LN Software Maintenance

To help you manage software updates to your LN system, Infor offers the Product Maintenance and Control (PMC) Tool. An efficient, highly effective tool for managing functional software updates (Feature Packs) and other software updates (Individual Solutions).

The PMC module manages the installation of Feature Packs and Individual Solutions. The PMC module is delivered to all customers as part of the master CD-ROM of LN. The PMC module is used to check software updates for completeness and customization interference.

The PMC module contains two sub-modules.

PMC Benefits

The PMC module is a tool that enables you to install, configure, and run new software. The PMC module simultaneously addresses a wide range of software update challenges, including:

  • Automatic checks for updates for any previous dependencies
  • Analysis of potential conflicts with system customizations at installation time. This enables the user to identify any conflicting customizations, to ensure that these exist on the system on which you install the update.
  • Option to maintain copies of all previous software components. This feature enables the user to roll back updates to any point in history.
  • Overview of all Feature Packs and Individual Solutions, that are installed.
Note: A customization component does not have a ‘maintenance date’ in its object. Therefore, if you deliver customization components to a customer, whose maintenance license has expired, the customer can still deploy the components.
