The versioning module stores the application’s versioning configuration, cleanly separating it from the application’s production configuration. When you create the versioning module, you specify the source module and appropriate ATG Content Administration modules, in the ATGRequired property in the versioning module’s manifest. For information on available choices, refer to Running Specific Application Modules in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for your applications server.
Note: When creating the versioning module’s manifest, list ATG Content Administration modules before the source module itself. For example:
ATGRequired: Publishing.base MyModule
Although not required, it is a good idea to name the versioning module by appending ver to the source module name. For example, given source module Catalog, the versioning module name is CatalogVer.
For detailed information on creating an ATG application module and its manifest file, see the discussion on application modules in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide. You can also use the manifest file provided with the versioned module of the demo application WebAppRefVer, at:
<ATG2007.3dir>\Publishing\WebAppRefVer\METAINF
