Managing Changes in the Repository and Workspace › Remove a Path

Remove a Path

The remove path process lets you logically delete selected paths from a view in the CA Harvest SCM repository. When you remove a path from a view, the path is not deleted; the remove path process creates a version tagged as removed (D). This version has attributes like other versions; you can view this version in the version list of the package in the Harvest SCM Explorer view or in the CA Harvest SCM Workbench, but not in the item view.

Note: A remove path process is required. If the CA Harvest SCM administrator has not defined a remove path process and granted you access to run it, you cannot use Visual Studio to remove a path in the CA Harvest SCM repository. In addition, remove path is not supported for Online mode. For more information about creating processes, see the Administrator Guide.

To remove a path

1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the path that you want to remove, and select Remove from the shortcut menu.

   The status of the project or solution file is updated to a delta symbol, which indicates that a change occurred in the project.

2. Right-click the project or solution file and select CA Harvest SCM, Commit from the shortcut menu.

   The path and its subitems are removed from the IDE. D-tagged versions are created for the removed path and its subitems in CA Harvest SCM.
