Managing Software Revisions

Although not part of the normal procedure, you might otherwise need to save, close,

cancel, or delete a new software revision, or delete a past software revision.

Saving a New Software Revision

If you leave the Planner Interface before building and applying the new revision, you

must save any changes you make to the new revision. If you build and apply the new

revision immediately, you do not need to save changes. Submitting a Build/Apply

request automatically saves changes.

To save the changes you make to the new revision, click Save or select File>Save

Revision.

The save operation can take several minutes, depending on the number of changed

products.

Closing a New Software Revision Window

To close a new software revision window:

1. Select File>Close revision. DSM/SCM displays a dialog box asking if you want to

save any changes.

2. To save changes before closing the revision, click Save.

The save operation can take several minutes, depending on the number of changed

products.

Canceling a New Software Revision

For the currently open new software revision, you can cancel all changes made since

the last time it was saved.

When you cancel a new revision, DSM/SCM closes the New Software Revision

window and leaves the new software revision unchanged. All record of changes you

made since the revision was last saved until you canceled is lost and cannot be

recovered.

To cancel a new softwa

re revision:

1. In the New Software Revision window, click Cancel revision.

DSM/SCM displays a dialog box warning that unsaved changes will be discarded.

Click one of these buttons:
