Deploying Java CAPS Projects

Version Control

The Deployment Profile Editor allows you to control which version of the various Project components get mapped in the Deployment Profile. The editor provides a spreadsheet-like view to display the Project components and their versions. This view includes the component name, project path, current version in the users’ workspace, tag assigned to the version (if there is one), and to what external system the component is mapped. This view is enabled by clicking the Spreadsheet View icon in the Deployment Profile Editor toolbar.

The spreadsheet view has an option that is checked by default to show only those components that are displayed when mapping components to external systems. If not checked, those components not ordinarily seen in the Deployment Profile (for example, Connectivity Maps and OTDs) will be listed as well. Listing them allows you to also specify the version of those components.

The spreadsheet view allows you to specify the version for each component by selecting a version or tag from a drop-down list. Selecting versions or tags does not affect your workspace, but is only for setting up the versions to appear in a snapshot; only when the snapshot is retrieved will your workspace be modified.
