Start modeling in a Branch
To start modeling in a Branch, access the Branch overview page of a Project:
Hover over a Local Branch:
- If it is one of your Branches, the button Start Modeling appears:
- If it is a Branch from another User, the button View appears:
Click on the Start Modeling or View button.
In a View mode, you can only generate and download the artifacts. All the other actons are disabled and in view only.
Depending on your Project content:
- If your Project doesn't contain any Data Connections (Source System or Linked Project), the Data Connections overview will be displayed
- If your Project contains at least one Data Connection (Source System or Linked project), the Dataflow Modeling overview will be displayed
If your project is configured with an obsolete version of the Generator Configuration, a pop-up will invite you to do the upgrade immediately:
You can only continue to model in your Branch if you do the mandatory update.
The pop-up displays the change log of all the versions between your current version and the last available one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ability to switch the version of a Generator with a single click is only temporary. Each version change might involve alterations in the Generator Configuration, which could conflict with your existing modeling or property values.
Soon, a wizard will be introduced to facilitate the detection of changes in the Generator Configuration. It will list any problems that need resolution and guide you through the migration process to the new version.
If your Project Repository is not valid, the following pop-up will be displayed:
In this example, the Generator Configuration version doesn't exist.
You can correct your Repository directly in your Git Repository and then reopen the Branch.
