3 Right-click the object and then click Version History.
4 On the Version History dialog, click CheckOut Status.
ER/Studio queries the Repository for the latest status.
The following describes the fields of the dialog that require additional explanation:
User Name: The Repository login ID of the user who has the object checked out.
Machine Name: The name of the computer, as defined in the Windows System Properties, that was used when
the object was checked out.
Viewing the Checkin History of a Repository Object
Using the Version History feature, you can view the checkin details to see who has been working on the object or
determine which version you need, in the case where you need to rollback to a previous version.
NOTE: Each time you check in an object, ER/Studio increments the version number by 1. When you
check out an individual object such as a domain, macro or data movement rule, modify it, and then
check it in, the version number for just that object is incremented; if its parent objects were not
checked out or not checked in at the same time, their version numbers are not incremented.
However, when you check out an attribute, the entity that contains the attribute is also checked
out along with all other attributes contained by that entity. So, when you check in the changes to
an attribute, the version numbers for the changed attribute, the unchanged attributes, and the
entity are incremented.

investigate.
3 Right-click the object and then click Version History.
4 In the Repository Version History dialog, click a version entry and then click the Details button
This displays the recorded version details, including the comments entered when the object was checked in.
