Questions regarding Jazz SCM in a mutli-stream environment
I'm trying to understand how to work with Jazz SCM in a multi-stream environment. I read all the docs and articles, but still cannot understand two things:
1. Why are there "default" and "current" flow targets? As far as I understand it, the current flow target has a well defined semantics - which is the target for all non-scoped components. But what's the semantics of "default"?
2. As I understand it, to move a change between different streams one needs to use his workspace as an intermediary. I.e. after I accept the changes from one stream, I can change the flow target of my workspace towhatever stream I like and deliver the change to it. So what is the semantics of the flows between streams? Do they have any implications other than documenting the stream hierarchy?
Thanks!

1. Why are there "default" and "current" flow targets? As far as I

which is the target for all non-scoped components. But what's the
semantics of "default"?
Default just determines whether you get warned about delivering changes
to your target or not. If you try to deliver to a target that isn't your
default it will warn you about that.
2. As I understand it, to move a change between different streams one
needs to use his workspace as an intermediary. I.e. after I accept the
changes from one stream, I can change the flow target of my workspace to
whatever stream I like and deliver the change to it. So what is the
semantics of the flows between streams? Do they have any implications

It also sets up the default flows you will have if you create a workspace
from the stream.
