Jazz source control New check-in advisors are available

Rational Team Concert has new source-control preconditions that you can use to customize processes for your team. For details about setting preconditions, see Setting preconditions and follow-up actions.

The following new server-side preconditions are available for source control check-in operations, and you can set them in either the Eclipse client or web client:

Restrict File Size: This precondition prevents users from checking in files that exceed a specified size limit.

Restrict Check-in of Resources with the Same Name: This precondition prevents users from checking in a resource if another resource in the same location has the same name, even when the capitalization differs. Because Windows systems ignore capitalization and Linux systems do not, this precondition can help avoid conflicts in projects where developers use both platforms.

Restrict Check-in Based on Specified MIME Types and Encodings: This precondition prevents users from checking in files if the MIME type or encoding are not permitted for the project area. Currently, you can only set this precondition by using the Eclipse client.

An extension point for check-in operations is also available so that you can write your own preconditions.
Show the operation history for a stream or workspace

You can now view the operation history for a stream or workspace.

In the Rational Team Concert client for Eclipse IDE and the Rational Team Concert client for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE, select a stream or workspace and then click Show > Operation History. The History view shows the list of operations performed in the selected stream or workspace.

In the History view, you can expand each operation to show details of that operation.

In the Eclipse client, you can open operations in the Change Explorer and Change Summary views. You can create a repository workspace from a previous point in time by selecting an operation and right-clicking Create repository workspace.

The web client now contains an Operation History tab, which is visible when you browse streams and workspaces.
