Viewing the baseline history of components

Edit online

In addition to viewing the history of a component as a list of change sets, you can also view it as a list of baselines.

About this task

Every component includes one or more baselines. The change history of a component can be displayed as an ordered list of the baselines that it includes. You can view the baseline history of a component in any workspace or stream.

For each baseline that is included in the component, the History view displays the comment, creator, date and time that the baseline was created and added to history, and who added it.

Note: In some cases, a component might have more than one copy of a specific baseline. This is a potential side effect of various operations, including the Replace option, and does not affect component integrity.

Note: A * is displayed beside the baseline for a component if changes occur to the component in the parent repository workspace or stream after the current baseline. For example, for baseline Java UI (4: Iteration 1), Java UI is the component name, 4 is the baseline ID, and Iteration 1 is the baseline name. If changes occur to the component after the current baseline, the baseline is displayed as Java UI (*4: Iteration 1).

Procedure

To view more information about a baseline, hover over the component icon in the History view.
To view the baseline history of a component, in the Pending Changes or Team Artifacts view, right-click a component; then click Show Baselines.
To set the preference to view the current baseline in the Pending Changes or Team Artifact view, navigate to Tools > Source Control > Jazz Source Control > Changes and select Show component's current baseline.
To compare the selected baseline with the previous baseline, right-click the baseline; then click Compare with Previous.
To compare the baseline with one of the previous baselines or any baseline in the repository for a specified component, right-click the baseline; then click Compare with Baseline.
To determine which streams, repository workspaces, or snapshots contain a change set or set of change sets, right-click the baseline; then click Locate Change Sets.
To view baseline properties, right-click the baseline; then click Properties.
