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.
