Dependency of elements under source control


Katrin Heymann (19824363) | asked Jan 18 '11, 7:04 a.m.
Hello,

is it possible to define dependencies for single elements,
e.g. if you check out one element than you will get information that you have to modify another element ?

Regards,
Katrin

That is not currently supported. I've submitted work item 150215 "Allow
a property to be added to a versionable as a whole (not just a
particular state of a versionable)".

But note that WRT your example scenario, there is no checkout operation
in RTC.

Cheers,
Geoff

As Geoff indicated, there is no checkout operation in RTC. We would really need a more indepth description of your use case to understand the relationship between the files involved. As Geoff indicated, it would be possible to capture the relationship using file properties but you would most likely need to write custom tooling to make use of property value. There is also logical model support available in the Eclipse client that provides source control systems like Jazz SCM with information about the relationships between files. If you provided more details of your use case, we may be able to determine what the best path to take would be.
