The task describes how to update a stream that represents the new product variant or version to ensure that it contains all new applicable local streams, which contribute sets of relevant engineering artifacts. Furthermore, each of the new local streams contributes correct versions of relevant engineering artifacts to the new overall product variant or version. Therefore, it is critical that the overall product stream is assembled prior to the engineering activities taking place within this new product stream (e.g. ensuring that proper versions of artifacts are being linked, ensuring that engineers work in the same context across multiple engineering disciplines and system components, etc.)

Preconditions:

• At least one local stream created

Postconditions:

• A new product stream assembled and ready for ensuing engineering work

Steps

1. Browse and locate the product stream that you need to re-configure in your product definition or configuration management tool.

a. Review its contributing local configurations.

b. Replace each of the contributing configurations, selecting an appropriate local stream for each engineering discipline or system component to replace a current baseline

c. Review the new set of contributing local configurations before saving the overall configuration
