Update the Template Structure
Explanation
This activity is used to update the template structure with changes
introduced by modifications. A modification may require,
- a change of the prime part for a particular position in the template
structure
- one or more new structure positions to be added to the template
structure
- the removal of an existing template structure position that was made
invalid through the modification
Note that the required structure change must have been pre-registered on the
modification (when it was in the Preliminary status) to be able to
perform this activity. For more information refer the activities,
Define a new Prime Part,
Define a New Structure Position and
Define the Structure Position to Remove.
Prerequisites
- The required template changes must have been registered on the
modification.
- If a new prime part is defined for a new or existing structure position,
this prime part must be a valid alternate for the chosen structure position.
- If an existing structure position is to be removed from the template
structure, all serials and parts valid for that position in the structure
must first be removed.
System Effects
- The template structure position is updated with the new prime part
registered on the modification.
- The new structure position is added to the template structure and can be
installed in serial structures. Note that the new template structure
position is added to the template with a structure status of Preliminary.
In order to become a valid position for use in the template, the status of
the structure must be set to Active.
- The given structure position is removed from the template structure and
can no longer be used in serial structures.

this check box if the new part is to be created as a separate template.

of the new position) to automatically receive the template's access
group(s).
