Features of MDM Dictionary Update

If an MDM dictionary of any type refers to one or several repository objects, only this MDM dictionary is added to the update by default. Objects, to which the dictionary refers, are not added. To add such objects, use the Consists Of dialog box.

To add single attributes and elements to the update, use partial update of MDM dictionaries:

To add a dictionary attribute to update:

Open the MDM dictionary for edit and go to the Description tab. Then go to the Attributes tab.
Open the context menu of the selected attribute.
Select the Add to Update item.

If the dictionary has not been yet included in the update, the Add Object to Update dialog box opens. Set update options in the dialog box. If the dictionary has been already included in the update, it is not necessary to set up options again on adding new attributes.

After executing the operations the selected attribute is added to the update in the update manager. The corresponding box in the Transfer Data column in the update manager will indicate that the dictionary update is partial:

To delete dictionary attribute from update:

Open the MDM dictionary for edit and go to the Description tab. Then go to the Attributes tab.
Open the context menu of the selected attribute.
Select the Delete from Update item.

After executing the operations the selected attribute is excluded from the update.

To add a dictionary element to update:

Open the MDM dictionary for edit and go to the Dictionary Elements tab.
Open the context menu of the selected element.
The next step depends on whether there are child elements:

If the selected element does not have child elements, select the Add to Update item.
If the selected element has child elements, select the Add to Update item and then in the drop-down list select:

Without Child Elements. The element will be added to the update without child elements.
With Child Elements. The element will be added to the update with child elements.

If the dictionary has not been yet included in the update, the Add Object to Update dialog box opens. Set update options in the dialog box. If the dictionary has been already included in the update, it is not necessary to set up options again on adding new elements.

After executing the operations the selected element is added to the update in the update manager. The corresponding box in the Transfer Data column in the update manager will indicate that the update is partial:

To delete dictionary element from update:

Open the MDM dictionary for edit and go to the Dictionary Elements tab.
Open the context menu of the selected element.
Select the Delete from Update item.

NOTE. If the parent element is deleted from the update, its child elements are kept in the update. To delete child elements from the update, select the Delete from Update item in the child elements' context menu.

After executing the operations the selected element will be excluded from the update.

NOTE. Partial update of MDM dictionaries is available only in the desktop application.
