Host Encyclopedia Version Control provides a basic set of tools to share objects between models. Version control provides a way to maintain multiple models that represent the same system at different stages of development, testing, and production.
When an object is changed in one model, version control can transfer the changed object to other copies of the model. For example, an object that is changed in a development model can be transferred to the test and production copies of the model.
The version control lets you apply changes to the production model easily because you can copy only the directly changed objects without having to copy the entire model.
To implement production enhancements, control is maintained over Construction objects, as in traditional source program maintenance, and Planning, Analysis, and Design objects too. Using version control, production enhancements are as easy to maintain as a traditional source program (which simply copies updated programs from library to library).
Version control makes the coordination of large development efforts possible. Multiple models contain identical versions of objects. Changed the objects in one model can be copied to other models so that object definitions remain the same.
Because you can use multiple models in the development effort, more analysts can participate with less chance of causing contention problems for any one model or object.
You cannot transfer objects between two model families in two separate Encyclopedias.
