Location baseline
« on: August 17, 2009, 07:08:15 pm »
Hi,

I 've made a baseline for a current project (using version 7.1). EA puts the file automatically somewhere on the local disk, which is of course not a very safe location. I can't find a setting to change the path. Does anybody know how I can manage to put the xml (baseline) file on another location (except form using the windows explorer)?

Thanks in advance!
Bart

According to this reply: http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1244032203/1#1
The baseline is stored in the database, and not in an xml file.

To add some details to Geert's valid response: Each time you create a new baseline EA creates an XMI export with fix parameters as a temporary file on the local storage. This local file is then stored in the database (be it EAP or SQL). There is no guarantee that this file is available afterwards.
You can still export the baseline to a XMI file manually or the automation interface. So if you have a need it might be an option to use the automation interface and script a two-steps process:
1. Create the baseline
2. Export it

Hope that helps.
