Automating export of a new baseline of a package

[Luc De Graef]

Hello,
I am able to create a new baseline for a package by means of the API.

        repository.GetProjectInterface().CreateBaseline(childPackage.GetPackageGUID(), aVersion, aNote);

Is there an API foreseen to export that specific baseline?

Regards
Luc

I don't think there's something to export that baseline, but if you would export the package to xmi, wouldn't that have the same endresult?

If not, there have been a couple of posts lately about exporting/importing baselines. It includes getting the blob from t_document, base64 decoding, and then unzipping it.

Hello,
When exporting an XMI directly, and from a baseline, the 2 XMI files differ  in size (14.136 KB against 28.272KB) but this is probably some single/double byte difference.
Upon comparing however, there are some 50 differences, most of them a couple of bytes are differing inside some 'binary' clause.

I can indeed use SQL to detect the baseline...
"select  BinContent from dbo.t_document where DocType = 'Baseline'and elementId = '" + childPackage.GetPackageGUID() + "'";


I assume you refer to the forum entry: http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1348532739

But it is a pity that one needs to create a JDBC connection to the SQL Server (with Windows Authentication) specifically for that one action.

You can issue the select statement via Repository.SQLQuery(sql). No need for ODBC connections.

Great,
This is what I was hoping for.
Thx to query and Geert.
