Generate New Baseline

When the Aras Innovator is installed for the first time, a Git Tag marks the starting point. It uses the following format: CleanInnovatorxxSPyy,

where xx is the version and yy is the Service Pack number of the base platform.

Define the Git Tag on the last approved Commit. The Pull request (PR) process must be completed to get the tested Commit that is proposed as the new Baseline to the Destination (Central Repo) Branch. The Commit must be tagged.

The following steps outline the process of creating a Tag on the last approved Commit:

1. Navigate to https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}.
2. Click Repos and select Commits. Select the corresponding successful Commit.

3. Click the More options menu and select Create tag …
   

4. Enter the following details in the Create a tag dialog:

• Name: Name of the Tag.
• Based on: Commit above.
• Description: Tag Description.

Select an appropriate Baseline naming convention. For most projects without features, using prj (Project), bl (Baseline), and numbers is sufficient. For example, prjbl001 for a user’s first Baseline.

After each product release, it is also recommended that the user must have a prdbl001 Production Baseline.

Some projects may have several workstreams (features) with different go-live dates. For such projects, the team may include feature designations, such as mbsebl01: mbse (Model-Based Systems Engineering), bl (Baseline), and 01 (chosen identifying number).

5. Click the Create button.
