Delivering Changes to a Stream

To deliver changes from your work area to a stream

On the My Current Stream tab or Items tab, in the navigation pane, select a stream or folder.
Click Deliver. The Deliver wizard opens.
The Deliver field displays the work area path the changes will be delivered from.
In Include the following types of changes select the type(s) of changes between the repository and the work area that you want to include.
To restrict the deliver operation to only include specific files or folders do the following:

In Include local files enter expressions to restrict which files from the work area will be delivered to the repository.
In Exclude local files enter expressions to identify files in the work area that you want to exclude when delivering to the repository.

For details about using these filters see Using Wildcards to Include and Exclude Files and Folders.

The values you have entered for Include the following types of changes and Filter using wildcards will be saved in Dimensions against your user ID and displayed the next time you use this wizard.

Click Next.
If a list of Additional streams from which to include content is displayed, the work area from which you are delivering has been updated from other streams and/or baselines. Deselect the stream(s) or baseline(s) whose files you do not want to deliver to the parent stream and click Next.

IMPORTANT! If there are conflicts between the work area and the stream you cannot continue with the deliver operation. To perform an update from the stream and resolve the conflicts click the link in the dialog box. The Update from Stream wizard opens, for details see Updating a Work Area from a Stream. After you have resolved the conflicts and updated your work area, try delivering again.

To deselect all changes, select Deselect all changes on all pages (only applicable if there is more than one page).
To select all changes, select Select all changes on all pages (only applicable if there is more than one page).

Click Next to view a summary and then Finish to complete the operation.
To see details of the results click Details.
Click Close to exit the wizard or Back to return to the first page.

Using Wildcards to Include and Exclude Files and Folders

You can use wildcard expressions to specify files to be excluded and/or included when you run the update, deliver and merge operations. For example, if your stream contains a compiled project, and the compiled sources and executables are in a folder called "debug", use the filter "*\debug" to exclude the folder from all deliveries.

You can use the following characters in expressions:

"*" matches a complete folder tree, or a file anywhere in the folder tree.
"?" matches any single character.
"|" joins or concatenates multiple expressions.

Examples of exclusion filters:

build/bar.obj|build/bar.exe

Explicitly excludes the files bar.obj and bar.exe in the folder build.

obj/*

Excludes all files and subfolders recursively beneath the folder obj

*.obj|*.exe

Excludes all files with the extension .obj and .exe

build/*.obj|build/*.exe

Excludes files with the extension .obj and .exe in the folder build (and its subfolders).

build/logs

Excludes the folder build/logs.
