Test

For all entity types except modeled and SQL dataview

When a version is created in CA Ideal by either the CREATE or DUPLICATE command, the version is in test status. You can modify a version as long as it remains in test status. There can be many versions in test status at one time. If a dataview is edited, you must recatalog it before you can use it in a compilation.

For CA Datacom dataviews and sequential file dataviews modeled in the dictionary

Test versions are created and maintained in the dictionary. There can be up to 999 test versions at one time.

For SQL

Only one version is assigned; version 1 in production status.
