About Realized Changes

Change that have been completed in the process of applying the CA are listed in the Realized Changes tab of the CA Summary View.

Not all proposed changes become realized changes. Conversely, not all realized changes were previously proposed. Some proposed changes in the Draft state, such as new or revise objects become realized changes before the CA moves to the Approved State. All proposed and realized changes must be in the Frozen state before the CA can be moved to In Approval state.

Objects in the Realized view of a change action show the implementation done under that particular change action. For traceability, you cannot delete or remove objects in Realized Changes. If you modify an object by mistake while working under a change action or add an object to a change action in the Proposed state and moves it to the In Work state, you can use the following options to undo the actions.

Start a work under session with a change action and undo the changes. For example:

  • If you created an object by mistake, you can delete the object using work under.
  • If you added an instance under a parent by mistake, you can remove the instance using work under.

Transfer the realized changes. You can do the following.

  1. Transfer the realized change to a new change action with reason Delayed Completion.
  2. Cancel the new change action.

If you don’t plan to use the objects with another change action, remove Change Required from object’s properties.

If you add or remove a document as a specification when working under a change action, it is not tracked under the change action and is not shown in the Realized Changes tab.

If a change action belongs to a change action group, you can opt to view the realized changes from this change action or all change actions from the group. If you perform any actions to an object while working under a change action from a group, you can also work under other change actions from the group to perform other actions.

For example, if CA1 and CA2 are part of a group, and you create product P1 using CA1, the action is shown in the realized changes of CA1. If you use CA2 to delete P1, the create action is removed from the realized changes of CA1 and no realized changes are shown for the delete action under CA2.

If you use CA1 to create an instance i1 under the product P1, the action is shown in the realized changes of CA1. Then, if you use CA2 to replace i1 with i2, the realized change from CA1 is removed and a realized change for adding i2 is added to CA2.
