RRC: Versioning artifacts
![]()
There's previously been discussion in the forum about about versioning RRC artifacts, but nothing very current. With the introduction of RRC 4.0 I'd hoped the situation would have improved, but that does not seem to be the case - unless there's something I've missed. Here's a couple features I'd really like to see:
* The ability to link to any version of an artifact. I'd really like, for example, to be able to create a collection that includes (links to) specific versions of artifacts. * Snapshots of collections: Will this ever return? I know versioning is being seriously considered by IBM with consideration to the Jazz platform in general. But until such time as a new solution is available, I'd like to reintroduce discussion of how others are dealing with versioning, especially WRT multiple projects sharing artifacts. Thanks, Eric |

Hi Eric,
One way to link to any version of an RRC artifact, is to first open that specific revision in the artifact history, and copy the URL from the browser address bar. You will notice it has a #revision extension. This URL can then be pasted into other RRC artifacts, e-mail, instance messages or even in the description of a work item or test case as a hyperlink.

However we (Ericsson) have two enhancement items created in December 2009 related to this on RM area on jazz.net: https://jazz.net/jazz03/web/projects/Requirements%20Management#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=21291 https://jazz.net/jazz03/web/projects/Requirements%20Management#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=21415 FYI: in the RM Backlog https://jazz.net/jazz03/web/projects/Requirements%20Management#action=com.ibm.team.apt.viewPlan&page=com.ibm.team.apt.web.ui.plannedItems&id=_UA74kKw4EeG4nO8CTXNgNQ&planMode=com.ibm.team.apt.viewmodes.internal.backlog2 you will see the following that might be of interest: [DOORS Next] Requirements versions and configurations utilizing VVC [CLM] [DOORS Next] Artifact Sharing, Potentially Controlled Reuse, Across Modules (VVC) [RM] Data Comparison (Merge) VVC - Versions, Variants and Configurations - is work that is just starting and will evolve in future releases. |

Eric, have you entered an enhancement request? We did have a Jazz Plan Jam recently but it is currently only open for voting on ideas submitted: https://jazz.ideajam.net Try searching to see if someone already submitted the above as an idea and then vote on it.
