We have composite baseline for our components.
Whenever we release the product after recommend the baseline, I would change the property of baseline to change the promotion level.
By default the promotion level is "INITIAL".
While we release the product i would change the Promotion property as "EXTERNAL RELEASE".
But to do this, I have to go and edit each any every member baseline property.
Is there any way to make changes in composite baseline properties to replicate in it's member?
No, the re is no "inheritance" between the custom values of a composite baseline and its baseline member.
It is best to script the operation, by describing the composite baseline, extract the baseline members name, and do a cleartool mkattr -replace on each one with the new value.
(cleartool mkattr has a -recurs - recursive - option, but it would be for directory only, it doesn't work for non-file-system objects)
cleartool descr -fmt "%[depends_on]Cp\n" aCompositeBaseline@\aPVob
# for each member baselines
cleartool mkattr -replace PromotionLevel "EXTERNAL RELEASE" baseline:aBaseline@\aPVob
Note how I use the fully qualifed name of the object on which I want to modify the custom attribute value: baseline:aBaseline@\aPVob.
Since "EXTERNAL_RELEASE" isn't a default promotion level, you need to define it first: see "About creating custom promotion levels and attribute types for UCM baselines".
