  2. Why Do Customers Need Version Identifier • The main use case for the version identifier is for auditing purpose. • Customers would like be able to record and compare different version of files that is contained with in a configuration. • Currently, customers were using UUID to identifier individual files. • UUID is long, hard to read and easy to make mistakes. • The version identifier must be unique (across all repositories for distributed SCM customers). • The new version identifier should be human friendly and should provide some “meanings” for relationships between two versions. • To see all version id user stories, please run the query “Version Identifier User Stories” in jazzdev database under version id team area or visit the web-site: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/SCMVersionIdentifierUserRequirements

  3. Which version scheme shall we use Parallel branch version schemes Drawbacks It is difficult to maintain meaningful parallel branch information with discard and other operations in RTC. The version ID string can get pretty long.

  4. Which version scheme shall we use Sequential version schemes Source: Design Manager File versions are assigned the next sequential integer, no matter the provenance Any change to a branch is shown as an increment, even if it is a rollback Benefits: Extremely simple, no long version IDs Drawbacks Branching structure and sequence is not apparent from the version ID.

  5. Challenges for distributed SCM How to keep version id unique in distributed SCM? If a versioned object is replicated to a remote repository and people are making change in both repositories, how do we keep the version identifier unique? In order to solve this problem, we decide to add repository id to the version identifier. Here is how the version id would look like 1/_vQM5gXckEeOZP-FlpfvC5w New terminology Version Number: the sequential number that represents the sequence of the objects created in a repository Version Identifier: the unique string (version number + repo id) for each version object across all repositories. Future work We may provide a user friendly name for each repository in the future to make the full version identifier string more user frientdly.
