Before reassigning activities

You can assign an activity on your to-do list to another project team member by changing the activity owner, unless your project manager has enabled the UCM policy Check Before Work On, which prevents you from assigning your work to someone else.

If the Rational® ClearQuest® activity is linked with a corresponding activity in your stream (which occurs when you set your view to the activity), you can change the owner in the Rational ClearQuest user database. But you cannot move the UCM activity to the development stream of the new owner. The UCM Stream field in the ClearQuest Query results pane indicates whether an activity is linked with a stream.

To reassign an activity that is linked with a stream, change the owner of the activity in the Rational ClearQuest user database, and then perform one of the following actions:

• If you have not created versions for the activity (that is, the activity change set is empty), remove the activity in your development stream. When the new activity owner sets his view to the activity, a new activity is created in the stream of the new owner. The activity Change Set list, which is available from the ClearQuest Record form pane or from an activity properties sheet, displays its change set.
• If the activity change set is not empty, the new owner can create and work in a view attached to the stream that contains the activity.
