Checkpoints and baselines
View profiles capture stable configurations of a project with checkpoints, a set of labeled versions. UCM uses baselines, which capture a set of versions per component.
The following table summarizes the key
differences between view profiles and UCM features.
| View profile construct | UCM counterpart |
|---|---|
| View profile | Project and integration stream |
| Integration branch | Integration stream |
| Private branch | Development stream |
| Set up private branch | Create a development stream/join project |
| Finish private branch | Deliver work to integration stream |
| Branch is closed when work is completed and merged to integration branch. | Development stream is not closed after a deliver operation. |
| No automated support for updating private branch with work from other developers. | Rebase operation adds changes from the integration stream to private work area. |
| Views are configured with information from profiles. | Views are configured with information from streams. |
