Checking in schemas

After you edit and test a schema, you must check it in to the schema repository. When you check in a schema, the new version is saved in the schema repository.

Checking in a schema does not affect existing user databases. To put your changes into effect, you must apply the new version of the schema to the user databases by upgrading the user database.

To check in a schema:

  1. Start the Designer.
  2. In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer, right-click the schema version you want to check in and click Check In. The Designer validates the schema, and errors are displayed in the Console view.
  3. Review the validation results and correct any errors. You cannot check in a schema that contains validation errors.
  4. If the schema is valid, you will see the Check In window that contains your original checkout comments. Edit the comments (optional), and then click OK.
A history of each schema version is saved, so you can view a previous version and use it in a new database.
