6.18 Folder Editor

Use to create and configure folders.

A folder is a group of packages, mappings, and specific procedures. Folders and sub-folders allow these objects to be grouped and organized according to criteria specific to the project. Sub-folders can be created to an unlimited number of levels.

Note:

To create a sub-folder, create a folder, then drag and drop it into the parent folder. Alternatively, click on the New Sub-Folder context menu item of a Folder or Sub-Folder.

The Folder Editor has the following tabs:

6.18.1 Definition

Properties	Description
Name	Name of the folder or sub-folder, as it appears in the Oracle Data Integrator user interface.

6.18.2 Version

Use to view and manage versions of your object.

A version is a backup copy of an object and is saved in the master repository. A version is checked in at a given time and may be restored later.

The version management system allows flags on developed objects (such as projects, models, and so forth) to be set automatically to indicate their status (such as new or modified). The version management system also allows these objects to be backed up as stable checkpoints, and later restored from these checkpoints. These checkpoints are created for individual objects in the form of versions.
