Data type of a file checked-in/delivered


Katsuhiko Masuda (61) | asked Apr 03 '09, 9:05 a.m.
I've heard that RTC stores a checked-in/delivered file into Derby/DB2 database.
What data type is used to store file contents? BLOB?

Another inquiry related to the above is
When I have a file encoded in EBCDIC on z/OS USS, what RTC configuration is proper and what steps could I follow to store the file into RTC repository?

Regards.

For now, the Jazz server does store files in BLOB columns. Some slight
variations might exist on certain DB vendors, but we use whatever
datatype lets us store large collections of bytes.

In the Eclipse client, a file can be marked as being encoded in whatever
encodings are supported by your Java VM. If you mark your file as
EBCIDC in the file properties then the SCM code should saved the file in
that encoding.

Thanks, and let me have another question.

When I checked-in/delivered a file, and then check-in/deliver a change for the file, how does the server hold them in a repository? The server has the both of the original file and the modified file? Or has the original file and the differences? Or probably in more advanced way?

Regards,
