Upgrade Product Management Data
The Upgrade Product Management Data job updates Product Management functional areas to include selected features.
Here are the features that you can optionally include in the upgrade:
- Definition Application Role Uptake
- Delete Automatically Generated Import Maps
- Upgrade Manufacturer Management
- Update Request ID and Load Request to 0
- Update start dates on AML and display redlines
You must select each feature separately and run the Analysis or Execution process for each as required.
The Analysis process posts the results of the analysis in the request log and output files for scheduled process.
When to Use
- Definition Application Role Uptake - Run this process to include the Owner column in the new item request definition page so that you can identify the user who completed the definition step or task.
- Delete Automatically Generated Import Maps - Run this process to fix any issues with specific smart spreadsheets used for item mass updates.
- Upgrade Manufacturer Management - You must run this process after opting in for the feature Upgrade Manufacturer Management to mass upgrade existing manufacturer objects. This upgrades product features and data by launching subprocesses for each type of update.
- Update Request ID and Load Request to 0 - For items imported through non-FBDI processes, run this process to set the values for REQUEST_ID and LOAD_REQUEST_ID to 0. Once these IDs are populated, you can purge the data using the Purge Interface Tables scheduled process.
