Selecting files for a baseline


Eike Meyer (612211) | asked May 11 '10, 12:17 p.m.
Hi,

I am facing the following challenge:
We are working with our documentation files stored on our StandardStream on a component. We want to release only some of them as not all are finished yet.
- How can I create a baseline including only those files we currently have in a releaseable state without including the other ones?
- How can I keep the version traceability of the files while doing this?

You can just delete the files you don't want to release, create a
baseline, and then discard the change-set that deleted those files,
which will restore them to your workspace. No version traceability info
will be lost.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoff, thanks for your answer.

We have quite a lot of unfinished files we would have to delete though. Would it as an alternative also be possible to get the finished files to another stream and do the baselining there? I tried something with changing the current flow target for my workspace and selectively deliver the change sets from my team, but this only seemed possible for my own change sets and not for those that were originally created by others.

You can selectively deliver anyone's change sets to a stream, but you
cannot "split" a change set, so if a change set created two files, one
that you want in the baseline and one that you didn't, you can't use the
selective delivery technique. Also, you cannot deliver "gaps" to the
stream, i.e. you cannot select just the last change set that affected a
file ... you'd have to select all the change sets that affected that
file (increasing the chance that you'll deliver files that you don't
want in the baseline).

Cheers,
Geoff
