if it's possible to lock an entire
stream from further updates/deliveries?

Thanks for any pointers/suggestions!

You can do this by adding a deliver advisor in the process spec to

Hope this helps,
