You can add method and process elements to CVS so that you can control changes to each element as its content is written and its relationships are defined.
These steps apply to elements such as roles, tasks, work products,
guidance, categories, configurations, capability patterns, and delivery processes.
- Make sure you are in the Authoring perspective.
- Use the tree browser to choose the location for the new element.
- Right-click on the parent element and select New. Choose the appropriate element type.
- In the Send an Edit Notification to CVS dialog box, click Yes to lock plugin.xmi for further editing. If the file is currently being edited by another user a dialog box will appear with the option to continue or not. Click No so you don’t have to merge the files later. Exit the operation
- Enter content for the new element in the editor window. While an element is being edited, an asterisk (*) appears next to the element's name at the top of the editor window. 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.
- Make sure the element created in Step 5 is listed along with plugin.xmi and any other dependent files.
- Select the top-level folder for your project and click Commit.
