Deleting elements under CVS

You can use CVS to ensure that when you delete a method or process element, the dependent files are appropriately version-controlled.

These steps apply to elements such as roles, tasks, work products, guidance, categories, configurations, capability patterns, and delivery processes.
  1. Open the Authoring perspective. authoring perspective button
  2. Use the tree browser to choose the element that you want to delete.
  3. Right-click the element and click Delete.
  4. In the Send an Edit Notification to CVS window, click Yes to lock the needed files. If a file is currently being edited by another user, a window opens with the option to continue or not. To avoid needing to merge the files later, click No and stop deleting that element.
  5. Click File > Save.
  6. Switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective. team synchronizing perspective button
  7. Make sure that the element that you deleted in Step 4 is listed with other dependent files.
