How much space dose component baselines use?
My customer is asking how much space dose the component baseline use?
I mean when users create a baseline, how RTC create a baseline regarding to existing components. I knowbaseline is a repository object that records the state of a component at a specific time.
Since the base line is a snap shot of components, so it should not use too much space but it still need to hold baseline data to somewhere, right.
If anyone have an answer for this, please let me know.
Thank you, in advance!

Hi,
as far as I have been told it is a cheap operation. it only takes as much space as is required to identify the elements as far as I know. The baselines do not contain the changes, they just refer to the change in the stream.

Thank you, Ralph.
This is helpful for my customer's concern.
The Baseline object will store the following items:
- name (String)
- owner (UUID)
- history (UUID)
- comment (String)
- id (int)
- creator (UUID)
- creationDate (Timestamp)
- normalizedName (String)
- properties (Strings: key=value)
UUID's are 23 characters. I'm not sure what the upper bounds on the strings would be.
