| | Generate Dependencies (ttpmc1240s000)Use this session to generate the dependency
relations between solutions that must be installed together at a customer
system. These dependency relations are generated: - Prerequisite relations.
- Co-requisite relations to the same
solutions in other base VRCs, if these solutions have one or more components
in common.
Conditions for co-requisites: - Base VRCs must belong to the same base VRC
combination.
- Solution numbers must be identical.
These dependency relations cannot be generated, but must be
specified manually: - Co-requisite relations to solutions in the same base
VRC
- Post-requisite relations
To start this session, you can click Generate Dependencies on the Zusatzoptionen menu of the Dependencies (ttpmc1140m000) session, which in turn you must start from the Zusatzoptionen menu of the Solutions (ttpmc1100m000) session. 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. Solution Code A unique identification of the solution in a base VRC. Status The following statuses describe the progress of the maintenance
of solutions, Collections, and patches. To keep the descriptions readable, only
solutions are described. However, in each case, collections and patches are
intended as well, unless explicitly excepted. The status of the solution is only used at the distributor
side. A history of status changes is recorded in the Maintenance History table. To distinguish maintained solutions at the distributor side
from imported solutions at the recipient side, the status is cleared when the
solution is imported. This also applies to patches, but not to collections. The
reason is that a collection is not known as such at the recipient side. Only
the solutions contained in the collection are known at the recipient
side. In progress The initial status of the solution upon creation. Dependencies defined The dependencies between the various solutions are defined,
and the solution is ready to be exported. You must select this status manually,
because you might want to create dependencies that cannot be created
automatically. Exported The solution is exported. The system handles this status. You
cannot set the status manually. However, you can set a solution with the status
Exported back to In Progress, Solved, Completed, or Dependencies Defined. If
you change anything in an exported solution, the status is always set back to
Dependencies Defined, and you must export the solution again. Before you can
release a solution, the status must be Exported. Released The solution is released, which means that the solution is
frozen. You can no longer change anything in the solution. To release a
solution, you must change the status from Exported to Released, and you must
save the solution with this status.
Delete Also Manually Entered If this check box is selected, the dependencies you
might have specified manually are deleted when you regenerate the
dependencies. Regenerate Dependencies If this check box is selected, all existing dependency
relations are deleted, and the relations are regenerated. | |
