Write Revision history to file being checked in

Post by jlezon » Thu Oct 21, 2010 8:32 am

I am looking for documentation on our Fortress options to write revision history information to the file that we are currently checking in. When we check in a SQL script and using a template created by a former employee Fortress writes the following information to that file. I can't seem to find any documentation on what fields can be written to the file or what other powerful things we are able to do with Fortress in this regard. Can someone point me in the right direction?

The template looks like this:
/****************************
$Author: $
$Date: $
$Revision: $
$History: $
****************************/

Then when the file has been checked in Fortress populates the information for each revision:
****************** Version 1 ******************
User: UserName Date: 2010-06-01 Time: 11:32:19+02:00
Updated in: /DirectoryName/DirectoryName
Changed this changed that.

What you want to look up is Keyword Expansion. That can be found in the Fortress administrator manual, http://download.sourcegear.com/misc/for ... shelp.html, in section 6 (third to last topic).
