Often, you may have a master configuration, which you install to one or more Rhapsody installations; for example, if you are a vendor who uses Rhapsody in an OEM or reseller situation, you may have a master configuration that you install to a number of sites. Over time, the definitions may change as alterations are incorporated into the master configuration, and these may be migrated to different installations at different times.

The File Manager displays the current version of S3D and MDF files in the Server Version field.

Overwriting a Definition

When adding or updating a definition using the File Manager, Rhapsody checks to see if a definition with the same name exists on the server, and if so, the server version. If an existing definition is found, the Confirm Definition Overwrite dialog is displayed.

Refer to Overwriting Definitions and Overwriting Lookup Tables for details.

Definition History

You can browse the version history of a definition file and roll back the current version of the file to a previous one through the Definition History dialog for a definition file. Refer to Definition History for details.

To launch the Definition History dialog for a definition file:

  • Select the appropriate definition file and select the Definition History button.

  • Right-click on the appropriate definition file and select the Definition History menu item.
