Publishing a baseline to developers

About this task

You have now updated the system testing projects, dealt with conflicts, built your products, and tested the application. You are ready to make the changes available to others. You will do this by publishing the test baseline.

As soon as you publish the baseline, it will be available as a baseline for selection during an update. The process rules ensure that projects will use the latest baseline.

Procedure

  1. Select the test baseline(s) that you want to transition to system testing, right-click over the baseline(s), and choose Publish.
  2. Create work areas for your baseline projects, if necessary.

    If you are creating an external project, for example, for product sharing, be sure to create a work area that is visible to everyone. For a discussion of baseline projects, see About baseline creation, bottom paragraph.

    1. Right-click over the system testing project(s) whose work area settings you want to modify, and choose Properties.

      The Properties dialog box appears.

    2. Click the Work Area tab.
    3. Select the On/Off option.

      Selecting this option causes Rational Synergy to maintain a copy of the project in your work area and the project to sync automatically when you click the Apply button.

    4. Click Apply to save the changes.
  3. Inform developers that they can update their projects to bring in changes.

Results

You have now published a baseline for the system testing projects. The published baseline makes the build available to others. As soon as users update their projects, they can start using the new baseline.
