Recommend baselines to approve a stable set of components for a
UCM project.
You must connect to a Rational ClearCase server to recommend a baseline.
Recommended baselines are the set of baselines that project team
members use to rebase their development streams. In addition, when developers
join the project, their development work areas are initialized with the recommended
baselines.
To recommend a baseline:
- Select the UCM stream where you want to recommend a baseline. Use
the ClearCase Navigator view or the ClearCase
Details view.
- Right-click the stream name and select Recommend Baseline.
The Recommend Baselines dialog opens. The Baselines
for components in stream table lists all of the components in
the current UCM project along with their currently recommended baselines and
the new baselines to recommend. If there are no baselines in the stream, the
list of baselines is empty.
- You can modify the list of baselines to recommend by doing any
of the following things:
- To update the list of baselines to include only baselines that are
currently at or above a specific promotion level, select a Filter
Promotion Level and then click the Fetch Baselines.
- To add a new baseline to the list, click Add.
Note that if you add a baseline for a component that does not yet exist in
the stream, the currently recommended baseline is not shown.
- To replace a baseline currently on the list with a different baseline,
select the baseline that you want to change and then click Change.
- To remove a baseline from the list, select the baseline you want to
remove and then click Remove. Note that you can only
remove top-level baselines (atomic baselines or the top-most parents in baseline
composites). You cannot remove dependent baselines (children of composites).
- Click OK to confirm your selections and
recommend the baselines. Click Cancel to cancel the
operation.
