How are baselines stored in XML format?

[Bart Oosthoek]

I am currently charged with the duty to set up a model that can be set-up based on different versions of packages. Currently these packages are allocated as tags within SVN.

Due to the fact that our team consist of more then 10 people we would like to use EA in combination with a MySQL database and SVN and currently I am investigating the possibilities of the baseline functionality from EA. My questions are:

How are the base lines stored in the XML files?

• Is this baseline stored in the XML corresponding to the package?
• Is a baseline a separate XML?
• Can a baseline be locked by version control, currently if a package is checked in (locked) I can still add or (even worse) remove baselines
• Can I make a set of baselines?
• Does a package have metadata to display which baseline is currently loaded?

 

Thank you in advance.

Do me a favor and search this form for "baseline".

Also read the short Sparx paper titled "Version Control Best Practises for Enterprise Architect"

A version control system like SVN is used instead of the baseline mechanism.
