Associating Development Change Requests with Release Packages 

When creating a release package, you can associate that release package with development change requests, which represent delivered changes from the development process and are typically represented as tickets from development management systems.

Serena Release Control identifies and lists the development change requests based on the development change request projects that are selected for the release package and any filters on request status that are defined in configuration files. For example, for Serena Release Vault you may see only the requests in IN QA, IN PROGRESS, UNDER WORK, and IN TEST statuses.

Adding Development Change Requests to Release Packages

You can add a development change request only if there is a transition available based on the state of the release package. In the default workflow, the only state where a development change request can be added to the release package is when the release package is in Development.

To associate development change requests with a release package:

  1. View a release package and select the Development Change Requests tab.

  2. Click Add development change requests.

  3. Select a development change request to add to the release package.

  4. Click OK.

Removing Development Change Requests from Release Packages

You can remove a development change request only if there is a transition available based on the state of the release package. In the default workflow, the only state where a development change request can be removed from the release package is when the release package is in Development.

To remove development change requests from a release package:

  1. View a release package and select the Development Change Requests tab.

  2. Select one or more development change requests.

  3. Click Remove development change requests.

  4. Click OK.
