Generate Update VRC Structure (ttpmc2240s000)

Use this session to create update VRC structures.

The session generates a new VRC and modifies the current VRC derivation structure. Usually, a customer cannot change the derivation of a localization, because a localization is considered as a standard VRC. PMC requires a localization that must be derived from the update VRC of the standard.

You must confirm when the update VRC is created. After all the steps are performed either by this session or manually, Feature Packs and individual solutions can be installed.

You can start the session directly from the ERP menu. You can also start the session from the appropriate menu of the session.

Field Information

Package to Determine VRC Structure

The package determines for which standard VRC and localization VRC update VRCs are created. It is assumed that the update VRC structure is the same for all packages, but the derivation structure uses the package code.

Standard VRC

The standard VRC for which the update VRCs must be created.

By default, the root VRC is selected. To determine this VRC, the package you specified in the Package to Determine VRC Structure field is used. The session searches in the package VRCs for a version with these characteristics:

  • The fourth position of the version code is blank.
  • The release number is the highest available.
  • The customer position is blank.

Example 1: The VRCs B61_a, B61L_a1_sch0 and B61C_a1_cust are present. B61_a will be selected.

example 2: The VRCs B61_a, B61_a1, B6_a2, B61_b, B61_b1 are present. B61_b1 will be selected.

Update customer

A customer code that will be used for the update VRC.

Note: The customer fields must be different from each other.
Localizations

The localization for which the update VRCs must be created.

VRC Combination

Optionally, a VRC combination can be specified or the description can be altered when the combination exists. The created update VRCs will be connected to this VRC combination.

Note: For the LN Tools package, no update VRCs and no VRC combinations are used. Solutions for Tools are imported in the standard Tools VRC.

  • VRC Combinations (ttpmc2150m000)
Customization Type

A character that indicates the type of customization.

For example, if the customization is an update, you can specify a "U". This character is used on the fourth position of the version code: B61U.

Note: B, C, D, J, O and L are not allowed.
Create Update VRC's

If this check box is selected, update VRCs are created.

Change Derivation of other VRC's

If this check box is selected, the VRCs that are derived from the specified standard VRC and localization VRC are now derived from the update VRC.

Update Package Combinations

If this check box is selected, the effected package combinations will be updated. This means that package combinations that were on B61_a level will be changed to the update VRC, which is derived from B61_a.
