If a project has a composite baseline on an ordinary component, you can
change the project to use a pure composite baseline (see Changing a regular composite
to a pure composite baseline).
Figure 1: Changing a regular composite
to a pure composite baseline
The
project manager can create a component without a VOB root directory for each
component that has a composite baseline and contains elements. For example,
composite baseline LIB.BL1 is for a component that has its own elements.
The project manager drops the dependency references to components C and A
from baseline LIB.BL1. The project manager creates a new component LIB_NR that
does not have a root directory. Then a new composite baseline LIB_NR0 can
be made based on the rootless component. And you can add dependencies on the
baseline LIB.BL1 of the original component and on baselines C.BL3 and A.BL1 of
the other components.
