Business Data Project Versioning

Version numbers are set on the Properties > Lifecycle dialog of the Business Data project.

The default format for a Business Data project's version number is:

major.minor

where:

  • major defines the major version number of the project.
  • minor defines the minor version number of the project. This is incremented automatically after a project has been 'locked for production' and subsequently a new draft is created.

You can only make backwards compatible changes to a BOM that has already been deployed. You cannot remove data types for example. If you want to make changes like this to a deployed BOM, you must increment the BOM's major version, re-deploy it, and then redeploy all projects that reference that BOM. This can be done from the Properties > Lifecycle dialog of the Business Data project.
