Version Control Tab

The Version Control tab (Tools > Project Settings > Version Control) sets version control automation and controls audit logging in Visual Integrator scripts at the project level.

NOTE: Version 7.1(14) introduced the option of using DTAP A phased approach for software development, testing, acceptance, and production style release management for your Workbench projects. This method requires developers to perform explicit commits to a central repository. If DTAP is in use, all Version Control settings on this tab should be cleared for a project. See Managing Software Releases.

Sample Version Control tab:

NOTES: 

• Version control is not supported for the special 6.4 projects, that is, 6.4 DiveLine Namespace and 6.4 Production Sandbox.
• Project and system aliases are also not subject to Workbench version control.
• Version control in Workbench is implemented using Git, an open-source distributed version-control system for tracking changes in source code during software development. Git stores changes between versions, not the whole file themselves. All version control related data is saved inside the Workbench project folder with Git.
• Workbench version control should be turned off if you have another version control system in use, or you are using DTAP style release management. This is because the saved message is simply "Auto-Commit", which is not helpful when examining logs in search of a particular commit.

• Version control is not the same as back-ups. You should have other backup systems in place to deal with catastrophic data loss.
