Local A local pack is a record in the the VCS Local Pack (sys_vcs_local_pack) table compiling relevant , that contains a specific set of records from the VCS Record (sys_vcs_record) table. It allows associating Use it to associate VCS records with a particular pack and exporting specific pack according to the type of changes they refer to, and export them as a complete configuration set.Local packs allow developing application configurations on When exporting local packs, you can move the development of the application configurations to a separate instance, exporting it . To do so, export them as a . SOP file , and implementing it deploy the changes to another instance.

See the Configuration PacksPackages article to learn more.

For The exported configuration pack export, the following elements are usedincludes:

• Local Pack – compiles all relevant VCS records so that they are linked as a complete set. Then these related to a specific set of changes. These records can be implemented as one configuration pack in another instance. In other words, a local pack collects contains references to the records that will should be changed, inserted, or deleted on in the target instance.
• VCS Record – contains the version of a record version.
• .SOP file – a physical file in the . SOP format. It contains all record versions from versions from the completed local pack. ImplementTransfer and implement it on in any other SimpleOne instance.

Assemble a local pack

Local A local pack configuration and export includes include the following important stages:

1. Create of a new local pack to store some specific VCS records.
2. Collect Configuring VCS records in a local pack:
   • (optional) restore records 
   • restoring records (optional) move records to another pack moving records
3. (optional) Merging Merge several local packs (optional).
4. Exporting Export a . SOP file.

Team

development

In SimpleOne, you can export separate local packs and upload them one by one. Another option is to work as a team on one task. For thisTo do so, developers should do their part of work in separate local packs and then combine the results into team's final pack. You can see the process in the scheme below:

merge them into the final local pack. The following diagram describes the process:

To Briefly, in order to facilitate the team development process, you need to perform do the following steps:

1. Every Each team member creates a separate local pack and works within it collecting necessary in it, collecting versions of the VCS records. The results of work on a specific task should go into a separate local packspack.
2. When assembling is overall the developers who work on the same task complete their local packs, these local packs must be merged into the final one.

To create a local pack, complete the steps below:

1. Navigate to Configuration → Local Packs.
2. Click New and fill in the fields.
3. There are two ways to apply the changes and continue assembling a local pack:
   • Click Save. Then click Set current to switch the local pack in the Admin Preferences menu and start working on it.
   • Click Set current and Save to switch the local pack in the Admin Preferences menu, apply the changes and start working on it.

Manage VCS records

Configure the set of record versions in the VCS Records related list to build manage the local pack content. Restore and move records to collect only those the ones you need.

Restore a VCS record

If you need to To restore one of the previous record versions , you need to and make it actual by clicking current, click Restore Version. Actual records are marked with the Is current checkbox selected. Thus, restoring is available only to Restoring is only available for the VCS records with the cleared Is Current checkbox.

To restore a record version, complete the steps below:

1. Open the record you need.
2. Scroll down to the Related Lists area and open the VCS Records In the Related Lists area, select the VCS Records tab.
3. Open the record version you need to restore.
4. Click Restore Versionversion.

After that, a new VCS record is created in the current local pack.

Remove a VCS record

VCS records cannot be deleted; thereforeThe SimpleOne platform is designed in such a way that no record can be removed from the system. When you click Move to Default, they are moved to the default local pack. If one of your local pack packs contains a VCS record that is was created accidentally or belongs to another configuration pack, you can remove it from this local pack.

To move a VCS record, perform do the following steps:

1. Navigate to Configuration → Local Packs.
2. Open the local pack containing the VCS record you need to move.
3. Scroll down to the Related Lists area and open the VCS Record tabIn the Related Lists area, select the VCS Records tab.
4. Select a record or records to be moved using the checkboxes and click Move to Default.
5. These records will be moved to the default local pack of the same corresponding application.

As a result:

• All selected record versions are moved to the default pack.
• All record versions with the same Record IDas the selected ones are moved to the default pack, too. That is, all previous and current versions of the same record are moved.

const table = new SimpleRecord('sys_db_table');
table.addQuery('is_vcs_enabled', true);
table.addQuery('sys_id', '!=', '999999999999999998'); // exclude REM
table.selectAttributes('name');
table.query();
while (table.next()) {
  const vcs = new SimpleVcs();
  const versionCount = vcs.createTableSnapshot(table.name);
  if (versionCount > 0) {
    ss.info(`${table.name.padStart(80, " ")}: ${versionCount} versions created`);
  }
}
