Viewing Change Package Details, History and Labels

This procedure assumes you have already saved one or more change packages that will be visible in Change Perspective of the target view in which it resides.

Note: Each change package is saved in the target view.

To view details, history, and labels about change package sessions in the Change Perspective, do the following:

  1. In the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client, open the target view of the change package.
  2. On the right side of the toolbar, click the Show Change Perspective icon to switch to the Change Perspective.

  3. Choose one of the views you want to see from the icons at the right in the “side by side” layout, or from the tabs at the bottom of the “top over bottom” layout.

    Details pane

    Displays information specific to the selected change package, such as it's description, by whom it was created, when it was last modified, if it was committed, when it was committed and by whom. It also displays the session type (promote, rebase, or replicate), source and target view, transaction ID, and labels. The Details pane can be customized like the Details pane for other StarTeam items.

    Sample Detail pane templates are installed under the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client root installation folder in the samples\details-templates folder. There is a changepackage.details.html which you can use to modify the fields displayed on the Details pane in the Change Perspective.

    History pane

    Displays all the historical versions of the selected change package, complete with Dot Notation, Name, who modified each revision, and the Description of the revision. As with the History pane for other StarTeam items, there is a context menu for performing standard history actions.

    You can right-click on any of the properties listed and select Show Fields. This enables you to change which fields are displayed, and the order in which they are displayed.
    Label pane This pane in the Replay view works exactly the same as for other StarTeam items. It shows all the branch revisions and their date/time information, and you have the same context menu as with other items to perform the same label functions.
