Automatically compare new baselines with the previous one
Hi All,
To automatically compare the baseline against the previous one, which operation should the plugin be based on? I mean is it an Operation participant and if yes, where should we configure it in the operation behaviour?
Thanks.

The client API to call is com.ibm.team.scm.client.IBaselineConnection#compareTo() if you are doing this as part of a delivery operation. The create baseline operation is not in itself, process enabled.

Hi John,
Have been unable to look into this lately.
Is there a way to achieve the baseline compare using Rest API? The Requirement is to have a functionality to auto-generate the comparison results between 2 baselines (readable format). Currently, the users are manually editing the comparison results and creating the deliverable docs.
We have to eb able to download/save the generated results in the local machine.
Thanks.

Can this happen during the creation of a baseline in a stream (or) any other relevant activity? The results of the comparison will provide the required data - that is being done manually by the users for a report

Aug 16 '12, 2:23 a.m.And similarly, also need a report on the list of baselines at stream level - and the corresponding details like creation (or) promotion date, owner name, project name etc...I think currently, this is not possible using insight (or) Birt reporting. So, i am looking at using the Java API for this. Is this possible using the API?
Thanks.

Create basline is process enabled - Is there a way we can create an external functionality so that any 2 baselines can be compared - either using the REST API (or) Java API - it would be more useful if any 2 baselines can be compared.
It can be invoked by the user - passing the baseline info - to be used on adhoc basis.
Thanks.
