Reverting to a previous version.

[Chris Kelleher]

I am on Roundtable 8.2C. I have noticed what may be a bug or a procedural
error on my part. I am getting an information bar on an object that I had
reverted to a previous version. This info says: That the current version
is not the latest completed version.

What happened is this:
I checked out an object (version 010001). I modified this object, compiled
it, and checked it in. The code subsequentially made it to the production
environment. The customer that made the decision did not bother to research
the impact on other departments. Needless to say, I was asked to change it
back to the original version.
I deleted the object, which prompted Roundtable to ask if I wanted to revert
to the previous version. I affirmed this and recompiled the old version and
got the information bar mentioned above.

I read my trusty Roundtable User's Guide for information on Deleting objects
and did not see much of anything that could help. Since I am sure that I am
not the first person ever to encounter this situation, I figured that PEG
could help. Has anybody out there hit upon this?

Dave,

The button showing you that there is an object available with a higher
version number is correct. You have to remeber that once an object has been
checked in, it cannot be completely removed from the repository. The fact
that you have reverted back to a previous version merely means that the
current configuration list for your workspace is using an older version of
that particular object. You can always access the object that you "deleted".

To make a long story short - information about a newer version being
available will disappear once the version number for that particlar object
exceeds 010001.

HTH - if not let me know.

Regards

Thomas
