Use this page to view or change the project setting for the policy for rebase operations. The policy setting that is applied at the project level is enforced for all streams in the project.
The rebase policy set at the project level affects all streams in the project. Possible settings are: enabled, disabled, and per-stream.
The enabled and disabled settings dictate the policy be in effect for all streams in the project, regardless of whatever policy setting is at the stream level.
When the project policy setting is per-stream, you can specify the policy setting for individual streams. For more information about setting policies, see IBM Rational ClearCase Guide to Managing Software Projects.
If you change a project policy to per-stream, the stream policy setting reverts to the most recent value that is supplied through the policies for streams window. This can result in somewhat unexpected behavior.
For example, the project-wide rebase policy setting is set to per-stream and the developer who works on stream A sets the policy to enabled. Later the project manager resets the project-wide policy to disabled. The policy is also disabled for stream A. (This is shown on the stream Policies window.)
Still later the project-wide setting is returned to per-stream. Stream A does not maintain the disabled setting, but reverts to enabled, the last per-stream setting for the stream.
