Baseline information in generated documentation ?
« on: April 28, 2015, 06:50:47 pm »
I have altered the content of a package during several versions, that I stored as baselines. Now I would like to add this information about the baseline changes (when and who) to the generated documentation report.

Is it possible to add information about the baselines of a package into the documentation when generating the report ?

Yes,

this is possible, if you use template fragements and SQL-Querys for the baseline. "Select * from t_document Where Type = Baseline AND... "

A Video turorial from Scott Hebbard using this feature is available on Youtube.

If you do want to create an document with differences between the Baseline and the current model you can try the following:
- Export the XMI from the Baseline and import it into another model
- Create a report template and copy this to the external model
- Run reports from both models
- Use Word or Libre office to do a document compare between reports to produce a single report with the changes visible.

Sounds a bit complicated.

What I simply need is a history of changes like:
Version 0.1 - 01.01.2015   - UserA   - Changed content ABC
Version 0.2 - 04.01.2015 - UserB  - added diagram C & D
Version 0.3 - 10.01.2015 - User A - accepted changes

It is the information of the baseline history, not the difference between the models.

Check t_document WHERE ElementType="Baseline" (see p. 26 of my Inside book)
