Change Lists 

Use

Changes to objects can be organized in change lists.

Features

A change list contains all objects currently being edited by the user who is logged on.

An object appears in the change list as soon as it is saved for the first time.

When a user activates the change list, all objects in the list change status from Being Edited to Active. These objects can then be seen by all other users.

Displaying and Editing Change Lists in the Navigation Area

Change lists are displayed in the navigation area of the Integration Builder, on the tab page Change Lists.

·        Design mode shows change lists for every software component version.

·        Configuration mode shows a change list only.

The change list displays the objects edited by the logged on user. Each object type is indicated by the appropriate object type icon. Double-click the entry to call the editor Change <Object> (see Object Editors).

Functions in the Context Menu

This tab page offers you the same functions for sorting the change list as the tab page Repository/Directory in the navigation area. You can use the following functions to edit the change lists and its objects:

Function	Description
Activate	Only if the whole change list is selected: Activates the change list. All changes made to objects in the list are activated.
Delete Change List	If the whole change list is selected: Deletes the change list. All changes made to objects in the list are canceled.
Reject Change	If a single object in the change list is selected: Cancels all changes to the object.
Open	Only if an object is selected in the change list (object type icon): Calls the editor Change <Object> for the selected object. If the documentation icon () appears next to an object in the change list, double-click it to go to the documentation editor.

Object documentation is indicated by the icon  in the change list.

You can also copy an object from a different change list to your own change list, and then edit it yourself. To do this, choose <Object> ® Copy from External Change List in the object editor.
