RTC API to Retrieve appropriate baseline from snapshot and extract files
Hello,
I have a stream that has 4 components (A,B,C,D). What I understand is when I create a snapshot, baselines for all 4 components will be available in the snapshot. I was able to get the API to extract all SNapshots of my stream. But when I select one snapshot, how do I get to the baseline of required component?
What I want to achieve is extract files of the required baseline in the snapshot and copy them to another component.
Any help in this direction will be really appreciated. Thanks!
Accepted answer
When you have a snapshot (IBaselineSet) you will need to fetch the full IBaseline objects (from the handles of IBaselineSet.getBaselines()). From there, you can get the component using IBaseline.getComponent().

Thanks David. I am relatively new to this.
I was able to get the baseline component handle...
List<IBaselineHandle> baselineHandlez = snapshot.getBaselines();
List<IBaseline> baselinez = repoConnection.itemManager().fetchCompleteItems(baselineHandlez, IItemManager.DEFAULT, monitor);
IBaseline b1 = baselinez.get(i);
IComponentHandle c1 = b1.getComponent();
IComponent c1my = (IComponent) repoConnection.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(c1, IItemManager.DEFAULT, monitor);
c1my.getName()
now I need to copy the code in this component baseline to another component...

I have been asked to develop a UI that makes the user select the Stream ---one snapshot within it ---- one or multiple component baselines within it and copy the content in it to the Stream->Component the user selects in the UI.
