Committing Artifacts for Approval
After you complete the additions, changes, or deletions to a project you checked out of RMS, commit the artifacts for approval. You can make a commit request for a selection of artifacts or all artifacts of a project.
Copies of submitted artifacts are saved in cache with the names of the users who submitted them, version numbers, and the status Committed. A task is created for the Approver role to review the check-in requests.
A Revision ID is assigned to each commit request. This ID is used in other dialogs to allow you to view the details about the request.
If the project is checked out from the SCS repository, then, similar to the file mode, the committed artifacts are saved in the local cache, till the approval. After the approval, the committed artifacts from the cache are saved to the local repository, identified by the value of the ws.scs.repo.dir property in RMS.cdd, and checked in to the SVN repository as well. The comments entered for commit are used as check-in comments for the SVN repository, after approval.
