Is it possible to deliver code without an attached work item


Daniel Spiess (5693) | asked Dec 02 '09, 5:48 p.m.
One department in our company wants to use Jazz strictly for source control. Is it possible to check in code without attaching a work item? If so, where do I configure this?

Thanks!

Changes to files have to be part of a change set. But change sets do
not have to be associated with a work item. There is nothing to
configure. Jazz supports that by default. The only thing I can think
of that you have to watch out for is the preconditions for delivering a
change set to a stream. Make sure you process doesn't have a
precondition that requires that a change set be associated with a work item.

Right, perhaps you have used a Process Template (like Simple Team
Process) which use by default "Descriptive Change Sets" precondition.

Open your Project Area definition, go to Process Configuration tab,
expand Team Configuration tree node and select Operation Behavior. In
right table, go to Source Control -> Deliver (client) and check which
preconditions has set.

Hope this helps,
