DOORS NG: Deliver Change Set to a different Stream

 In DOORS NG rev 6.0.6, is it possible to deliver a change set to a different stream to the one that the change set was created from?


In our case we have two stream (Stream A and Stream B) where Stream B was created from Stream A some time ago.

The change set was supposed to have been created from Stream B.  However, the user incorrectly created it from Stream A.

The user has now done significant work in the Change Set.  The work consists of creating you artifacts within a module.

Is it possible to get those changes into Stream B without them appearing in Stream A?

If not, can you suggest the best way forward (e.g. deliver to Steam A, deliver changes from Stream A to Stream B, remove from Stream A, mark new change set as to not be delivered to Stream B)

Documentation topic related to delivering change set to a different stream:

 Unfortunately that documentation does not address my question.


It explains how to deliver a Change Set from one stream to another stream.

My question is about how to deliver a Change Set created against one stream to a different stream without first delivering it to the stream that it was created against.

Hi Richard, 


Here's what should take place:

1. Create a baseline of Stream A. 
2. Deliver changeset to Stream A. 
3. Create a baseline of Stream B. 
4. Deliver changes from A to B. 
5. Deliver changes from Baseline B to Stream B. 
6. Deliver changes from Baseline A to Stream A. 
    - De-conflict the changes you don't want (i.e. don't deliver those changes)

Dependent on your types of changes, even this may not work. Not sure how flexible "undelivering" is. 

Maybe one of the talented IBM engineers can respond to this. In their absence, hopefully my response could be helpful.

 Thanks for the response.


If I do this, will I have a problem the next time I deliver other changes from Stream A to Stream B where it removes the these specific changes from Stream B as well, unless I explicitly don;t deliver the changes.

Or does Step 3 and 5 of creating a Baseline B and delivering to Stream B prevent this.
