Deleting an element under CVS

You can use CVS to ensure that when you delete a method or process element, the dependent files are appropriately version-controlled.

These steps apply to elements such as roles, tasks, work products, guidance, categories, configurations, capability patterns, and delivery processes.
  1. Open the Authoring perspective. authoring perspective button
  2. Use the tree browser to choose the element you want to delete.
  3. Right-click the element and select Delete from the submenu.
  4. In the Send an Edit Notification to CVS dialog box, click Yes to lock the needed files. If a file is currently being edited by another user a dialog box appears with the option to continue or not. To avoid having to merge the files later, click No and stop deleting that element.
  5. Click File > Save.
  6. Switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective. team synchronizing perspective button
  7. Make sure the element you deleted in Step 4 is listed along with other dependent files.
