Commit to GeneXus Server

This documentation is valid for:
GeneXus Next Help

The Commit to Server operation is executed to update a Knowledge Base hosted in a GeneXus Server instance.

Once a set of changes is completed, you must publish them. Publishing changes is called Commit and requires the GeneXus Server to be active and accessible to you.

Step by step

To perform a Commit operation you must follow the steps below:

1) Select the Knowledge Manager >Team Development menu option to open the Team Development dialog and choose the Commit tab.

2) Press the Reload button to load the set of objects that have been changed locally since the last Commit operation.

3) You can select/deselect the objects to Commit.

4) You must type a Comment detailing what these changes mean (explaining the changes to another Developer). As a rule of thumb, write a simple, one-line sentence that briefly explains the Commit and then write a few more sentences providing greater detail.

5) Click the Commit button to finish. All the changes will be packaged and sent to the GeneXus Server and the Knowledge Base will be updated. Use the Team Development output section (Output window) to verify that the Commit operation was successful.

Note:

Knowledge Base Environment and Version properties can also be included in the Commit operation.
Filters can be applied using the Filter option:

Contextual menu options in the Commit tab

Add to ignored objects option

Using the Add to ‘ignored objects’ option from the contextual menu, you will be able to ignore objects so that they are not sent. These will be included in the list in the Ignored Objects section and left there until they are (explicitly) recovered in a future Commit operation.

Open Local Revision option

From the contextual menu, you can select the Open Local Revision option to open the local version of the selected object in the Knowledge Base.

This option lets you inspect or edit the object directly from the Commit tab before sending your changes to GeneXus Server.
