Viewing Changes in a Change Package

This procedure presumes you have already saved and committed one or more change packages, which 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 the changes made in a change package session in the Change Perspective, do the following:

  1. In the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client, open the target view of the change package.

    Note: Unless you have a view opened, there is no way to view the Change Perspective.

  2. On the right side of the toolbar, click the Show Change Perspective icon to switch to the Change Perspective.
  3. Select the change package
  4. Click the Show Change Viewer icon in the “side by side” layout, or click the Change tab in the “to over bottom” layout.

This displays the details of every change made in the change package, including among other things, each item type changed, the change type used, and the action used to resolve the conflict or difference.

Alternatively, you can open the change package as a Select the change package session, but it will be in Read-Only mode since the changes have already been committed.

Note: You can also view the changes in a new (uncommitted session), but you must open a new change package as a Select the change package session to see the proposed changes and resolutions.
