<h1>Version mapping</h1>
<p><a id="sthref152" name="sthref152"></a><a id="sthref153" name="sthref153"></a><a id="sthref154" name="sthref154"></a><a id="sthref155" name="sthref155"></a>Use a <span class="bold">Version Mapping</span> to specify the field used for optimistic locking. If the entity is associated with multiple tables, you should use a version mapping only with the primary table. You should have only a single version mapping per persistent entity. Version mappings may be used only with the following attribute types:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>int</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>Integer</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>short, Short</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>long, Long</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>Timestamp</code></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To create a version mapping:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>In the <a href="ref_persistence_outline.htm#BABEGGFE">JPA Structure view</a>, select the field to map.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Right-click the field and then select <span class="bold">Map As &gt; Version</span>. The <a href="ref_persistence_map_view.htm#BABIFBAF">JPA Details view (for attributes)</a> displays the properties for the selected.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use this table to complete the remaining fields in the JPA Details view.</p>
