Renaming file & check-in to Starteam within same commit?

Question

I have to rename a file. When renaming the file I have to update another file that refers to it, otherwise I will break the build.

The problem is when trying to do this change in Starteam. The file is renamed on the server immediately when I close the Properties dialog. Until I have checked in the other files the build will be broken. The build won't be broken for very long, but still there is the risk that someone does a checkout in between these two operations.

Is there some way in Starteam to get the rename and the check-in done within the same transaction?

I'm using Starteam Client 2008r2.

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is no way to create a transaction, do some work within the GUI, and then commit that transaction. The docs recommend doing the rename within the StarTeam GUI and this must be done by itself so that means that will take place as a single unit of work.

If it was just checking in items, you can do checkin of multiple files at once as a single transaction.
