Applications Menu Commands

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_vao_app.bmp$

New Edition & Release

Combines the New Edition and Release To Existing Configs commands. When creating a new subapplication edition, this is the ideal command to use. This command will recursively create and release editions of any parent applications if necessary.

Rename Version | Classes

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_renameapp.bmp$

Provide new version names for all of the classes within the selected applications that have changed since a specified cutoff date.

Rename Version | Applications

Provide new versions names for all of the selected applications.

Rename Version | Both

Provide new versions names for all of the selected applications and the classes within them.

Rename Version | Include Subapplications

Provide new versions names for all of the selected applications, their subapplications and the classes within them.

Rename Version | Reset Cutoff Dates

Reset the default cutoff date to 1-1-93.

Version | Include Subapplications & Classes

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_versionapp.bmp$

Recursively version all of the selected applications, their subapplications and the classes within them.

Version | Allow Any Name

When turned on, this command allows you to specify any version name for an edition regardless of whether the name has been used in the past. This makes it easy to correct naming mistakes or create new versions with the same name as a prior version.

Release | Current Edition To Existing Configs

Releases the new editions of the selected subapplications to the same configurations as the existing editions. For example, if a subapplication appears in two out of four platform dependent configurations, this command will release the new edition into only the two configurations that it had previously been released to. This eliminates the need to open an Application Editions browser to examine the configurations before releasing the subapplications into the appropriate ones.

Configuration Maps | Locate Selected Applications

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_vao_app_cm.bmp$

Find the current (e.g., most recent) config maps containing the selected applications by name.

Configuration Maps | Release Selected Applications

Release the current editions of the selected applications into their containing config maps and optionally propagate the changes throughout the entire config map hierarchy.

Configuration Maps | Release Other Editions

Release the other editions of the selected applications into their containing config maps and optionally propagate the changes throughout the entire config map hierarchy.

Configuration Maps | Propogate Changes

Indicates whether config map changes should be propagated throughout the entire config map hierarchy.

Configuration Maps | Create New Editions As Necessary

Indicates whether new config map editions should be created in the event that no open edition currently exists.

Inspect All Instances

Opens an inspector on all instances of all the classes in the selected application.
