I'm to use Version Control and just started initializing a number of components to the Version Project that has been set up.
The documentation recommends using the 'Get Dependent Components' option, which does seem like a good idea. According to the manual it should make all used jobs, routines, tables be included in the initialization.
However, when I selected a number of Job Sequences, pressed 'Get Dependent Components' and then ran the initializer I didn't get anything more than the job sequences into the Version Project. When running initialization of the missing jobs afterwards, the relevant table definitions were included though.
Does 'Get Dependent Components' not work for Job Sequences, or have I made some other odd mistake?

You need to have been documenting dependencies on the Dependencies tab in jobs and routines. It is this information (AFAIK) that Version Control uses to identify dependencies.
However, the Dependencies grid is maintained automatically for job sequences (you should check - this is from memory), so something weird seems to be happening.

OK, I didn't realise I had to maintain the Dependencies grid myself, seems like something that definitely should be automatic - or nonexistent...
Anyway, it's not a huge problem, I just got confused since the documentation for Version Control stated that using Get Dependent Components was the 'normal' way and I assumed it would also work...

You do, except for (as you found) some aspects of Sequencer jobs. However, that being said, it isn't used by Version Control.StefL wrote:OK, I didn't realise I had to maintain the Dependencies grid myself, seems like something that definitely should be automatic - or nonexistent...
