When you change the baseline creation options,
you modify the template used for determining the product and project
versions in the baseline and the date format used, if the date is
part of the template.
Additionally,
you can specify what character to use to replace illegal characters
in the version. You can opt to always include all subprojects in the
baseline, regardless of the release set for the subprojects.
The following procedure shows how to change the settings
for these options, and preview the changes when you are Creating a baseline.
Procedure
- Start the Options dialog
box by clicking Tools in the main menu and
choosing Options.
- Click the Actions tab,
then click Create Baseline in the left pane.
- Change the version template keywords.
Change, remove, and add version template keywords
by typing directly in the Version Template field.
For example, change version template keywords so that new baselines
have the build number in the name by default.
Add
new keywords by clicking
.
- Change the date format keywords.
Change, remove, and add date format keywords by typing
directly in the Date Format field. You can
add new keywords by clicking
.
- Change the character used to replace illegal
characters in the version.
For example,
if you enter %platform as part of a project
version template, and the build management project has a platform
of SPARC-solaris, the version string displays
as SPARC_solaris.
The
following are illegal characters; do not enter them in this field: /
\ ' " : ? * [ ] @ - # (and the current delimiter
in use). To find out what the version delimiter is, see the version command (also available
for Oracle and Informix®).To
find out how to change the version delimiter, see the delimiter
command.
- Set the Always include all subprojects
regardless of release option so that the Create
Baseline dialog box includes all subprojects, regardless
of the release set, for any new baseline created.
If you set this option, then all projects for a project
hierarchy, regardless of the release value, are available. If you
do not set this option, all prep subprojects and
static subprojects with a component that matches that of the top-level
project are used.
This option is cleared by
default.
- To return to the default settings after
making changes, click Use Defaults.
- Click Apply or OK to
save the changes.
