Allows a developer to change the version name on an item after it has been versioned.
This is very useful for baselining components for release. An option is provided to rename
all subcomponents as well. This command is available for items in the workbench and in the
repository.
Two additional options are also provided to allow selective control over what gets
renamed. Only versions that match a specific version name (wildcards are
OK) may be renamed or versions
(editions) that were created on or after a specific date (defaults to today's date). The
latter option makes it easy to rename all versions that were modified since a certain
date.
Compatibility Note: Renaming versions only effects the library version name of the selected items. It does not affect
JavaDoc @version tags or version fields/methods since changing source code for an existing version is not permitted. In order to change any of the source code for a class or one of its methods, a new edition must be
obtained. The following warning dialog is displayed if either of the above
options is in effect.
 VA Assist Enterprise Only |
| Given the power of the version renaming function (and its potential for abuse), it may
be globally disabled by the Administrator through the
"Disable version renaming" checkbox on the "VA Assist | Administrator"
options page. |
