Viewing the Change Perspective

The StarTeam Cross-Platform Client has two perspectives available in the main window: The standard Content Perspective and the Change Perspective, the latter of which lets you view the details of all the changes made in committed View Compare/Merge sessions, or changes proposed in uncommitted View Compare/Merge change sessions. The Change Perspective also lets you apply the same changes made in one committed session to another project or view (Replay). This is possible because all the changes for a single View Compare/Merge session are recorded in a change package object created by the View Compare/Merge session when it is saved or committed. The Content Perspective also allows you to manage other aspects of a change package as you can with other StarTeam objects.

The StarTeam Cross-Platform Client automatically opens in the Content Perspective.

To switch from the standard Content Perspective to the Change Perspective. do the following:

1. In the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client, click the Show Change Perspective icon at the right of the toolbar.
2. To switch back to the Content Perspective, click the Show Content Perspective icon at the right of the toolbar.
