Creating a baseline programmatically

Luca Martinucci (1.0k●2●94●112) | asked Jun 09 '11, 6:23 a.m.
Is it possible to programmatically (via Java API or via scm command line) create a component baseline when a delivery is completed?
This function should work this way:
- verify whether each component has changed since the last baseline
- create a baseline on each modified component
Doing this is easy, for example, in ClearCase, but I'm still a newbie in RTC...

Yes. A snapshot in RTC is also essentially a composite baseline (the implementation term is BaselineSet). Baselines will be created for each component, unless they're already at a baseline level.

This is actually configurable in the API, but the UI and SCM CLI always create a new baseline if needed.

The API is on interface com.ibm.team.scm.client.IWorkspaceConnection: 

    public IBaselineSetHandle createBaselineSet(Collection excludedComponents, String name,

    		String comment, boolean createNewBaselines, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException;

Yes, you may use the SCM CLI to create a snapshot on the target workspace/stream (or source workspace). It will create baselines for any components that aren't already at a baseline.


I think snapshot is something like "composite baseline" in ClearCase. Question:

1. In CC, when we create a new baseline in a stream has multiple components, it creates a so called composite baseline in the stream. Underline it will create a new baseline on any component has new changes. Will snapshot do the same?

Thanks
