Using Versioning Software

If you want to use any third-party versioning software together with Natural, you have to write your own interface. This interface is called by Natural each time an object is modified. For more information on how to build this interface, refer to the example in directory $NATDIR/$NATVERS/samples/natncvc.

Note:
With future versions of Natural, NATNCVC will no longer be supported. It is recommended that you use Local Versioning which is available with Natural Studio when you are working in a remote UNIX environment using SPoD. Using Local Versioning, you can use the source control system Concurrent Versions System (CVS) or Subversion (SVN) from within your Natural environment. To use this functionality, you must have the Subversion or CVS client part (svn.exe or cvs.exe) installed on your PC and you must have access to a Subversion or CVS repository server which has been installed locally or on a server. When you search the internet, you can find these Subversion or CVS components on several download sites. For detailed information on Local Versioning, see Natural Studio Extensions which is part of the Natural for Windows documentation.
