Version Control

[Datron]

Hello,

I am new to EA and am experimenting with the version control. It works like it should but I still have a question.
Even if I put the root package "Model" under version control there remains a project file with the extension .eap of about 2 MB. I asume that the project file contains useful information, so should I put it under version control too?
Thanks for your comments.

Regards
Chris

Simply this is the (MS Access) database where EA is doing the SQL stuff (which is not really feasible with XML).

That means that if I lose the eap file I'm not able to restore the complete project from the xml file. Hence I have to check in the eap file too... right?

Version control in EA is only for packages.

Other data (reference data) are not version controlled. You can export them and version control on your own.

I think if you export every package and all reference data still something remains and that's the project (I don't know).

Thanks for your help!
