WinC/WinNTC DLL File Version Marking

With CA Plex r7.1, for unmanaged C++ applications, version information is added to a compiled DLL by adding a VERSIONINFO structure into a resource file (.rc) associated with your function. This information is then compiled into the target DLL through the MS Resource Compiler when the function is build.

By adding the File Version information to your WinC and WinNTC functions, you can perform the following tasks:

1. Track changes within your applications.
2. Create robust installation programs that work with the compiled Plex generated C++ artifacts.
3. Identify which CA Plex model function, a Plex generated DLL is related to.
4. Identify which version and PTF build of CA Plex was used to generate and build a particular DLL.

The following documentation deliverables were updated for this feature:
