UCM baseline name gets unexpected 4 digit extension

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains a behavior in IBM Rational ClearCase where a UCM baseline does not get the exact name that is specified by the user.

Symptom

When you make a new baseline in a stream that has foundations in multiple components, there can be naming conflicts.

ClearCase must generate a unique name for each baseline that is created, and will resolve any conflicts by generating and appending a four digit extension to the baseline name.

Note: ClearCase will make a best effort to reserve a basename for the top level baseline in a composite baseline hierarchy.

In some cases, it has been seen that the simple basename does not actually get used, but all baselines created get a four digit suffix.
