Configure version control for docbases

You can set up default parameters for all docbases and set up custom default parameters for one or more docbases under a server using the Administration Tool.

1. Open the TEXTML Server Administration Console and connect to the server.
2. Do one of the following:
   • To configure default versioning parameters for all docbases, right-click the server and select Configure Properties.
   • To configure default versioning parameters for a specific docbase, connect to the docbase, right-click the docbase, and select Configure Properties.
   The Configure properties dialog box opens.

   The Version Control tab is active by default.

3. To enable version control, select Enabled.
   Note: If version control is disabled, when documents are updated, a newer document replaces an existing document with the same name, and TEXTML Server does not track the version.
4. Set up default behavior as follows:
   • To keep previous versions of a document upon update, select create new version.
   • To discard previous versions of a document upon update, and increment the version number, select replace current version.
5. Enter the Maximum number of previous versions to define the version limit.
6. Set up the behavior when the above limit is reached:
   • Select reject new document to make it impossible for users to save additional documents unless (1) older versions are deleted, or (2) the version limit is increased.
   • Select delete oldest version to delete the oldest version when a new document is saved.
   Tip: If you make a mistake with one or more settings, use the Reset button to return all parameters in the dialog box to their default values.
7. Click OK to save the version control options.
