Connect Components to PMC Solution (ttpmc1221m000)

Use this session to connect software components present in the export VRC to a PMC solution.

The session contains these tabs:

Environment: specify the PMC solution to which the software components must be connected, and the options you want to use.
Component Selection: specify the component types and the component code ranges.

Solution Code

Specify an existing solution code or zoom to the Solutions (ttpmc1100m000) session to select a solution. The code identifies the solution to which the components are connected.

Note:

If the following conditions are met, the last character of the solution code must be numeric, for example, SOL003.

In the Max. Number of Components field, a maximum number of components is specified.
In the What to do when Max. Number is Exceeded field, the option Next Solution Number is selected.

Options

Max. Number of Components

Specify the maximum number of components that can be connected to the solution.

This option is available because a large number of components can cause problems at the recipient side. In that case, the components must be distributed over several solutions.

Note: If the specified number is zero, no limitation applies.

What to do when Max. Number is Exceeded

Specify how the process must proceed if the maximum number of components specified in the Max. Number of Components field is exceeded for the current solution.

Various choices of what to do if the maximum number of components is exceeded

The following values specify how the process of linking components to a solution is continued if the specified maximum number of components is exceeded.

Cancel
The process is canceled, and no components are linked at all.
Stop
The process is stopped. A number of components equal to the specified maximum number is linked to the solution, but the remaining components are ignored.
Specify Other Solution

The process pauses, and you are prompted to specify another solution number for the remaining components. If the maximum number is exceeded again, you are prompted again, and so on, until all components are processed. If you specify no other solution number, the process stops, and the remaining components are ignored.

Note:

You must specify an existing solution number, or create a solution the moment you are prompted to specify the solution number.
Next Solution Number

The process itself selects another solution. This process is repeated if the maximum number is reached again, until all components are processed.

Notes:
- You can only use this option if the last character of the initial solution code is a numeric character.
- Solutions that are already released are skipped.
- Solutions that already contain the specified maximum number of components are skipped.
- The process creates a new solution if the next number does not identify an existing solution.
- If the next number does not exist because the range is full, the process stops, and the remaining components are ignored. For example, after SOL999, no new solution can be created.
- Use this option only if you are sure that the initial solution number is not followed by solution numbers of solutions that are used for other purposes.

Language-dependent Components only

If this check box is selected, only language-dependent components are linked to the solution.

As a result, these language-independent components are excluded :

Scripts
Objects
Functions
Non-enumerated domains
Additional files
Subscription templates

This option is particularly useful for solutions that serve translation purposes.

Selection of components

The user can select one of these choices:

Non-expired components
Expired components
Non-expired and expired components

Basic Selection

Package: package
Language: A code that identifies the language.

Source

Export VRC

If this check box is selected, the components that are present in the export VRC of the specified base VRC are all linked to the solution.

Use the options on the Selection tab to select or exclude component types and ranges.

Other Solution

If this check box is selected, you can specify a solution whose component list will be used to link components to your current solution.

Use the options on the Selection tab to select or exclude component types and ranges.

This option is helpful if you want to deliver a solution whose components are (almost) the same as that of another solution.

Base VRC

base VRC

Solution

The solution number of the solution whose component list you want to use for your current solution.

Specify a solution code or zoom to the Solutions (ttpmc1100m000) session to select a solution.

Patch

If this check box is selected, you can specify a patch whose component list will be used to link components to your current solution.

Use the options on the Selection tab to select or exclude component types and ranges.

This option is helpful if you want to deliver a solution whose components are (nearly) the same as that of a patch, for example, software translations.

Base VRC

base VRC

Patch

The patch number of the patch whose component list you want to use for your current solution.

Specify a patch code or zoom to the Patches (ttpmc1501m000) session to select a patch.

Sequential File

If this check box is selected, you can specify a sequential file name whose records specify the components that will be linked to the solution.

Use the options on the Selection tab to select or exclude component types and ranges.

The records in the file must have this format:

<comp.type>|<package>|<comp.code>|<languages>

comp.type must be a numeric value, as specified in this table:


comp.type	description
1	Message
2	Question
3	Session
4	Domain
5	Table Definition
6	Menu
7	Form
8	Script/Library Source
9	Script/Library Object
10	Report (source+object)
11	Label
13	Function Source
14	Business Object
16	Chart
17	Integrated Session
18	Additional File
19	Subscription Template
