Set Cascade Flag for Enumerated Valid Values
This option is used to set the Cascade Flag property of all
Enumerated Valid Values that have been defined for a selected parent
class(es) to Yes.
Selecting this option from the Class Maintenance window, you can
choose to set the Cascade Flag based on either the Class Label or Class
DBName, to display class names or DB names in the list. Select the class(es)
and click Apply. The Cascade Flag is set to Yes for all EVVs defined for a
given class and all classes in the hierarchy.
This option is useful, when new bottom classes are added as children to the
old bottom classes, especially when the EVVs are defined at old bottom
classes with Cascade Flag set to No.
After setting this flag, we recommend that you run the Cascade Enumerated
Valid Values option.
Cascade Enumerated Valid Values
This option cascades the Enumerated Valid Values for a
selected parent class(es) and all the child classes associated with it.
Selecting this option from the Class Maintenance window, you can
choose either the Class Label or Class DBName, to display class names or DB
names in the list.
Select the class(es) and click Apply. Cascading is
done for all EVVs of the parent class and its child classes:
-
Whose Cascade Flag is Yes.
-
For which EVVs are not defined for the bottom
classes.
This option is useful if the bottom classes are redefined after
the EVVs are created.
Before running this option, we recommend that you run the Set
Cascade Flag for Enumerated Valid Values option and set the
Cascade Flag to Yes.
Set Cascade Flag for Range Valid Values
This option is used to set the Cascade Flag property of all
Range Valid Values which are defined for selected parent class(es) to Yes.
Selecting this option from the Class Maintenance window, you can
choose to set the Cascade Flag based on either the Class Label or Class
DBName. Depending on your selection, the appropriate class names or DB names
are displayed in the list. Select the class(es) and click Apply. The Cascade
Flag is set to Yes for all RVVs defined for a given class and all classes
down its hierarchy.
This option is useful, when new bottom classes are added as children to the
old bottom classes, especially when the RVVs are defined at old bottom
classes with Cascade Flag set to No.
After setting this flag, we recommend that you run the Cascade Range Valid
Values option.
Cascade Range Valid Values
This option cascades the Range Valid Values for a selected
parent class(es) and all the child classes associated with it.
Selecting this option from the Class Maintenance window, you can
choose either the Class Label or Class DBName to display class names or DB
names in the list. Select the class(es) and click Apply. Cascading will be
done for all RVVs of the parent class and its child classes.
This option is useful if the bottom classes are redefined
after the RVVs are created. Before running this option, we recommend that
you run the Set Cascade Flag for Range Valid Values option and set the
Cascade Flag to Yes.
Update Count of Notes and Attachments for Items
This option updates the count of Notes and Attachments
associated with CES items of the specified class. The Note count for
items appears in the Number of Notes property in the specified class.
The Attachment count for items appears in the Number of Attachments
property in the specified class.
Update Count of Attachments at the Class Level
This option updates the count of Attachments at the class
level. This may take time depending on the number of classes.
Update Number of Objects
This option updates the object count of items in a selected
class(es). It counts the number of items present in the selected classes.
Depending on the number of classes selected, this operation may be resource
intensive.
Rollup Maximum Number of Objects
The Max Number of Objects property in the Classes class
specifies how many objects a class should have as the database grows in
size. This option rolls up the value of the Max Number of Objects property
from all the bottom classes to their parents. After selecting this option
from the Class Maintenance window, click Apply to rollup the maximum number
of objects for all the classes.
Refresh configuration and Refresh configuration with cascade
Whenever a class is created or modified, the class
configuration is refreshed. But if the process is not completed due to some
reasons or if the configuration is invalid or does not exist, you can
refresh the configuration using these options:
-
Refresh configuration refreshes the configuration only
for the selected classes. It does not refresh the child classes.
-
Refresh configuration with cascade option refreshes the
configuration for the entire hierarchy, that is, all the child classes
in the selected classes.
