You can use CVS to track changes that happen to the content and relationships of method and process elements. CVS allows you to track who changed what, when, and why.
These steps apply to elements such as roles, tasks, work products,
guidance, categories, configurations, capability patterns, and delivery processes.
- Make sure you are using the Authoring perspective.
- Use the tree browser to choose the element you want to edit.
- Double-click the element to open it in the editor window.
- 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 will appear with the option to continue or not. To avoid having to merge the files later, click No and stop editing that element.
- In the Editor window, edit the element content. An asterisk (*) will appear next to the element's name at the top of the editor window while it is being edited. This indicates that the version cached in memory is out-of-synch with the local file system.
- Click File > Save. The copy in the local file system is updated and the asterisk (*) disappears.
- Switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective.
- Ensure that the element you edited in Step 5 is listed along with other dependent files.
- Select the top-level folder for your project and click Commit.
