Version Workbench is a complete alternative to OMW for working with versions. The only restriction is that the new project status (set up in P98230 – Object Management Constants) must match the development status of your login environment. Once this is met, you can create a new OMW project in Version Workbench by selecting your default project when you choose either the Project Maintenance or Version Maintenance row exits from the OMW Projects tab on the Version Workbench main screen.
The Configuration form exit on the OMW Projects tab opens the Development Configuration screen, where you can specify the project statuses and user roles applicable for development for the specified path codes:
OMW Development configuration
Form Exit Defaults on this screen load the out-of-the-box values shown above. Any custom-defined status and/or path code in addition to those displayed (for example, an ACC900 environment with development status 34) should be added or updated in the grid. Changes (for example, development status 100 instead of 21 for DV812) should also be made in the grid. Verifying and setting the correct values for the Development Configuration is part of the Version Workbench installation process.
