Set a Named Release
Saves the latest version of a diagram as a Named Release, with the specified name. This version of the diagram can
later be retrieved from the Repository for viewing or editing.
1 Login to the Repository.
2 Open the diagram that you want to set as a named release and then check it in to the Repository.
3 Click Repository > Releases > Set Named Release.
ER/Studio adds the Named Release under the respective diagram. Named releases are indicated by a camera
icon in the Explorer tree.
Notes
• When setting a Named Release, it is important to remember that uniqueness is enforced through the naming
convention. You can determine a naming convention when setting a Named Release. If you want to associate the
Diagram’s file name with the Named Release, then you must enter the Diagram’s file name as part of the name of
the release.
• You can view a Named Release, but you cannot modify it. A special Repository operation, Rollback Diagram, lets
you Check In a Named Release as the latest version of a diagram. Once the Rollback operation is completed,
you can Check Out the diagram (or a portion of it) to modify it.
• When naming the Named Release, the name must be unique. We recommend using a naming convention that
includes the name of the diagram in the release. The uniqueness is enforced at the Repository level, not the
diagram level.
Get a Named Release or a Diagram
Using ER/Studio Repository, you can download named releases and diagrams from the Repository to a specified
directory on the local machine. The Get From Repository operation lets you download diagrams, submodels, and
named releases from the Repository. The Get From Repository dialog displays all diagrams and projects in the
Repository and lets you expand each diagram node to show its submodels and named releases.
1 To get a named release, select Repository > Releases > Get Named Release.
To get a diagram, select Repository > Releases > Get Diagram.
2 Complete the Get From Repository dialog as required.
The following describes options that are not self explanatory:
• Repository tree: Displays nodes for each Diagram in the Repository. Click the plus sign next to a node to
expand and show all submodels and named releases. You can select individual objects to get from the
Repository.
• General Information: Displays information about the repository, and the model or submodel selected.
Information displayed includes Repository Version, Number of Models, Number of Nested Projects, and Users
with checked out objects.
• Check Out Immediately: Available for submodels only. Immediately Checks Out to the local machine the items
selected in the tree.
• Check Out Exclusively: Available for submodels only. If you have chosen Check Out Immediately, you can
choose this option to immediately Check Out Exclusively to the local machine the items selected in the tree.
Notes
• You can make changes to objects you get, but changes do not reflect in the repository copy of the dm1 file until
you check out and then check in the changes.
