Activating version control

[christianlebe]

Hi guys,

Our company has just used alfresco for couple months now. We slowly familiriaze the functionalities.
One thing I notice that Alfresco should have a version controlling feature.
Is there anyway we could activate it? It seems that it doesnt work by default. I couldnt find any proper documentation on this.
Anyone could help?


Regards,
Christian

Thank you for your reply, zaizi..

I have modified contentModel.xml, following the same steps directed by the url above.
However, I got the following error message when I tried to view the Versions History.

I'm using Alfresco 3B on Windows Server 2003, MySQL 5.0.51b

[christianlebe]

hello..

does anyone having the same issue?

[janv]

Yes, this is a known issue with Labs 3b (when using using JDK 6). You will need to upgrade to Labs 3c or Labs 3d (Stable) if using JDK 6. Alternatively, if you wish to continue using Labs 3b then you can try downgrading from JDK 6 to JDK 5.
