Submitting Change Packages
CLI EQUIVALENT 
si submitcp
You submit a change package in order to commit the associated changes to the repository. When reviews are mandatory, submitting a change package begins a review process that must be completed before the changes are committed to the repository.
You can submit change packages containing any combination of deferred, pending, and committed entries.
To submit a change package in the GUI, select the change package, and select Change Package > Submit.
Key Considerations
If exclusive locking is enabled, you cannot successfully submit a change package that contains a deferred check in if you do not have a lock on the member. You must check out the member before submitting the change package.
Locked change package entries must be converted to deferred check in entries in order for the Submit CP operation to complete. The Check In dialog box displays when a locked entry is encountered. If the Check In operation results in a revision conflict (the revision being checked in is not the member revision) or a lock conflict (another user has an exclusive lock on the member), you can still proceed with the Submit CP operation by selecting the Force Creation of New Branch option.
You cannot successfully submit a change package that contains deferred Rename or deferred Move entries if another user has a lock on the member.
You cannot successfully submit a change package if the revision being updated is frozen.
If a change package is submitted only containing pending entries, you are prompted to commit those pending entries, even if there are no deferred or lock entries.
If Change Package Description templates are enabled and configured, you are prompted to populate Description template content prior to submitting the change package.
