Steps

1. Open and review the assigned task in your change management tool.

2. Open Rational Design Manager (login if prompted), and open your project.

3. In the “Configurations” menu, set an appropriate configuration for the project by selecting the baseline that the new stream will be branched from (e.g., "AMR.S Mobile US.GA 2013-06-01" baseline as the starting point for the new “AMR.S Mobile UK” variant, or for the new “AMR.S Mobile US 2014” development stream, or for the new “AMR.S Mobile US.FP1” maintenance stream). The starting baseline should be indicated in the task assigned to you.

4. For the steps on how to create a new Work Stream from that Baseline, refer to the Creating Workspaces online help topic. See also the Naming Convention.

5. Once a new Stream is created, it will become the context for design work on your new product variant or version for a given component. It can also become a part of the larger product stream, which can span across all the system components and/or across all lifecycle domains. This larger product stream can then be used to set the context inside all of your engineering tools
