Creating jobs
The versiondog system offers the possibility to create jobs which regularly check if the program on the device corresponds to the last checked-in version of the project and if necessary copies live data from a device to the versiondog server.

Notes on the detected differences after successful creation of a backup
-
Differences without details For the differences, for which no textual representation is offered, the project data is available in non-interpretable form.

Searching for project data
The directories in which project data reside are stored in the SCU project file. Two scenarios are possible: 1. Parts of the project data are outside the processing directory. There is a warning that the parts of the project cannot be compared. This project data is then not part of a version. 2. Parts of the project data are within the processing directory, but they are however relative to the project file SCU. There is a warning that the parts of the project cannot be compared.
Example for scenario 1:
Processing directory:.. Prjworking directory
Project file:..Localexample.scu(relative to the working directory
Local:.. Prjworking directoryLocal(path in project file)
Main recipes on drive C:..dynamicsRCM(path in project file)
Note
The files resident inC:dynamicsRCMare neither compared nor versioned.
Example for scenario 2:
Processing directory:.. Prjworking directory
Project file:..Localexample.scu(relative to working directory)
Local:.. Prjworking directoryLocal(path specified in project file)
Note
Nothing but the project file will be found because the actual relative location of the project file does not match the location in the project file.
Note
The project data will always be versioned.
