After editing and testing a schema, you must check it in. When
you check in a schema, the new version is saved in the schema repository.
Checking in a schema does not affect existing user databases.
To put your changes into effect, you must apply the new version of the schema
to the user databases. See Upgrading
a user database.
To check in a schema:
- Start the Designer.
- Click . The Designer validates the schema,
and errors are displayed in the Validation pane at the bottom of the Designer
window.
- Review the validation results.
If
there are validation errors, you must correct them. You cannot check in a
schema that contains validation errors.
- When the schema is validated, the Check In window with your original
checkout Comments is displayed. Edit the comments (optional), and click OK.
A history of each schema version is saved, so you can
view a previous version and use it in a new database.
