trouble using web client to delete folders or files


Marshall Schor (1012624) | asked Jul 12 '11, 3:35 p.m.
The help says you can do this. I followed the instructions (

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.team.scm.doc/topics/t_scm_web_delete.html

but when I got to a page which showed folders or files, there was no way to "select" them, and there was no "delete" button. clicking them with the mouse navigated into the folder, or opened the file in a viewer. I was using FireFox.

Any ideas?

Turns out that you can delete etc. from "Streams", but only view "Repository Workspaces". I had selected a repository workspace to delete from, and that is not supported, I think.

That is correct. In the web client, you can modify streams but only
view workspaces (while in the Eclipse client, you can modify workspaces
but only view streams).

Probably obvious, but to avoid confusion, by "in Eclipse client, you can
only view streams", I meant you cannot do things like deleting and
modifying files directly ... in the Eclipse client, you can of course
modify streams by operations such as delivering change sets to them.
