5.3.3 How to Refresh Extensions and Updates from DFCS

After subscribing to Application Data Services (ADS), you may need to apply extensions to include additional data elements or custom mappings. The following steps outline how to verify, extend, and execute the required processes.

1. Upgrade of Application Data Services: Subscribers must perform an upgrade based on the following scenarios:
   • An existing connector is extended
   • A new custom connector is created in DFCS
   • There is a version upgrade of ADS that is compatible with the current PBSMCS release
2. Check for Extension (ADS - Subscriber): The Check for Extension feature allows users to identify and update the newly added connectors.
   • After completing the ADS Extension at the DFCS setup, click Check for Extension. A confirmation message appears: Do you want to proceed with the extension?
   • Click Confirm to proceed.
   • Then click Submit to finalize the confirmation.
3. Refresh Application Data Services:
   • Click Extend ADS to trigger the extension of Application Data Services.
   • After the extension is triggered, refresh the page once so the updated extensions are visible in the UI.
   • Refresh does not upgrade PBSMCS to a higher DFCS version.
   • This process updates the existing PMF specific to the extensions.
