External VC provider necessary?
« on: April 15, 2013, 10:59:33 pm »
Hi,

I would like to know if an external version control provider (such as TFS or SourceSafe) is necessary for using version control in EA?

We work with EAP files instead of an RDBMS.

Yes. You need an external system like SubVersion, ClearCase or the like. (You wouldn't use SourceSafe, would you?)

Depending on your needs, yes,

SImple "version control" can be handled with EA's integrated "Baselining and auditing".

Stefan,

what do you mean by "simple"? My need is to use version control to:

- prevent users from making unauthorized a/o unreviewed changes to models
- keep track of changes made to models (history)
- have the ability to compare different versions of a model
- if necessary, revert to a previous version of a model
