Flow target in a stream

What does flow target in a stream signifies? I have a Stream A which has flow target of Stream B. I suppose if I deliver anything on Stream A, it should also get delivered to Stream B (or few selected components ) should get delivered but it doesn't happen this way. Please explain in detail.

A flow target is something that you push changesets to. It can be a stream or a repository workspace.

If you deliver to a stream, it doesn't automatically deliver to a stream that it is connected to. The remedy for your case is to create a repository workspace which has both streams as flow targets. You then accept from stream A into the repository workspace and deliver to stream B. This also makes it possible to verify that your changes actually work.

Effectively, that would mean that making one stream the flow target of another is useless, which makes me doubt my understanding, so apply the usual bit of caution instead of blindly believing me. :wink:

Cheers!

I believe that from RTC 3.0.1 on you are able to push changes directly from a stream to another. This however will only work for non conflicting changes.

It shows intent on where the changes in the stream will eventually flow to. In 3.0.1, it is also used to flow changes stream to stream.

Tim, Could you please brief a bit on how to achieve this. I selected the stream A(having flow target as Stream B) and went on pending changes view,the pending changes view still shows the repository workspace linked with Stream A and doesn't show the stream A to stream B link.

From the FAQ:
Note. You cannot change the flow target of a stream from the Pending Changes view. You must use the stream editor to add flow entries and set the default/current one.


Edit the stream's flow target in the stream editor. When showing a stream in Pending Changes, it only shows the default, current flow target.

You still have to explicitly deliver your changes to both streams. There is no automatic deliver to multiple streams. It needs a user to do this in case there are conflicts.

Stream editor if not mistaken, is right click and open the stream.Editing the flow target in stream editor doesn't show the stream to stream flow. can you link a screen-shot please.

Hi:
There are screenshots at Tracking changes between streams in the Pending Changes view

Thanks for the reply but I couldn't see the option of Pending Changes through right click stream->Show (refering to fig 7). Does it not work on RTC 3. we have RTC 3.o ifix1 server and RTC 3 client.I see 3.0.1 as the basis of this article. Please reply if there are any pr-requisite for this.

It is a feature introduced in 3.0.1.

Does this mean having 3.0.1 would support the stream to stream flow ? If yes, its really a great stuff as project migrating from CC to RTC always prefer to have an integration stream.
