Creating Baselines

This topic details the basics of creating new Baselines of model Packages. You can create Baselines in the model (using the 'Baselines' dialog) or in a Reusable Asset Service Registry (using the 'Reusable Asset Service - Baseline' view). The appropriate screen displays by default according to whether the 'Store Package Baselines in a Reusable Asset Service Registry' checkbox is selected on the 'Baselines' page of the 'Manage Model Options' dialog.

Access

Select a Package in the Browser window, then open the appropriate screen for the storage system using one of the methods outlined here.

Include sub-Packages

If you deselect the checkbox, only the immediate contents (XMI stubs) of the Package are included in the Baseline.

The field is a single-line entry, for display on the 'Package Baselines' dialog (a one-line-per-entry list).
