Components by Patch Code (ttiex4110m000)

Use this session to define the components for a patch.

A patch is a collection of components, such as domains, sessions, forms, reports and labels.

Before you can link components to a patch, you must define a patch code in the Patch Codes (ttiex4100m000) session.

To link software components to a patch:

  • click New to add the desired components one by one, or
  • select Copy Software Components from DD on the Specific menu to add a range of components.

When you have defined all the components that belong to a patch, select Create Patch on the appropriate menu to generate the patch file. The following components are stored in the path that you specified in the Patch Codes (ttiex4100m000) session:

  • a patch file. This is a compressed file that contains the patch's components. The recipient of the patch must import this file through the Import Patch (ttiex1284m000) session. The name of the patch file is identical to the patch code. However, the file name is in lower case, while patch codes are always in upper case.
  • A content list that contains the names of the exported components. The name of this file is "<patch file name>.content".
