Overview

Baselines (individually tested components from various implementers, and development teams, combined together to work together as a product) are 'tagged' to reflect the level of software maturity, stability and quality they may have achieved. The action of tagging of a baseline and providing appropriate label is called promoting or demoting the baseline

The appropriately tagged baseline version is then available for release or further development in subsequent iterations

Starting state

All steps that follow are performed in the Eclipse-based interface of Rational Team Concert. These instructions are based on the assumption that you are familiar with creating baselines. See creating a component baseline for more information.

Steps

This task covers the following step:

·         Create a component baseline

·         Provide an appropriate label to the baseline

Create a component baseline and provide an appropriate label to the baseline

1.      In Team Artifacts view of the Work Items perspective, expand project area.

2.      Expand My Repository Workspaces and open Workspace which contains Components needed to create a baseline.

3.       The Repository Workspace editor opens on the right side.

4.      Under Components section, Right-click the component for which you want to create a baseline and click New > Baseline.

5.      Within the New Baseline window enter the name of the baseline and a brief description

6.      Click OK to create the baseline.

Results

The new baseline is created with appropriate label
