RTC component baseline and additional change sets
![]()
We had created a component, baseline it and shared it in two different streams.
Thank you.

In a view that displays that component in the stream (such as in Team Artifact Navigator or the Pending Changes view), right click on the component and select the "Compare_With -> Current_Baseline" operation.

Comments Yes, this I tried. But this is not really helpful. Here you are doing an explicit action to find it out.. What we are missing is an indication on the component (in whichever view) that it has new changes after the baseline.. We would like to know the following. After delivering a change set to a component, when you are looking at the stream where this component is configured, it should show an indication that there are new chnage sets, in addition to the baseline number shown there. (may be a special icon, or additional text along with baseline number..) Currently we see no way to do it... ![]() FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER
The Pending Changes view will automatically refresh periodically, so you do not need to perform an explicit action to refresh it.
Hi Geoff,
Thanks Karsten for clarifying... Currently the more I try it is more confusing. As you rightly mentioned, the moment you deliver the changes to the stream, there is no way to identify that the component is changed later on!!! And in all streams the component is showing this baseline number alone. Otherway is, you have to do a baseline for each change set ;) that is way far from our regular way of work. But you have to keep in mind what Geoff mentioned: The repository workspace of the user is the most recent state that you have to work with. Any change set that have been delivered to the stream after the baseline will be shown in your workspace as incoming changes.

I should have been more explicit in my "use Pending Changes" comment. I meant to suggest that you have some workspace into which you only accept full baselines from the stream. In the pending changes view, you will dynamically be able to see all change sets since the last baseline (the change sets that are captured by baselines will be hidden by default under those baselines, unless you open them to take a look).

I can see how the baseline number decoration can be misleading. It reflects the most recent baseline but doesn't indicate that there may be change sets delivered after that baseline. It can lead to confusion if you want to add that baseline to a stream.

I've created work item Decorate the "component in stream" display to indicate when there are change sets since the last baseline (278427) for this feature.
