Check In an Object

When you complete your changes, check in the object to save them to the same or a new object version.

After you complete the following procedure, the Designer remains open and you can continue viewing the object in read-only mode. Check out the object again to make more changes.

Follow these steps:

1. Check Out an Object.
2. Edit the object.
3. Save Changes to a Checked-Out Object.
4. On the object editor toolbar or Library Browser toolbar, click Check In.

   The Check In dialog appears with the object name in the Object Name field.

5. To specify how to check in your changes, configure the following settings:

   Current

   Selected: Make the checked-in version the current version of the object. The current version is the version that CA Process Automation uses.

   Cleared: Retain the previously current version as the current version. Clear the check box if you are checking in an object for which design is in progress.

   Baseline

   Selected: The object version that you are checking in cannot be changed during a future checkout. Baseline versions can only be the basis of new versions. You can check out a baseline version, change it, and check in the object as a new version.

   Cleared: The object version that you are checking in can be changed during a future checkout.

   Version

   Displays the object version that you are checking in.

   Release Version

   Defines a unique indicator for an object version that is selected for export as part of a release.

   If the Release Version field is read-only, the object was imported previously with the release version in nonmodifiable mode. The tooltip provides details.

   Enter a value for Release Version only when you are preparing the object version for export (alone, in a folder). Enter a release-specific value so that there is no conflict with any release version value for an existing object in the import environment.

   Note: If a conflict occurs, the import fails. Specifically, the import fails under the following conditions:

   • The object is imported with the option Import as a New Version and Keep Existing Object.
   • The existing object has a version that has the same Release Version value as the value you enter in the Release Version field.

   Comments

   (Optional) Enter descriptive comments to save with this version of the object.

   Check In As

   Specifies whether to create a version of the object or apply the changes to the same version.

   New Version: Creates a version of the object.

   Same Version: Overwrites the current version of the object with changes made since it was last checked out.

6. Click Check In.

   Note: If you try to check in changes for a baselined object, CA Process Automation displays an error message.
