VW7.7 How to view code changes in packages?

VW7.7 uses packages only - no more parcel views. In the past parcel views can show code changes from the parcel. How do I do that now with packages without Store?

Thanks,

I'd suggest using Store.  If you use Sqlite as your database, it's pretty simple:

Thanks for helping. But, I need more help for the following instructions:
"If you're on Windows you might have to visit the website and install SQLite, but that's a simple matter of pushing a dll or two onto your system - you can set up databases on the fly. "

Which zip files do I need to download?
Where do I unzip them?
How does VW find SQLite in the system?
Do I need to register anything?

Thanks,
Aik-Siong Koh

basically
1. download the DLL (sqlitedll-3_*.zip) from www.sqlite.org
2. put the sqlite3.dll either into
    - a directory that is part of the PATH environment variable
    - or in the same directory as the image
    - or next to the VM

I covered that in the related screencast here:

There's one DLL, and the simplest thing is to just slap it into \windows\system32

Thanks. Where does the data file get stored? If I move that data file to another machine and run sqlite and VW Store, can I see everything like the on the first machine?

Thanks,

There's also no reason that a non-Store image can't display changes, and in 7.7.1 it does. That was just an oversight, and is a pretty simple fix.

Also, while I do think you might find some benefit in actually using Store, if all you want to do is be able to browse changes on packages, then you don't ever have to set up a database at all. Just load StoreForSomeRandomDatabase and the menu item will be there. If something was loaded from a parcel and not reconciled to a databse, then you see the changes against the parcel version.

It will end up in the same directory as the image.  It should move along as well as the image does; it's just a file
