Changing a Delta

From the Delta Browser, use the Change command from the Delta menu to change an existing delta selected in the browser. (When you load a schema that contained delta information when it was extracted, you must redefine your deltas in the newly loaded schema, as delta information is not extracted or loaded. For details, see "Adding a Delta".)

If patch versioning is used, changing the name of a delta also updates the name of the delta in any JADE Patch Version detail entries for that delta.

To change a delta

  1. Select the Change command from the Delta menu. The Change Delta Definition dialog is then displayed.

  2. In the Delta Id text box, enter the new identifier name for the delta.

    The delta name must be unique, and cannot contain spaces. JADE converts the first character to uppercase.

  3. In the Description text box, change the description of the delta, if required. The description can be used to uniquely identify a delta.

  4. Click the OK button when you have maintained your delta. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

When you click the OK button, the Delta Browser then displays your updated delta details.
