UML Designer User's Guide


Configuration management and version control

UML Designer design artifacts such as actors, use cases, and diagrams are stored in the VisualAge repository, which provides versioning and management capabilities. You can use the normal VisualAge (ENVY) team programming capabilities for library management tasks such as importing, exporting, and replication.

As with Smalltalk code, the library maintains a fine-grained edition history of individual elements, allowing recovery of previous versions and configurations, as well as identification of differences between editions. Version reconciliation is similar to that used for Smalltalk code; however, UML Designer provides two new browsers that are specifically designed to help with managing editions of your models.

This section describes the special considerations that apply to team development using UML Designer.
