Create baselines on a regular basis to ensure that project
team members stay in sync with each other's work.
About this task
A new baseline includes the work project team members have
delivered to the integration stream since the last baseline. If your
project uses feature-specific development streams, perform this task
on those streams and on the integration stream. In some environments,
the lead developer working on a feature might assume the role of integrator
for a feature-specific development stream.
Procedure
To create a baseline:
-
Use the ClearTeam
Navigator view or the ClearTeam
Details view to select the stream where you want to
create the baseline.
- Right-click the stream name and then select Make
Baseline. The Make Baseline dialog
opens.
- Enter text to identify the new baseline in the Base
Name field. If a baseline naming template has been set
up for the UCM project, a read-only Template Name field
displays the name of the new baseline, including where the Base
Name text will be in the name. Otherwise, the text that
you enter in the Base Name field will be used
for the baseline name.
Note that if the Base
Name field is not available on the dialog, you cannot
modify the baseline name, and the name specified in the Template
Name field will be used.
- Optionally, enter a description of the new baseline in
the Description field.
- Select a Baseline Type: Incremental or Full.
- Click OK to close the dialog and
create the baseline. Click Cancel to cancel
the operation. Note that if you click Cancel after
clicking OK, the Make Baseline dialog
closes, but the baseline is still created.
