Mass Promote and Demote Properties

These properties configure mass promote and demote. The mass promote and demote feature allows a user to select multiple objects on a table or structure browser page and promote or demote them all. The system evaluates each object for dependencies (such as checked in files, routes or approvals). You can explicitly add the mass promote (AEFLifecycleMassPromote) or mass demote (AEFLifecycleMassDemote) commands to any toolbar.

If you want to change the default values, enter your changes in the emxSystem.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.

Property Name Property Description Valid Values
emxFramework.Lifecycle.MassPromoteDemote.EnableEnables (true) or disables (false) mass promote and demote. When true, any table or structure browser page that includes both the Type and State columns will also include the Promote and Demote buttons on the page toolbar.

This property can be overridden for a specific page using the massPromoteDemote URL parameter.

True or False
emxFramework.Lifecycle.MassPromoteDemote.<SYMBOLICNAMEOFPOLICY>.From.RelationshipList emxFramework.Lifecycle.MassPromoteDemote.<SYMBOLICNAMEOFPOLICY>.To.RelationShipListDefines the relationship used to evaluate whether two objects have a parent/child relationship, where <SYMBOLICNAMEOFPOLICY> is the symbolic name, such as policy_Build. In many cases, a parent object cannot be promoted until all of its child objects are in a certain state.

Objects connected to the to side of one of the defined "To" relationships are treated as parent objects and objects connected to the from side are treated as child objects.

For example:emxFramework.Lifecycle.MassPromoteDemote.policy_ECPart.from.RelationshipList=EBOM,Part Specification

emxFramework.Lifecycle.MassPromoteDemote.ExcludeTypeListSpecifies types that cannot be mass promoted or demoted. The exclusion only applies to mass promote/demote; objects can still be promoted from the Lifecycle category (if configured for the object type). This property is inherited by child objects of the specified administrative types. Comma-separated list of objects types
