Retrieving from a Release Area
The retrieve area function removes components from area libraries. You must retrieve components from area libraries to:
-
Detach a package from a release.
-
Check-in a new version of the component from a different package.
Running Retrieve
There are two pages in the Retrieve wizard plus a Results page. You can go back and forth between the pages using the Next and Back buttons. The Back button is the back arrow button at the upper left corner of the window. You cannot go back from the Results page.
To start the wizard, right-click on a release, release area, or a release package and choose Retrieve components.
Retrieve Options Page
The Retrieve Options page displays when the wizard starts.
