Versioning of Configurations

Optionally you can provide a name and version number for the configuration defined for the company. You can add the configuration name and version to AMM files generated from the database to overwrite a configuration name and version in the target database on update of the meta-model with the AMM files. The system administrator updating a database configuration with the AMM file can view the configuration name and version in the summary or the AMM content.

If a configuration name and version is defined, it will be displayed in addition to the Alfabet version number to users clicking Help > About Alfabet in the masthead of the Alfabet user interface:

11-11_AboutAlfabetConfName 

To define a configuration name and version:

  1. In Alfabet Expand, go to the Admin tab.
  2. In the explorer, click the Environment node.
  3. In the attribute window, define the name and version for the configuration in the Configuration Name and Configuration Version attributes.
  4. Click the Save button.
