Getting started
The Locations folder contains a list of places that are managed by Deltanji. Click on one to learn more about that location. Subfolders offer three types of view of a location's contents. The Objects view shows logical code entities controlled by Deltanji in the location. The Change Requests view shows change requests for which at least one member object is present in the location. A Components view shows the code that is in the location. Some Component views may show only certain types of component, for example BIN.* for binary files.
Yellow location folders typically correspond to places where code can be executed, viewed and perhaps edited. Blue locations are usually views of the Deltanji repository in which multiple versions of code are stored, though many blue locations only show a single version at any one time. White locations cannot store code components but may be used by your workflow, for example to track the status of objects.
Deltanji only controls code that has been registered. After adding a new yellow location to your Deltanji configuration you will normally want to register the code components that the new location gives you access to.
Your Deltanji workflow configuration dictates how code can transfer between locations. Checking out and checking in are types of transfer. To transfer some code, select the components, objects or change requests from under the location you want to get them from. Then drag them to the location you want to transfer them to. Alternatively, right-click on your selection and use the Transfer option on the context menu.
In the folder tree the top-level Objects folder allows you to explore objects regardless of where they are located. The top-level Change Requests folder allows location-independent exploration of change requests.
A Deltanji system manager uses the Setup folder to define which locations are managed by Deltanji, plus the routes that determine how, when and by whom code can be transferred between locations.
Comparing code versions
To compare two versions of code Deltanji uses a diff tool called Beyond Compare. Read this article for instructions.
