Mark as Valid Template
Explanation
This activity is used to change the status of a Company
Template from Invalid to Valid.
Information about the status of a Company Template:
- When a template is created, during fresh
installation/upgrade or by using the import of a
template file, the component versions defined in the
template are required to correspond to the registered component versions.
If this is not the case, then the processing will follow these guidelines:
- If a Company Template already exists, with
incorrect (non-compatible and typically older) component versions, then no
data will be imported for any incorrect components. All errors will be
logged. This template is an invalid template from the start.
- If the Company Template does not exist then it
will be imported, even if the component versions in the template do not
correspond to the registered component versions. The same applies if just one
component of an existing Company Template is installed/imported where the
component version in the file differs from the registered version. The
template will be marked as Invalid.
- After installation or import, all successfully
created Company Templates will be marked as Valid. A template is valid
with respect to the component version registered in the template for each one of the
components.
- When a new release of a component is installed, then this new version will
be registered in
Component Registration.
During the registration all existing templates will also be checked in order to find templates containing this
component but with another version than the one just registered and all
found templates will
be marked as Invalid.
Thus, after having performed an upgrade, you may find that some of the templates
are not valid. This means that an invalid template consists of data related to
component versions other than those currently installed. This activity makes it possible to change the status
of a Company Template from Invalid to Valid. By doing this, the template can be
used as a source for the Create Company process.
Prerequisites
Templates that are not active must be available in the database.
System Effects
- An invalid Company Template will be modified such that all components in the template gets the
version according to registered data in Component Registration.
- Even if the Company Template has been marked as valid and has component versions corresponding
to installed component versions, the data in the template might be inconsistent with
the current Business Logic.
