If you want to create baselines of several modules at the same time, you can create a list of the modules called a baseline set definition. You create the list in the project properties, and can include modules from anywhere in the database.
Baseline set definitions are stored with either project or folder properties. When you want to create module baselines, you access the baseline set definition from the project or folder properties window and create a baseline set. You can then baseline all the modules in the set at the same time.
Creating baselines of large numbers of modules in this way has several advantages:
- Having all the modules listed together in the same place means that you never forget about one of the modules in the group when it is time to baseline them.
- Rational® DOORS® checks for locks on the modules before starting to baseline them.
- The baselines can be labeled so that it is clear that they are part of the same group.
- Links between modules baselines in a baseline set are handled differently by Rational DOORS. This improved link handling means that traceability is maintained between baselines in the same way as it is between current module versions.
