Setting Up a File-based or State-based Versioning Scheme
To set up a file-based or state-based versioning scheme:
1. Create the XML file containing the series name and the version identifier values for each file revision.
2. Load the XML file into the database.
3. Set the versioning for an object type to the versioning you have set up.
