Item Version Management

OZ Repository Manager offers a strong version management function to support multi-developer environment.

In order to ensure safe sharing and renewal of files, OZ Repository Manager does not allow one item to be modified or renewed by multiple developers. In addition, OZ Repository server grants the modification right for each item on only one developer at any moment, and restricts users to obtain the modification right from the repository server when renewing files managed by the repository server.

Modifying/renewing a file registered in the repository server requires the following steps.

1.Obtain access permission to the file using check-out function.

2.Copy the files to the working folder and modify them.

3.Use the check-in function to register the modified content of a file to the repository server.

Keep in mind that until the checked-out item is checked in again or undone check out, other users cannot obtain the editing right on that item. So, in a group project, extra effort to minimize the check out time on shared files is required. We also recommend close sharing of modified files to minimize problems that might occur due to information gap.
