SCM - Check if a Stream or Component name is unique

Current situation: If a new stream or component in SCM will be created SCM does not check if the same stream or component name already exists in the PA. This could lead to confusion for the SCM users.

Required situation/Proposal:  It is requested that SCM checks the name for existing stream or component names and prompts to enter a unique name (or gives at least a warning for the creator of the stream or component).

Remark: Due to M. Stadlbauer there is at least an option to activate a check of component names.

 

The response from IBM side for unique stream names:
Ultimately this would seem to be a question for product management at the ELM level.
It would have to be an RFE from the ELM level product management to require all streams everywhere to conform

The attached picture shows how the check "Ensure Component Names are Unique" can be activated in the PA configuration. This check blocks the creation of new component if component(s) with the same name are already available in the PA.

    The EWM Ideas review board has evaluated this request and decided to keep it on the Backlog as an uncommitted candidate for a future release. This request aligns with our plans but is unlikely to be addressed in the next 12-18 months due to other higher priority items on the Backlog.
