Change Package State Details
Accepted An intermediate state denoting that the change
package is accepted by all of the reviewers.
Source Integrity automates the state change from
Accepted to Closed if the changes are successfully
committed to the repository.
CommitFailed The state signifying that the pending changes could
not be committed to the repository.
Rejected The state denoting that the change package is
rejected by a reviewer. The creator must manually
move the change package to Open to continue
development.
Discarded Empty change packages or change packages with
changes that do not need to be committed to the
repository are moved by the creator to the
Discarded state. Discarded change packages can
be opened at a later date if needed.
Closed The end state for the change package, when
pending changes are successfully committed to the
repository.
A change package under review progresses through states in a workflow.
For a graphical representation of the workflow, see the diagram “Change
Package State Workflow” on page 244.
The following is the change package progression through the workflow:
1 A change package is created, and in the Open state. Entries are added
to the change package by the developer.
2 The developer submits the change package to begin the change
package review process (see “Submitting Change Packages” on
page 238), and Source Integrity moves the change package to the
Submitted state.
An e-mail is sent to notify the reviewers of the change package
submission (if the server is configured to send e-mail notifications).
The e-mail contains both change package and review information.
3 The reviewer or reviewers, either accept the change package or reject
it. The following can then happen:
If all individual reviewers and at least one reviewer from a
reviewer group (if any exist) accept the change package, it is
moved to the Accepted state. For each vote cast by a reviewer,
Source Integrity sends the reviewers an e-mail notification of the
