Clearcase: make baseline, but donot recommend, Can it cause error for others

This is regarding, IBM Rational Clearcase Explorer application. If we deliver some files, and take the step of "make baseline". After that, if we don't do the "Recommend Baseline" step, will it cause problem for others trying to deliver to the same stream?

Solution

  • After that, if we don't do the "Recommend Baseline" step, will it cause problem for others trying to deliver to the same stream?

    deliver, no. Rebase maybe, as ClearCase will rebase by default the recommended baseline of the parent (source) UCM stream.

    But for delivering (cleartool deliver), you can deliver the baseline you want.
    Since the deliver stream's recommended baseline is selected by default, that could also trip a user not double-checking the exact name of the auto-selected baseline.
