Re: Re: Versioning of folders in PC8.1

Hi All,
 
Just an additional update on versioning....In PC 7.x there was a bug reported where multiple folders used to get created during upgradation.
This bug has been fixed in 8.1.
There is no issue of folder replication now.

Regards,
Amit

My bad. I should have asked whether you recently upgraded the repository.

[Just a short tech info for those interested in this matter: The
versioning scheme in earlier versions of PowerCenter utilised several
versions of folders to keep a history of objects; these folders had
additional numbers in their names, e.g. Testfolder_0_ 0_0,
Testfolder_0_ 0_1, and so on.
The scheme introduced in PowerCenter 7 has been rewritten from
scratch, so these schemes of versioning cannot be compared.]

Nico

I suggest you be a bit more careful about your wording; what you
describe is strictly speaking NO bug:
If you as an upgrade process have let's say five versions of the same
folder, how would YOU do the upgrade? Of course from a technical point
of view it makes sense to keep these five folders alive in the
upgraded repository.

That this behaviour rarely makes much sense for a human is a
completely different story.

So in my opinion you should not name this behaviour a bug; from the
technical point of view this behaviour was correct.

Nico
