Configuring Maintenance Objects for Revision Control

Most configuration tool maintenance objects are pre-configured for revision control. You can configure other maintenance objects for revision control, as well.

To configure other objects for revision control:
  1. Create a physical business object for the maintenance object. Refer to Creating a Physical Business Object for more information.
  2. Add a foreign key reference to the maintenance object so that the standard information string is displayed. Foreign key references are used for many purposes and most maintenance objects should have them anyway. Check the Maintenance Object options to see if there is an entry for the Foreign Key Reference option. If one is not configured, navigate to FK Reference and set up a foreign key reference for the primary table of the maintenance object. Configure that new FK reference on the maintenance object using an option.
  3. Add the Revision Control zone to the maintenance object.
    1. Navigate to Context Sensitive Zone and search for the navigation key for the maintenance object.
    2. Add the Revision Control zone, F1-OBJREVCTL, to that navigation key.
  4. Add the revision control algorithm to the maintenance object.
    1. Go to the Maintenance Object page and search for the maintenance object that you want to have revision control.
    2. On the Algorithms tab of the maintenance object, add the revision control algorithm F1-REVCTL.
