How to force the selection of the baseline during migration?

This is done through the workflow setup in the Domain Setup Wizard (found at:  Phire Architect > Architect Administration > Domain Setup Wizard).  Go to Step 14. Workflow Definitions, and drill into the details for the migration step in question.  Change the Task Trigger from “Migration” to “Migration w/Baseline” that forces the selection.

In the templates delivered with Phire this option is used for the production migration, and the regular “Migration” is used for the lower environments.  Often, in test environments customers don’t really rollback changes (if there’s a problem found in testing they just fail it in the workflow and re-migration after the developer has fixed it).  But it is important to ensure that the baseline is done migrating to production.

Also, note that this aspect of the workflow is set in the CR at the time it’s created and the setup will only affect new CRs moving forward.  The CR Workflow Reset component is available to address existing CRs if necessary.
