How to merge change sets to get one change set

Hi everybody,

Recently we migrated artifacts from ClearCase to RTC. Our RTC workflow is as follow:

1. Developer creates change set and links it to a work item
2. Then he delivers change set to dev stream to test his work which depends on other developers' changes
3. When an error is found, a defect is created within the last work item to track the change, but only the files with errors are modified and linked to the defect
4. When the problem is solved after some defects then the work item status is set to solved

My question is how to merge both change sets to deliver just one change set with the lasts versions because is difficult to check every defect to get the final versions that have to be delivered to prod stream

Thanks,

Alex

I'm a little confused by what you mean when you "create a defect within a work item". It sounds like you want to view multiple change sets associated with a work item at the same time. You can select all of them and open in Change Explorer to see the aggregate set of changes.

There is no need for you to merge the change sets ... just select the change sets you want to deliver, and RTC will automatically compute the last version and make sure that is the one that appears in the stream.
