VERSION Run Control Options
Jan 05, 2016Dan Iverson
I have to keep looking this up, so I’m writing it down to make it easier to find next time! There are three modes for the VERSION app engine:
- Report Mode
Evaluates the VERSION counters and reports any changes needed; does not change data. - Classic Mode
Resets all the VERSION counters to their starting value (1) - Enhanced Mode
The default mode – it will “advance VERSION counters in a preditable manner” according to Oracle Support.
The name of your run control is how you change the behavior of the VERSION app engine.
- Report Mode:
REPORTONLYxxx– The run control must start with theREPORTONLYvalue (not case-sensitive) - Classic Mode:
RESETVERSIONSxxx– The run control must start with theRESETVERSIONSvalue (not case-sensitive) - Enhanced Mode: Any value other than the two above will trigger Enhanced Mode
There is much more to running VERSION, but I’ll save that for another post.
