Creating New Version of Asset
When you version an asset, you become the owner of the new version of the asset. Ownership is not carried forward from the previous version.
The new version of the asset will belong to the same organization as its previous version.
*To create new version of an asset
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Browse.
2. In the Assets pane, right-click an asset for which you want to create a new version, and click Add Version.
You can also select multiple assets, click the Actions menu, and click Add Version
Note:
You can also initiate this step using the Versions profile in the details page of an asset.
3. In the Add Version dialog box, type the appropriate information for each of the displayed fields:
In this field...
Do the following...
Namespace
The namespace associated with this new version. This is of specific relevance for Service assets. The namespace given here reflects the target namespace defined in the associated WSDL file. A change of the namespace can be a differentiating factor between versions. Note that if you supply a new namespace here, you should ensure that the WSDL associated with this asset also reflects the new namespace.
System Version
In addition to the user-defined version, CentraSite automatically creates a System Version number. The system version number is independent from the version number you specify. The system version numbers are maintained for CentraSite's own internal use. CentraSite automatically assigns this version number when you create a new version of an asset. You cannot modify it. The version numbers assigned by CentraSite have the format <MajorVersion>. <Revision> and are always sequentially numbered starting from 1.0 (for example, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0). The revision number is incremented automatically each time you modify the current version of the asset.
User Version - New
An identifier for the new version. You can use any versioning scheme you choose. The version identifier does not need to be numeric. Examples:
0.0a
1.0.0 (beta)
Pre-release 001
V1-2007.04.30
Organization
Choose the organization to which the versioned asset will be added. (The drop-down list will contain the list of organizations to which you are permitted to add assets.) If you select an organization other than your own organization, you will nevertheless be the owner of the asset.
Important:
Choose the organization carefully. You cannot change the organization assignment later. You can, however, export a versioned asset from one organization and import it to another.
Change Log
Optional. Type a comment or other descriptive information about the new version.
Propagate versions to dependent objects
(CentraSite only processes this check box for assets of type Service.)
Select this check box to automatically create new versions of all of the service's dependent schemas. The schemas will only be updated if you have permissions to modify them.
4. Click OK.
*If one or more or the selected assets is not the most recent version of the asset, CentraSite displays an error message, and no new version is created for any of the assets.
*If one or more or the selected assets is a Virtual Service asset, CentraSite displays an error message, and no new version is created for any of the assets.
