Discussion Forum for StarTeam Users

When a file is shared in StarTeam, the sharing cannot be linked to a particular promotion state of the view from which the file originates; the file always appears in its latest version at the shared location.
This limitation leads me to the following problem. I have, in one view, a utility.
In another view, I have our main product, which includes within it a copy of the
utility. The development of the utility proceeds according to its own development,
testing, and release procedures; however, whenever the main product is released,
I want it to have the most updated *released* version of the utility.
What I want, essentially, is to share the utility executable into the view of the
main product according to the Production promotion state of the utility's view.
Since the utility is in continuous development, I want the main product to include
only the version of the utility which has been promoted, not whatever has been checked
in at the moment.
How can I accomplish this with StarTeam? Obviously, I want to avoid having to manually
check out the utility according to the appropriate production state and copy it
into the main product every time I do a build of the main product!
