Creating an Alternate Harvard Series

Specialized Administration > Tailoring Business Objects > Object Initialization Rules Administration > Working with Object Initialization Rules > Object Numbering and Versioning > Versioning Scheme Properties > Creating an Alternate Harvard Series

To specify an alternate Harvard series, edit the wt.properties file using the xconfmanager Utility, adding entries for the series delimiter, depth, and levels, as described in the preceding section. You must also assign the series a name, as shown in the following example definition of an alternate series:

wt.series.HarvardSeries.seriesNames=MyHarvardSeries
wt.series.HarvardSeries.MyHarvardSeries.delimiter=.
wt.series.HarvardSeries.MyHarvardSeries.depth=16
wt.series.HarvardSeries.MyHarvardSeries.level.1=wt.series.MulticharacterSeries
wt.series.HarvardSeries.MyHarvardSeries.level.2=wt.series.IntegerSeries

In this example, the series levels alternate between a multicharacter series and an integer series. This Harvard series would result in version numbers such as A.1.A.1.

To use MyHarvardSeries as the versioning scheme for WTPart, use the following rule:

<AttributeValues objType="wt.part.WTPart">

<AttrValue id="MBA|versionInfo"
algorithm="com.ptc.core.foundation.vc.server.impl.VersionInfoGenerator">
<Arg>wt.series.HarvardSeries.MyHarvardSeries</Arg>
</AttrValue>
</AttributeValues>
