The Baseline Differences graphic user interface (GUI) lets
you see the results of a comparison of two baselines in a UCM stream and lets
you compare versions in the compared baselines. You can use the File menu
to start a new comparison in the same context as the currently displayed comparison.
The Diff Baselines window (on Linux and the UNIX system) and Compare Baselines
window (on Windows systems) show the results of a comparison in terms of activities,
versions, and for composite baselines, members. The windows have an optional
toolbar and two basic appearances that depend on the option that you chose
for the comparison.
- If you click Compare with Previous Baseline to
start the comparison, you see in the window one details page with tabs.
- If you click Compare with Another Baseline, you
see in the window two details pages, one marked Baseline 1 and
the other marked Baseline 2. Each page has its own
tabs.
The following tabs can access the details pages:
- Members
- Displays the baselines that contribute to the composite baseline. In the
details page are columns marked Component and Baseline.
If neither of the baselines that you are comparing is a composite baseline,
this tab is unavailable.
- Activities
- Lists the activities that are associated with one baseline but not the
other. In the details area are columns marked Name, Headline,
and Owner.
- Versions
- Lists the file and directory versions associated with each activity shown
on the Activities page. In the details page are the
following columns:
- Pathname
The VOB-extended path for the version
of the directory or file.
- Activity Name
The simple name of the UCM activity
that contains the difference version.
- Activity Headline
The descriptive text for the
UCM activity.
- You must be in a view context to display versions. If you are not in a
view context, a window opens for you to specify a view tag.
