A workspace snapshot provides a persistent record of the configuration of a workspace, expressed as a collection of component baselines. Snapshots, which explicitly include baselines (and all of their change sets) are the highest-level configuration record available in Rational Team Concert™ source control. A snapshot records the configuration of a repository workspace (if there are any open change sets in the workspace, they are not included in the snapshot). A snapshot can be associated with one or more streams. A snapshot can be delivered and accepted in the same way as a baseline or change set
When you create a snapshot, you implicitly create a baseline for any component in your workspace that does not already have one.
Snapshots are typically created as needed by the Jazz™ Build Engine, so that there is a persistent record of the input to a build.
