Chapter 33 Working With Projects in WebStudio : Committing Artifacts for Approval

Committing Artifacts for Approval
After you are done with the additions, changes, or deletions to a project you checked out of RMS, you commit the artifacts for approval. You can make a commit request for a selection of artifacts, or all.
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. (see Chapter 36, Working with the Approval Workflow in RMS).
A Revision ID is assigned to each commit request. This ID is used in other dialogs to allow you to view details on the request.
If the project is checked out from the SVN repository, then similar to the file mode the commited artifacts are saved in the local cache till the approval. After the approval, the commited artifacts from the cache are saved to the local repository, identified by the value of the ws.scs.repo.dir property in RMS.cdd (see Configuring RMS Server Properties), and checked in to the SVN repository as well. The comments entered for commit are used as checkin comments for the SVN repository, after approval.
Viewing the Audit Trail
You can view the entire audit record of previous status changes for a checkin. This is especially useful for multi-stage approval process so that different reviewers actually share views on why a particular checkin was approved or rejected.
