Using SoftBench Configuration Manager
Creating a Default Symbolic Name for Archive Files
Chapter 3 113
During Check In
• SoftBench CM tags the checked in file with the first symbolic name on
the list. Two revisions of the same file cannot have the same symbolic
name. If the system already includes a revision tagged with the
specified symbolic name, the tag no longer applies to that revision.
• SoftBench CM creates a branch, if necessary, for the new tagged
revision.
During File Creation
• SoftBench CM creates the file and tags the initial version with the
first symbolic name on the list.
• If the special default entry contains a number, the initial version
includes that revision number.
Defining Symbolic Names
You can define a symbolic name list when creating a mapping or editing
an existing mapping.
To define a symbolic name list for an existing mapping:
1. Choose "Actions: Show/Modify Mappings…".
2. In the"Currently Defined Mappings" section of the dialog box,
select the mapped archive for which you want to define a symbolic
name.
3. Select Modify....
4. In the "Modify Mapping" dialog box, enter the a "Symbolic Name
List" entry.
5. Select OK.
Symbolic Name Example
The following example shows the revision history of two files (see Table
3-1) and the results of the configuration management actions after
setting the symbolic name list to "DemoVersion,Revision1_1,*3" (see
Table 3-2).
