Setting Up a Patch Number

The Jade Installation Preferences dialog enables you to set up a new patch version number to apply to all changes to a selected schema (and optionally any subschemas that it contains) by all developers.

For details about setting:

Up a patch number for all schemas in your database when you have not yet set up patch versioning for any schema, see "Enabling or Disabling Patch Versioning", earlier in this chapter.
The patch number you want to use in the current schema, see "Setting a Patch Number", later in this chapter.
A default patch number when patch control extensions are enabled, see the DefaultPatchNumber parameter in the [JadePatchControlExtensions] section, in the Jade Initialization File Reference.
The patch number selected in the table of the Patches Browser as the current patch number, see "Setting a Patch Number", later in this chapter.

You cannot set a patch number for a schema unless global patch versioning is enabled for your Jade Platform development environment.

To set up a patch version for a selected schema

Select the Set Patch Number command from the Jade Installation Preferences dialog Patch menu. The Patch Version Setup dialog is then displayed.

For details, see the following subsection, "Using the Patch Version Setup Dialog".
