5.15.2.1.3. Assignment / release – Overview on the best approaches

At first get an overview if there are changes in the update catalog at all and if yes, how many and of what kind.

Furthermore it is relevant, how far the LinkDB datasets can be automatically assigned (mapped) in a mapping process despite possible changes.

[Note] Note

Mapping is not the same as definite release. This happens manually, explicitly for project lines, projects or whole directories.

If the automatic mapping process could be successfully performed, the release can be performed after a simple check.

If the automatic mapping process war not successful, the affected projects must be assigned to LinkDB datasets by using search functionality.

The following information sources are available to determine the most effective approach.

  • Before update installation

    • Check

      Under PARTadmin -> category Catalog update -> Offline -> Check -> tabbed page Status you will get a list of all projects with information on changes.

    • Compare

      Under PARTadmin -> category Catalog update -> Offline -> Compare you will see a Catalog comparison with directory structure and table. Changes of directory structure and name changes can be seen in the comparison at once.

    On this see Section 5.15.2.1.4, “ PARTadmin - Check | Compare | Install”.

  • During update installation

    • Installation

      Under PARTadmin -> category Catalog update -> Offline -> Installation you will get an overview in form of a list for how many and for which projects an automatic mapping could be performed.

    [Note] Note

    The mapping information is to be understood as a proposal and is not yet a release!

    With the help of the mapping information it becomes clear, which projects can be assigned to the LinkDB datasets in which way best.

    On this see Section 5.15.2.1.4, “ PARTadmin - Check | Compare | Install”.

  • After update installation

    After the update installation you can find further helpful information in the PARTlinkManager with the help of the values from columns ACTIVE_STATE and REQUESTED_STATE.

    On this see Section 5.15.2.1.5, “ PARTlinkManager - Important notes on procedure”.
