Managing Changes in the Repository and Workspace › Remove an Item

Remove an Item

The remove item process lets you logically delete selected items from a view in the CA Harvest SCM repository. When you remove an item from a view, the item is not deleted; the remove item 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 CA Harvest SCM Workbench, but not in the item view.

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

To remove an item

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

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

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

   The item is removed and a D-tagged version is created for the removed item in CA Harvest SCM.
