Publishing changes of associating resources with components

After you associate resources in a project with a component in the system model, you must publish the changes made to the branch in the project repository, if you want the associations to be visible to the other members in the project.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Procedure

  1. Log in to Rational® Test Automation Server.
  2. Open the team space to which a team space repository is added.

    The Active projects page is displayed.

  3. Click Active projects > My projects > project_name to open the project that contains the test assets.

    The Overview page of the project is displayed.

  4. Open the Changes page by clicking Author > Changes.
    The Changes page is displayed. You can find the following information about the changes that you made to the system model when you associated resources with components:
    • The Edit branch that you selected to contain the changes is displayed in the Branch field. You can select the Edit branch that you used before associating resources to components, if it is not already displayed as selected.
    • The resources that you associated with components are listed under the Asset name column.
    • The type of change is listed under the Changes column.
    • The name of the member who made the change is displayed under the Last changed by column.
    • The relative time when the change was made is displayed under the Last updated column.
    • The number of changes that the Edit branch is ahead of from the project repository branch is indicated by the commits ahead option. You can view the details by clicking the commits ahead option. You can discard the pending commits by clicking the Reset option.
    • The number of changes that the Edit branch is behind from the project repository branch is indicated by the commits behind option. The Edit branch can be behind the project repository branch if another member has published or committed other changes in the system model to the same project repository branch. You can view the details by clicking the commits behind option. You can merge all the changes to your Edit branch, so that the Edit branch is on par with all the changes made in the project repository branch.
  5. Click the Publish changes option.
    Note: If you do now want to commit the changes you made to the system model, you can select the Discard changes option.
  6. Enter a commit message in the Description of change field, and then click Publish.

Results

You have published the changes that you made in the system model to the repository in the project. Other members of the team space can now view and use the system model.
