Loading and Unloading Versions

Data Relationship Management works with versions of data loaded into memory on the application server. A version is loaded:

At the time the version is created
Explicitly from the application repository by user request
Implicitly when data is requested from a saved version
At the beginning of a data import process
During a version restore process from a backup file

Loaded versions can utilize significant server resources (memory). Each loaded version increases the amount of memory used on the application server by Data Relationship Management. When a version is no longer being used, it is recommended to unload the version to enable other processes to use those resources.

To explicitly load a saved version from the repository:

From Browse, select a saved version.
Select Versions, then Load.
The Load Status of the version will change from Initialized to Saved after the version is loaded.

Note:

Unloading a version clears it from memory and deletes it if not saved to the database.

To unload a saved version:

From Browse, select a version.
Select Versions, then Unload.
When the version tree refreshes, the version is displayed with a Load Status of Initialized.
