Post Update Activities: 2024.1.20

Situation

You’re upgrading from an earlier version of PPM Process Package to a newer release. Manual steps for migration are necessary.

With the release of 2024.1.20, the BRF+ customizing process for creation has been restructured. This redesign allows to handle project templates and project types as individual steps.

Important Changes:

  • BRF+ Table: CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMPLATES is now deprecated.

  • The Field ID and Value columns in the **Creation Result Datasets** decision table are also deprecated.

  • New BRF+ decision tables have been introduced:

    • Datasets Group (DATASETS_GROUP)
    • Creation Results Project (CREATION_RESULTS_PROJECT)
    • Creation Result Project Types (CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TYPES)
    • Creation Result Project Templates (CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMP)

Solution

Note: When a custom BRF+ Application is being used, please first update the application following remark Creation of Customer BRF+ Application Section: Scenario Update

Migration Steps: Transfer Entries to the Corresponding Tables

1. Project Type Group:

  • Move values from the Project Type Group column in the CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMPLATES table to the **Creation Result Project Types** table.
  • Copy the Result ID from the CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMPLATES table into the **Creation Result Project Types** table under the same column.

2. Project Template Group:

  • Move values from the Project Type Group column in the CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMPLA table to the **CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMP** table.
  • Copy the Result ID from the CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMPLA table into the **CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMP** table under the same column.


3. Allow DPO Copy and Allow Blank Creation:

  • Copy the Result ID from the CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TEMPLA table into the **CREATION_RESULT_PROJECT_TYPES** table under the same column.
  • Transfer the Allow DPO Copy value to the corresponding column.
  • To allow blank creation, no flag will be set. Instead, enter a Text ID in the relevant column.


4. Datasets Group:

  • Enter the Creation Result Datasets Group ID into the new Output column for Dataset Group ID.
  • Also, add the new Group ID into the DATASETS_GROUP table as input.
  • Move all Field ID and Value entries into the DATASETS_GROUP table.
