Integrity Lifecycle Manager provides a way to remove change packages from active use by discarding them when they are not needed.

Change packages can only be discarded if they are in the Open or Rejected states. To discard a change package, that change package must be both created by you and not contain any committed entries. However, a change package administrator may discard a change package created by another user.

You can remove specific change package entries if required using the discard change package entries command.
When a change package is discarded, the following happens where applicable:
• All uncommitted entries are removed from the change package.
• All deferred operations corresponding to deferred entries are reverted.
• Locks on members corresponding to lock entries are released.
• All pending operations corresponding to pending entries are reverted and appear as discarded entries in the review log (to preserve the review history).
• All pending revisions that correspond to pending entries are deleted.
• Any archives created for pending members associated with pending entries in the change package are deleted from the server (pre-existing archives that were shared to create a pending member are not deleted).
|
Key Considerations
• The change package ID for the discarded change package can never be used for any future change packages that are created.
• Discarded change packages have a state of Discarded and can still be viewed using > and filtering by the Committed or Pending category.
• If the change package has undergone a review, the review log persists.
• You can open and reuse discarded change packages.
