Customizing the Auto-increment Map Version

Sterling Gentran:Server® supports automatically incrementing the version number of a map based on a global option you can set.

You can set a global option on the Application Integration Preferences dialog box to specify when map version numbers are incremented. The following are the options for automatically incrementing the map version number:

  • Never auto-increment.
  • Ask whether to increment when saving a map.
  • Ask whether to auto-increment when compiling a map.
  • Always auto-increment when saving a map.
  • Always auto-increment when compiling a map.
Note: The auto-increment function updates the minor version number of the map on the Translation Object Details dialog box, up to 255. If the minor version number exceeds 255, the system updates the minor version number to zero and increases the major version number. For example, version number 1.255 will be auto-incremented to 2.0.

Use this procedure to set the auto-increment map version function.

  1. Select Options > Preferences.
  2. Select the Version tab.
  3. Select the appropriate option and click OK.

    The system sets the global auto-increment option you selected.
