How the Integration Works
Only issue states specified by your administrator allow open change
packages. When attempting to advance to a state that does not allow
open change packages, Integrity Manager instructs you to first close
the issue’s change package.
Typically, an issue cannot advance to the final state in an
Integrity Manager workflow until all change packages are closed. See
your administrator for more information.
Users can view change package information from both
Integrity Manager and Source Integrity, reducing the need to work in
both applications to use the integration features.
When the Integrity Manager integration is enabled, the change
package ID is a colon-separated identifier of the form:
:
NOTE
When working with shared subprojects, Source Integrity uses the actual name
of the subproject in the file system rather than its relative name in the project
hierarchy. Therefore, the change package entries for a shared subproject use
the actual file system name of the subproject. This enhances the portability of
change packages across different projects.
The following is an example of the recommended way to use change
packages with Integrity Manager to control development:
1 In Integrity Manager, submit an issue that needs to be addressed. For
more information, see the Integrity Manager User Guide.
2 In Source Integrity, open the Manage Change Packages window (see
“Managing Change Packages” on page 220). This is your control
center for managing your grouping of tasks.
3 Create a change package (see “Creating a Change Package” on
page 217) to use for the group of tasks you need to perform to address
an issue. The change package acts as a container, grouping together
the specific members (files) that need to be changed to address the
issue. When creating the change package, associate it with the issue
you created in Integrity Manager.
Source Integrity assigns the change package an ID and leaves the
change package in the Open state.
You can see the change package listed in the Manage Change
Packages window.
