Updated Files

Files can be re-imported in to RateManager only if the original file is deleted from the Public XML tab or the updated file has a new name. An updated file cannot be applied to an existing program, only to a new program. This means that even though the file is updated, a new program will be created. No new program versions will be created. Users will have the option to create the new program in the same product or a new product.

If the file is applied to the same product as the earlier file, updates to global elements may not be recognized. If the element ID number is found in the database, the element is not updated or over-written. The element will not be updated, it will be ignored. No new element revisions or program versions will be created.

If the file is applied to a new product, then the program and elements will be created as expected.

 

When a Public XML file is updated, it is recommended that global elements not be updated/changed or instruct the RateManager users to apply the program to a new product. A new product will create the program and elements as expected.
