RepositoryObjectVersion CreateVersion Method
This method creates a new version of a repository object, based on the current version.
Syntax
set variable = object.CreateVersion(versionID)
The Refresh method syntax has the following parts.
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| variable | An object expression that evaluates to a RepositoryObjectVersion object. It receives a reference to the newly created object version. |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to a RepositoryObjectVersion object. |
| versionID | The value you want the repository to use as an object-version identifier for the newly created object version. If you want the repository to choose a value for you, set this parameter to EXTVERSIONID_NULL, or you can leave it blank. |
Remarks
The current object version must be frozen.
The repository engine creates the new version as unfrozen. Its property values are identical to the property values of the current object version.
For each of the predecessor version's origin relationship collections, the repository engine takes this action:
- If the corresponding relationship type has the COLLECTION_NEWORGVERSIONSPARTICIPATE flag set, the repository engine copies the collection to the newly created version.
- If the corresponding relationship type does not have the COLLECTION_NEWORGVERSIONSPARTICIPATE flag set, the repository engine does not copy the collection to the new version.
You cannot invoke this method while operating in a workspace.
