Managing Model Objects › Working with Versions of Functions and Messages › Example

Example

Suppose Internal Function A2, a version of Internal Function A, has been edited and tested and you want to make it current. This diagram shows the other objects in the model that see Internal Function A. Note that no model objects see Internal Function A2.

When you make Internal Function A2 current, all model objects that had referred to Internal Function A are changed to use Internal Function A2. This is shown in the following diagram. Note that other model objects no longer see Internal Function A.

If you find errors in Internal Function A2 you can make Internal Function A current again using the same process.

To make a version current:

From the Work with Versions panel enter 26 for the version you want to make current or execute the Redirect Model Object (YRDRMDLOBJ) command from the command line. The following panel displays:

1. Indicate how CA 2E is to handle the object names of the two versions. By default,CA 2E exchanges the name of the original current version and the name of the new current version.

   Be sure to document the exchange of model object names since this could be confusing to others. Also, note that model object list entries that see these versions are not automatically updated to reflect the exchange of names. You can refresh the affected model object lists by pressing F15 from the Edit Model Object List panel to invoke the Check Model Object List (YCHKMDLLST) command.

   You can change the default if you set the Transfer object name option to *NO.

2. Indicate whether redirection is to be considered a significant change to the model. By default, considers redirection to be a public change. If you set the Change type option to *PUBLIC or *PRIVATE, updates component change processing data in the All Objects list for the new current version. If you specify *NONE, component change processing is not performed.
