Purge Entire Package VRC (ttadv6255m000)

Use this session to purge a package VRC that is not used anymore by changing its status to expired. It is only possible to purge a package VRC if only one Package VRC is derived from it. Unchanged software components are copied to the package VRC derived from the one which is being purged, then all the software components are deleted from the PVRC which is being purged.

You can purge a package VRC for the following reasons:

  • to reduce the disk space that is used.
  • to speed up searching for software components of previous package VRCs.
  • The maximum depth of the package VRC tree is 40. Purging a package VRC reduces the depth of the package VRC tree, which makes it possible to add a new package VRC to the tree.

Package
A set of related modules that implements a complete part of the functionality, for example, Unternehmensplanung, Finanzwesen, or Lagerwirtschaft. Packages are designed to function as independent as possible, to enable a customer to implement only particular packages.

A package code consists of two characters. For example, tt is the code of the Tools package.

Each package has a unique version structure, the VRC structure.

Version
An upgrade of a package, for example, B61. Each change in the functionality of a package results in a new version. A version can contain several releases.
Release
An update in a version. For example, 'B61 a', where 'B61' represents the version code, and the 'a' represents the release code. Each update results in a new release with a new release code.
Customer
A code that identifies a customized software package. For example, B61O_a_cus1, where 'B61O' represents the version, 'a' represents the release, and 'cus1' represents the customer extension of the customized software.
