Platform Support

This page provides an overview of notable issues where support is limited due to JADE platform issues (raised via Parsys or JEDI), or support hasn't been implemented within JadeGit yet.

See the project issue tracker for other issues, where you can create new issues for faults or new feature requests for JadeGit in general (whether they should be noted here or not).

Change Tracking

Schema Versioning

The following table lists issues with schema versioning during development which impacts accurate change tracking.

Issue	Problem	Workaround
PAR 67751	When an entity needs to be versioned during an update, change tracking cannot distinguish if the change is being made in current or latest schema version.	Explicitly version the schema, update entity text in latest schema version, then perform update or delete operation.
PAR 67678	When an entity is deleted from latest schema version, change tracking treats it as current schema version when latest entity version doesn't exist.	Update the entity in latest schema version first, then delete it.

Deployment

The following table lists issues which impact deployment capabilities.

Commands

The following table shows what JADE versions support new JCF commands (proposed by JEDI #457), using which deploying these kinds of changes is supported by JadeGit.

Rename Application	❌	✔	✔
Delete Library	❌	✔	✔

Multi-User Support

JadeGit currently supports development on a single-user JADE database only.

Support for multiple thin-client users connecting to a single-user application server depends on changes needed to retrieve thin-client user configuration.

Support for multiple users/nodes connecting to a database server depends on JEDI #402.
