Creating a View Compare/Merge Change Package

To create a View Compare/Merge change package, do the following:

  1. Open one of the two project views you want to compare in the StarTeam client.
  2. Follow the steps in Comparing and Merging Views in VCM
  3. Commit your change package session.
  4. Save your change package session.

Note: If you use one of the VCM menu VCM Session menu items VCM Session, or Export after committing the session, StarTeam creates a uniquely named change package object in the target view for the change session which contains all the changes made in that View Compare/Merge change session. It then becomes available in the Change Perspective, where it can later be opened in read-only view, reviewed, have the properties modified, or have the change session Replayed which reuses the change package to apply the same set of changes to another view. Once a change package is committed, no more changes can be made to it. You can also use VCM Session > Save\
