Removing Scratch Records from a Package

ChangeMan ZMF supports a versioned delete (or scratch) operation on baselined components. Control records containing instructions for this Scratch operation are stored in a change package for scheduled execution, and are applied to the appropriate baseline object(s) when the package is baselined. (For more information about the Scratch function, see Scratching a Component under Change Control.

The Remove Scratch function removes these control records before the versioned delete is executed. In effect, it cancels one or more previously requested Scratch operations.

Remove Scratch Records Step-by-Step

To remove scratch control records from a change package, perform the following steps.

  1. In the Serena Explorer navigation view, right-click on the package to bring up its contextual menu and select the Scratch/Rename Component option. A new tab displays a list of components with scratch or rename records in the package. Right click on the Scratch Request and select Delete to remove the scratch request from the package. It should also disappear from the list on the tab.

  2. Repeat the process to verify that the scratch request has been removed from the package, i.e.right-click on the package again to bring up its contextual menu and select the Scratch/Rename Component option. The tab will display a list of components with scratch or rename records in the package, and the one you deleted will be removed from that list.
