how to open baseline in specific existing view

Dear Forum-mates,

there is a module, it was baselined and it has many views.
I want to open the baselined version of the module in a specific view and NOT in default(for module/user).

My thoughts were (indeed it opens the proper baseline but in the module-default view):

Module   m = read("/level1/level2/my_module", false)
Baseline b = baseline(0,4,"BASELINESET_MY_MODULE")
View     v = view("view to want")
 
if (baselineExists(m,b)){
 
    load(m,v)
    load(m,b,true)
 
//    load(m,b,true)
//    load(m,v)
 
}

The out-commented version isn't right also.
How can I load the view I want to see?

Thank You in advance,
vasgyuszi

Hi vasgyuszi,

your code

Module m = current 
Baseline b = baseline(1,2,null) 
View v = view("viewname") 
 
if (baselineExists(m,b)) { 
    load(m,b, true) 
        load(m,v)
}

first loads the baseline
and next loads the view in the current module
to load the view in the opened baseline
use

Module m = current 
Baseline b = baseline(1,2,null) 
View v = view("92 WEXP Setup") 
 
if (baselineExists(m,b)) { 
    load(m,b, true) 
        load v 
}

this should work.

Hi vasgyuszi,

your code

Module m = current 
Baseline b = baseline(1,2,null) 
View v = view("viewname") 
 
if (baselineExists(m,b)) { 
    load(m,b, true) 
        load(m,v)
}

first loads the baseline
and next loads the view in the current module
to load the view in the opened baseline
use

Module m = current 
Baseline b = baseline(1,2,null) 
View v = view("92 WEXP Setup") 
 
if (baselineExists(m,b)) { 
    load(m,b, true) 
        load v 
}

this should work.

Thank You Karl,

it works!

Let me allow a further question: how would be looking this for three modules?

Because my solution doesn't working in that case:

Module m1 = read("/lev1/lev2/m1", false),
       m2 = read("/lev1/lev2/m2", false),
       m3 = read("/lev1/lev2/m3", false)
 
Baseline b = baseline(0,3,"baseline_suffix")
 
View v = view("desiredView")
 
if (baselineExists(m1,b)&&baselineExists(m2,b)&&baselineExists(m3,b)){
 
    
    m1 = current
    load(m1,b,true)
    load v
 
    m2 = current
    load(m2,b,true)
    load v
 
    m3 = current
    load(m3,b,true)
    load v
 
}

Of course I could repeat your working solution:

Module m = read("/lev1/lev2/m", false)
Baseline b = baseline(0,6,"suffix_name")
View v = view("myView")
if (baselineExists(m,b)){
    load(m,b,true)
    load v
}

three times each after for all affected modules, but it wouldn't be nice.

THX!

The only way I've found looks like:

void doIt (Module m, View v, Baseline b)
    {
        if (baselineExists(m,b)){
            load(m,b,true)
            load v
        }
    }
Module   m
View     v
Baseline b = baseline(0,2,"sfx")
 
m = read("/lev1/lev2/m1", false)
v = view("myView")
doIt(m,v,b)
 
 
m = read("/lev1/lev2/m2", false)
v = view("myView")
doIt(m,v,b)
 
m = read("/lev1/lev2/m3", false)
v = view("myView")
doIt(m,v,b)

Hi vasgyuszi,
your last version looks ok to me, although it may not be the most elegant solution.
I'm not an expert, but I would probably put the modules, views and baselines into skip lists, iterate them in a for loop and call the doIt for each set.

Ach, yeah, the famous skipList, a kind of 'struct' containing various data types.
Not tried yet (I'm also not an expert) but seems to be essential in DXL.

Best regards, and thanks for the qick help!
