Changing Intralink Revision scheme

[bobmann]

Years ago, my company set up Intralink to have the following sequence: -, A, B, C, etc. In other words, the initial revision for any object is '-'.


Now we have decided to get rid of '-' and start with 'A'. But all the Help files I see say that a revision step cannot be removed if any objects are at that step. Since '-' is our initial step, we have thousands of items at Rev -.


So okay, we can't get rid of Rev -. Any items that currently exist are stuck at '-', and we're fine with that. But would it be possible to set Intralink so that any new object from now on are created at Rev A by default, while leaving old objects at Rev - ?


(Currently using Pro/I 3.4, M062).


Thanks...

Hi there


When I saw your message I had a hunch the "mass-change" from "-" to "A" could be done with SQL - and just tested on a backup server... seems to work OK. One thing is, it doesn't update workspaces...


I'll forward you the sql script via pm, please try on a test server first and use with caution.
