Baseline management GUID based?

[Paolo F Cantoni]

I just wanted to get confirmation that Baseline Management is GUID based.  That is, if you attempt to import a file as a baseline for the current model the root package's GUID must match that of the model you are importing into.

As a consequence, it is NOT possible to compare one model branch against another (conceptually identical) model branch.

Can anyone confirm this?

TIA,
Paolo

Yes, it is guid based.

This means that the comparison will work no matter what changes are made to any element, at the expense as you say that it can't be used to compare 'similar' packages that were created independently.

How about this?

Create a new model.
Export/import package A without Guids
Create a baseline
Export/Import package B over the top of A
Baseline & compare


Havent tried it - but it doesn sound promising eoither
