Moving elements under CVS

You can use CVS to move a method or process element in the library. The version control system makes changes to the appropriate files.

Before moving a method element, make sure that the element and any files that depend on it are committed.
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 move.
  3. Right-click the element and select Move.
  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 moving that element.
  5. In the Move window, select the destination for the element. Click OK.
  6. If you move the element to a different plug-in, the window in Step 4 opens and prompts you to send a notification to the CVS server. Click Yes.
  7. Click File > Save.
  8. Switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective. team synchronizing perspective button
  9. Make sure that the element that you moved in Step 5 is listed with the other dependent files.
  10. Select the top-level folder for your project and click Commit.
