You create state transitions when defining the state model of a
schema. To create a state transition, you define an action of the type CHANGE_STATE
and then select the source states and a destination state for that action.
To create a state transition:
- Start the Designer.
- In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer view, expand the Record
Types or Record Types - Stateless folder
in your schema and then double-click on a record type. The
record type editor opens.
- Click the Actions tab to view the Record
Actions grid.
- Create a new action, selecting CHANGE_STATE as
its type.
To use an existing action, right-click
an existing action of the type CHANGE_STATE and select Action
Properties.
- In the States section of the
action properties page, select one or more source states and a destination
state for the action. Each CHANGE_STATE action must have at least
one source state and a destination state. If none are defined, the Designer
reports an error during validation.
- After creating the state transition, display the
State Transition Matrix to verify that the transitions were applied to the
states. For more information, see To
display the State Transition Matrix for a Defect record type.
