If you want to create baselines of several modules at the
same time, you can create a list of the modules called a baseline
set definition. You create the list in the project properties, and
can include modules from anywhere in the database.
Baseline set definitions are stored with either project or folder
properties. When you want to create module baselines, you access the
baseline set definition from the project or folder properties window
and create a baseline set. You can then baseline all the modules in
the set at the same time.
Creating baselines of large numbers of modules in this way has
several advantages:
- Having all the modules listed together in the same place means
that you never forget about one of the modules in the group when it
is time to baseline them.
- Rational® DOORS® checks for locks on the modules before
starting to baseline them.
- The baselines can be labeled so that it is clear that they are
part of the same group.
- Links between modules baselines in a baseline set are handled
differently by Rational DOORS. This improved link handling
means that traceability is maintained between baselines in the same
way as it is between current module versions.
