Extracting Changes for a Patch Number
Use the Patches menu Extract command to extract changes in the patch number selected in the Patches Browser. (When you select the Changes option on the Extract Options sheet of the Extract dialog, all applications added to or changed in the patch version specified on the Changes sheet of the Extract dialog are included in the schema extract.)
The .jcf command file is created from the patch history. When a full schema extract is done, command file entries are created based on all the patch histories in your Jade system. Command file entries have a comment line that states the patch number from which they were extracted.
When you extract a specific patch number, the command file contains entries relating to that patch number only.
When you perform a partial extract (by using the extract dialog), the command file contains entries for all patch numbers that are part of that extract.
In a full schema extract, the command file is necessary only when renaming or moving classes. (Renamed properties, deleted properties, and deleted classes are not required in the command file for full schema extractions.)
