About Global and Context Date Effectivities

Configuration and Effectivity Services allows you to configure a global date or context date effectivity.

A global date effectivity applies regardless of the context. A context date effectivity applies to a specific context, such as dates in the design or manufacturing process, of a specific model or product.

For context date effectivity, users select the model and product required to establish context. For global date effectivity, however, there is no specific model or product. To support global dates, Configuration and Effectivity Services defines a Model and Product used for this purpose.

The Model has these basic settings:

Basic SettingValue
TypeModel
NameGlobal
Revisionnone defined
PolicyModel
StatePreliminary

The Product has these basic settings:

Basic SettingValue
TypeProduct
NameGlobal
RevisionA
PolicyProduct
StatePreliminary

The Model and Product are connected using the Products relationship. These objects show up in searches, but should not be used.
