| | Packages by Patch Header (ttpmc1107m000) Base VRC A means in PMC to identify products in a unique way. Updates at
the distributor side are provided with the base VRC identifier. A base VRC can
contain the code of the physical VRC in which the related master product is
installed, for example, B61_a, but can also be a code not related to a physical
VRC, for example, 7.6_a_tt. At the recipient side, every update VRC is linked
to a base VRC identifier. The installation process checks if the base VRC
identifier of the update matches with the base VRC identifier of the update
VRC. If not, you cannot install the update in that update VRC. Derived From Base VRC Using this field, you can define relationships between the base
VRC of a derived product and the related parent
product. You use this relationship if you create and derive update VRCs at a
recipient during installation of a Feature Pack. You must always define the
relationship to the base VRC of the Feature Pack on which the Feature Pack of
the derived product is built. Example: The following products are available: - Standard product PARENT with package p1, p2, and
p3
- Derived product LOC1, which is derived from PARENT.
Packages p1 and p2 are changed. Note that package p3 is not changed for LOC1. A
new package, p4, was introduced for LOC1.
- Derived product LOC2, which is derived from LOC1. Packages
p1, p2, p3, and p4 are changed. Note that package p3 is changed for
LOC2.
Two Feature Packs are available. In this scenario, you must
populate the Derived From Base VRC as follows: | Product | Feature
Pack | Package | Base VRC | Derived From Base
VRC |
|---|
| PARENT | 1 | p1 | B61_a1 | | | PARENT | 1 | p2 | B61_a1 | | | PARENT | 1 | p3 | B61_a1 | | | PARENT | 2 | p1 | B61_a2 | | | PARENT | 2 | p2 | B61_a2 | | | PARENT | 2 | p3 | B61_a2 | | | LOC1 | 1 | p1 | B61L_a1_loc1 | B61_a1 | | LOC1 | 1 | p2 | B61L_a1_loc1 | B61_a1 | | LOC1 | 1 | p4 | B61L_a1_loc1 | | | LOC1 | 2 | p1 | B61L_a2_loc1 | B61_a2 | | LOC1 | 2 | p2 | B61L_a2_loc1 | B61_a2 | | LOC1 | 2 | p4 | B61L_a2_loc1 | | | LOC2 | 1 | p1 | B61L_a1_loc2 | B61L_a1_loc1 | | LOC2 | 1 | p2 | B61L_a1_loc2 | B61L_a1_loc1 | | LOC2 | 1 | p3 | B61L_a1_loc2 | B61_a1 | | LOC2 | 1 | p4 | B61L_a1_loc2 | B61L_a1_loc1 | | LOC2 | 2 | p1 | B61L_a2_loc2 | B61L_a2_loc1 | | LOC2 | 2 | p2 | B61L_a2_loc2 | B61L_a2_loc1 | | LOC2 | 2 | p3 | B61L_a2_loc2 | B61_a2 | | LOC2 | 2 | p4 | B61L_a2_loc2 | B61L_a2_loc1 |
