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.

When do you want this comparison to happen? What should be done with the results of the comparison?

Hi David,
                  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

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.

 I don't know exactly what your usecase is.  The data is there, and there are ways of making a summary like this work, but I don't know where the comparison would be stored?  Why can't it be a live report using REST API based upon a selected baseline?

Downgraded question.  It is ambiguous and has been open for weeks.   The user is not responding to questions.

Hi John,
               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.

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.

An alternative if you are looking for some automation you can see if the CLI "scm compare baseline <uuid1> baseline <uuid2>" works for you.
