Release master model version no. 2

As a master owner, you change and release the master model version number 2.

Warning

The following procedure will create a new version of your model. If you selected the Latest change list publication setting for your database, this version will be published immediately. If your organization requires new content to be approved before publication, complete the approval process for your model before initiating this step in variant management.

Procedure

  1. Adapt the master model.

  2. In the repository, enable the check box of the master model and click Trigger roll-out Variants > Roll out changes. The Trigger master model roll-out process dialog opens.

  3. Enable the check boxes of the model variants to be included in the master model roll-out process.

  4. Enter a roll-out description. This description is also used as the change list description of the new version generated by triggering the master model roll-out.

  5. Enable the Include descriptive assignments check box if you want to include descriptive assignments such as a model of type Function allocation diagram (FAD).

  6. Use the Refined assignment list box to select how refined assignments should be considered.

    • No refinement: Refined assignments are not included.

    • Include complete hierarchy: All refined assignments are included.

    • Include refinement levels: Enables the Included refinement levels field. There you can enter the level up to which the refinement assignments are included.

  7. If you selected the Include refinement levels option for refined assignments, enter the level up to which the refined assignments should be included in the Included refinement levels field.

  8. Click OK. The Results of the roll-out triggering dialog opens. The roll-out states of the included model variants are displayed.

  9. Click OK.

The roll-out process is started and a new version of the master model and, if selected, of the assigned models are created.

The roll-out is initiated for the model variants for which no previous roll-out is pending. The variant owners of the model variants that are included in the roll-out process receive an e-mail. The e-mail asks the variant owners to open the model variant and to apply the changes made to the master model.

Tip

You can also start the roll-out process by opening the Variants tab in the Properties Details bar for a master model and clicking Roll out changes > Roll out changes.
