StarTeam UI oddities: creating a new public filter depending on a public query
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/08/03
Reminder to self.
Creating a new public filter depending on a new public query in StarTeam always bits me.
The reason is this subtle set of StarTeam rules for queries and filters:
- “Filters” can make use of “Queries”
- Filters and queries can both be “private” and “public”
- A “public filter” can not depend on a “private query”
- When working with “Filters” you have a “public” checkbox
- When working with “Queries” they always become “private”
you need to copy them to make them “public” - public and private queries can have the same name
In order to make a private filter depending on a private query, you can follow these easy steps:
- Start the “filters” dialog (From the menu, choose “file”, then “filters”)
- Create a new filter
- Create a new query
- Have the filter depend on the query
In order to make a public filter depending on a public query, you have to add an additional step between 3 and 4:
- copy the query to a public query
tip: make sure your public and private queries have different names, as it becomes tough to distinguish them
