Committing Artifacts
Every update to the project needs to be committed to the RMS. These commits then follow the approval process before being applied to the project in RMS.
Copies of submitted artifacts are saved in cache, with the names of the users who submitted them, version numbers, and the status
Commited
. A task is created for the Approver role to review the check-in requests.
A Request ID is assigned to each commit request. This ID is used in other dialogs to allow you to view details on the request.
You can view the entire audit record of previous status changes for a check-in. This is especially useful for multi-stage approval process so that different reviewers actually share views on why a particular check-in was approved or rejected.
- Procedure
- Select a
Project, and do one of the following:
From the RMS menu, select Commit.Right-click the project, and select.
The Commit dialog lists the newly added, modified, and deleted (red) resources. If the project has no changes to commit, the OK button is disabled.

- Select the artifacts, such as rules, rule functions, decision tables, or domains you want to commit.
Optionally, you can select all the artifacts by checking Select / deselect all.

Similar to any repository, a record of each committed item is displayed with a check-in ID.
