Version Vault

Overview

• Version Vault saves a copy of each SAP version of a custom object, and allows you to display it, sometimes in more than one possible format.
• If a system is ever lost, you will be able to retrieve a copy of each object version that was in it from Version Vault.
• Version Vault also lets you quickly navigate the full hierarchy of custom objects in each system, and provides an intelligent, as-you-type dynamic dropdown in its object name field.

Try this:

1. If you have not already done so, log into the Rev-Trac Insights Test Drive System.
2. If Insights dashboard (list of Insights apps) is not already displayed, display it by clicking Insights logo at the top left of the screen.
3. Click on Version Vault from Insights dashboard.
4. In the systems dropdown, select DEV.
5. In the object type dropdown, select Package.
6. In the text field, type ZSALT.
7. Click on the arrow to the right of the text field.

Result:

Version Vault displays the objects present in package ZSALT as a navigable hierarchy.

Try this:

1. Complete the steps above, and then expand the Programs node.

2. Click ZROCK_SALT. Version Vault displays the active version of this program in DEV.

3. Click on the inverted triangle button in the top right corner above the source code.

4. Click on any version. Version Vault displays the source code of the version you selected.

5. Click on Compare versions. Insights displays a Match Box view of the selected object, comparing it with an adjacent version of the same object.

To experience Version Vault's dynamic object name dropdown, try this:

1. In the Version Vault systems dropdown, select DEV
2. In the object type dropdown, select Program.
3. In the text field, type YIDES. (Do not click the arrow to the right of the text field.)

Result:

Version Vault proposes a dropdown list of possible matches to YIDES*, automatically appending an implied * wildcard to what you have typed.

You can use both the SAP standard ? and * wildcards within this field.
