Viewing Package Settings, Version Number, and Patch History
For each package, Designer tracks and displays settings, version number, and a history of installed patches. A patch is a partial upgrade, change, or fix to the contents of a package.
You might want to check the settings or patch history of a package for the following reasons:
To determine which version of the package is installed.
To avoid overwriting the installed package with a lower version of the same package.
To view the changes that are included in each version of the package.
To inform
Software AG Global Support which versions of predefined packages are installed on your
Integration Server.
To view package settings, version number, and patch history
1. In Package Navigator view, select the package whose properties you wish to view.
2. Click File > Properties.
3. In Properties for PackageName dialog box, select Package Settings.
The
Package Settings page displays the version and patch history for the package since the last full release of the package. (A full release of a package incorporates all previous patches for the package.) For more information about package settings, see
Package Properties.
Note: When the server administrator installs a full release of a package (a release that includes all previous patches for the package), the Integration Server removes the existing patch history. This helps the server administrator avoid potential confusion about version numbers and re-establish a baseline for package version numbers.
