Teams usually check in a version to mark a milestone,
for example, a weekly build, a beta release, or a general release.
Procedure
- In the Products page, right-click
over the product you want to capture and choose Check In.
- Enter a version name.
For example, the transmission
for a new car might have a 2014 Baseline version.
The product name that displays in the Browse Products page
is Transmission - 2014 Baseline.
You
can change the product anytime by adding to, removing from, or modifying
the product.
- Make the version non-modifiable by setting Freeze
Product.
Freezing a product version is useful
if you must branch a product or if your product is at a point where
no further development should be undertaken for a milestone.
You
cannot freeze products that are connected to Rational Team Concert™ streams
and component baselines.
You cannot add products or artifacts
to a frozen product unless you perform an unfreeze operation or check
out a branch.
To perform an unfreeze operation, right-click
over the non-modifiable product and choose Unfreeze Product.
Choose whether you want the product to pin the current child products
or replace the current child products with the latest version.
To
check out a branch, see Creating a variation to branch a product.
If
you want to see the child product versions to be replaced, right-click
over the frozen product and choose Show Audit History.
Choose the frozen product and the latest product, and then click the Compare
Versions icon in the upper right to help you decide.
