On-Line Help Guide - AccuRev

Name
No two streams in the same AccuRev repository can have the same name, even if they are in
different depots. See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities on page 17.
Basis
The parent stream of the stream you are reconfiguring. Changing this entry reparents the stream
when you click Ok.
In a New Stream dialog, this field is not editable, because you selected the parent stream when you
invoked the command.
Stream Type
The type of the stream:
• Dynamic stream
• Snapshot
Note: Selecting Snapshot is equivalent to invoking the command New Snapshot instead of New
Stream.
• Pass-through stream
In a Change Stream dialog, this field is not editable. You cannot change the type of an existing
stream.
Date & Time
By default, a stream inherits the versions currently in its parent stream . If you assign a basis time
to a stream, it inherits the versions that were in the parent stream at a specified point in time.
None
(disabled for New Snapshot or if you select Snapshot as the stream type) No basis time; in the
future, the stream will inherit the versions currently in its parent stream .
Now
The stream or snapshot will contain the versions that were in its parent stream at the time you
clicked Ok in this dialog.
As of transaction #
Enter an integer transaction number. The stream or snapshot will contain the versions that were in
its parent stream at the time the specified transaction was created.
Specified
Enter a specific time. The stream or snapshot will contain the versions that were in its parent
stream at the specified time.
You can fill in the individual subfields manually, or use the Select Date button to display
choices ("2 days ago", etc.) that fill in the subfields automatically. Once these subfields are filled
in, you can revise them individually or by clicking the Select Date button again.
Note:
1. Dynamic stream with basis time vs. Snapshot
