How to create a new branch which contains source of another branch - rtc source control

Question

I have a stream which contains multiple components. I want to break this stream into a development and a production stream (a bit like the ClearCase UCM Integration and Development Streams) .

How do I accomplish this ?
(In ClearCase, it was about creating a sub-Stream to an existing Stream)

Something like :

• Rename the current stream to dev-stream.
• Create a new stream prod-stream.
• Create new components to match components in 'dev-stream' and add them to 'prod-stream'

I have a workspace which flows with the stream 'dev-stream'. To copy the code from the 'dev stream' to the 'prod stream', do I need to change my workspace flow target from 'dev-stream' to 'prod-stream' and deliver changes to this new stream?

Answer 1

In RTC, you don't have to create new components. You can rename an existing stream at any time.

Then I would advise to create a snapshot on that existing (and renamed) stream in order to take a picture of all the component.

You can create a new stream and add that snapshot in it: all the components will be added on one operation.
You don't need to copy any file.

You will create a second repo workspace on that second stream and will load it any directory you want in a second local workspace or sandbox.
