About the Change Management Revision Mechanism

After a relationship among components is created, you can revise one or more of the components through the change-required process. You can specify these components to be automatically revised whenever the attached CA is promoted from "Evaluate" to In Work. This section describes how the component relationships change whenever one or more components is revised.

This page discusses:

Starting Structure

To understand revision update behavior, assume that a structure has the component relationship shown below. Also assume that you want to create component Bus 1 revision B and Bus 2 revision B and apply both of the new revisions using a CA. Three relationships (Rel A, Rel B, and Rel C) connect the components.



Revision Scenarios

The table below describes all the scenarios in which the parts Bus 1 and Bus 2 can be revised. There are three revision behaviors, none, float, and replicate. The "From" and "To" indicators specify whether the behavior applies to the new revisions as either the parent or the child in each relationship.
