You can create a new version of an existing baseline in order to take a new
benchmark.
About this task
You can have several versions of each baseline. This enables you to take successive
benchmarks that reflect stages in the development of a service or of a group of CIs. Each baseline
can have only one inactive version at a time. If you already have an inactive version, you can work
with it rather than creating a new version. The Create Version icon is inactive if you already have
an inactive version.Any user can create a new version of a baseline.
Procedure
- Click to open the CI Baselines application.
- Place the cursor in the CI Baseline field. Type a filter term if you want to limit the
list of records. Press Enter.
- Open the baseline for which you want to create a new version.
- Choose the Create Version action.
The new version will be created as inactive. The version number is incremented from the
previous value.
Results
If you have a baseline that includes member CIs that are associated with
different customers, all of these member CIs are included when you create a new version of the
baseline. They are included even if the user who creates the new version does not have authorization
to view all the member CIs. The same access restrictions apply to the new version; any user,
including the user who created the new version, can see only those CIs that are associated with
customers whose CIs that user is authorized to view.
What to do next
After you create the new version, you can add or remove members, or keep the member list
the same.
