Managing Application Versions
HOPEX IT Portfolio Management enables management of different versions of applications.
Managing Versions
Application versions enable creation of application variants. Each version constitutes a new application which inherits elements of the application from which it is derived. The user can then indicate the differences to be added to the new application, by modifying or replacing obsolete elements.
The system of versions therefore enables follow-up of updates of an application over time.
For more details on versions, see Object Versions.
To use variations, select the Business Process and Architecture Modeling option, Activate Variations.If you create a version of an application, the parent application is automatically locked. To modify the application, you must create a new version or unlock the application.
The version of an application is created without an object life, even if the parent had one.Unlocking an application
To unlock the parent object that has been versioned:
Click the icon of the initiative and select Manage > Unlock Object.This command appears if you are authorized to unlock protected objects.
For more information on locks, see lock management in chapter "Managing Transactions" of the HOPEX Power Supervisor guide.
