How do we Lock a Baseline in RTC components? using GUI (eclips client) plz let me know the steps. and How to check using eclipse client whether the Locking is done or not? |
Accepted answer
Sreedhara thirthahalli,
As Jeff Care already said, baselines are inherently locked because they are immutable. You cannot change the changesets they catalog, you cannot change their baseline ID (integer), and you cannot delete them from a component. The only piece that is not locked by default are the baseline names, and those can be changed in the out-of-the-box templates. You can restrict that in the Project's Team Configuration Permissions -> David Lafreniere selected this answer as the correct answer

See My question was in UCM clearcase we have an option called Locking the Baseline.
the same concept whether it is there or not in RTC?
Once it is Locked means no body can REBASE it also
Note :- After rebasing only I am Locking it and taking the screen shot of that baseline and sending it for CAB meeting. their it will get approved after seeing my Locked screen shot.
customer is asking the same concept here too in RTC?
If the Locking facility is not there as you mentioned you can restrict it could you please explain me detailed about that.
Client intention is once the baseline is created no one should touch and modify it that will be the final one.

In ClearCase, whether or not a baseline is locked has no effect on the "rebase" operation (the rebase operation is affected by a lock on the stream being rebased). The only significant operation that is affected by a lock on a ClearCase baseline is that you cannot promote a baseline if it is locked. But just like RTC baselines, the configuration selected by ClearCase baselines cannot be changed after the baseline is created. I'm not sure what your scenario of taking a screen shot of a locked baseline is designed to achieve. A locked ClearCase baseline can be unlocked, so I do not see what relevance the fact that a baseline was locked at one time could have for a CAB board.

Can you explain what you mean by "locking"? Baselines are immutable.
