IBM SC34-4499-03 Creating a work area

Command

From a command line, he issues the following command:

teamc defect -accept 310 -answer program_defect

Result

The defect goes to the working state.

Creating a work area

Because the component is not following a design, size, and review process,Alex needs

to manually create a work area in which to modify and build his parts. (If the component

follows a design, size, and review process, a work area is automatically created when

the defect moves to the working state, provided that sizing records have been accepted

for the defect.)

BeforeAlex checks out any parts, he creates a work area that will contain the latest

view of the parts in the release by doing one of the following:

GUI

From the GUI, he:

1. Selects Work areas →Create from theActions pull-down menu on the Tasks

window.

2. Types310 in the Work areas ﬁeld and robot_control in the Releases ﬁeld and

selects OK..
