Select Logical Unit

Explanation

This activity is used to specify the logical units that will be a part of the Update Company process. 

By default, all logical units that have been selected as Active in the Enterprise/Company/Component Management/Component Registration window  will be a part of the company update. However, this activity makes it possible to specify in detail the exact logical units that should should affect the update. For example, you can make sure that only basic data associated with one or more specific logical units will affect the company to be updated.

Specify the following in the general configuration, in the Ipdate Company dialog box,

• Whether the update should only consider active Logical Units that do not contain any basic data in the company to be updated.
• Whether the update should only consider active, non-account related Logical Units and add all basic data that does not already exist.
• Whether the update should only consider active, account related Logical Units and add all basic data that does not already exist.

Note: You must be careful about specifying conflicting configurations. For example, if you use this activity to specify that only non-account related logical units are active, and you specify that only account-related logical units should affect the update, in the Update Company dialog box, the result will be that no logical units will be affected at all. 

Prerequisites

A company must be available, and it must have been decided to add new basic data to that company.

System Effects

The selected Logical Units are those that will be active in the Update Company process. If the selected Logical Units are used or not also depends on how the update has been configured in the Update Company dialog box.
