Retrieve a specific document version

Under source control, all historical versions of a document are held since it was first added to source control. This means that you can look at previous versions of a file, and if necessary, replace your working copy of the file with an older version. Oracle Policy Modeling allows you to directly access the document history if you are using the Subversion source control program, otherwise you can use your source control program to access the document history.

What do you want to do?

View historical versions of Word rule documents

Compare versions of Word rule documents

Retrieve versions of other rulebase documents

View historical versions of Word rule documents

If you are using Subversion for your project source control, you can compare and view historical versions of Word rule documents in Oracle Policy Modeling:

In Oracle Policy Modeling, right-click on the file name in the Project Explorer and select Version History.
Select the version of the document you are interested in and click View to open that version.
If you wish to replace your working copy of the document with the older version, use Save As in Word to replace it.

Compare versions of Word rule documents

If you are using Subversion for your project source control, you can also compare any historical version of a rule document with the current document, or compare two historical versions.

In Oracle Policy Modeling, right-click on the file name in the Project Explorer and select Version History.
Select the version of the document you are interested in and click Compare With Current to view the differences between that version and the current version of the document. You can also select two versions of the document by holding down the Control key while clicking to select, then click Compare Changes to view the differences between the two selected versions.
Word is opened showing the two document versions and highlighting the changes between the two.

Retrieve versions of other rulebase documents

To retrieve historical versions of project files other than Word rule documents, or if your project source control does not use Subversion, use your source control program to view the log or history for the file. When you have selected the particular version that you are interested in you can either:

view that file, or
roll back to that version of the file.

Refer to the Help material in your source control program for more information on these tasks.
