  • Column PSOL Project:

    The data records of the old version are identified in the PSOL Project column by the version number in the project name. The current version does not have a version number in its name.

  • Current status [Active status] column:

    "Released [Released] " is still displayed for old projects before they are processed by the Update Manager.

    "Locked [Locked] " is still displayed for the current projects before they are processed by the Update Manager.

  • Requested status column:

    Expired " is displayed for the old projects.

    "Renewed [Updated] " is still displayed for the current projects before they are processed by the Update Manager.

[Note]Note

Data records that could be mapped (the mapping information is to be understood as a suggestion and is not to be equated with a definitive assignment!) are displayed twice in the PSOL project [PSOL Project] column in the PARTlinkManager, as a current version without version number and as an old version with version number.

Datasets which could not be mapped are displayed once as old version with version number.

Older versions are marked with a time stamp in the PSOL Project column in PARTlinkManager. The higher the number, the newer the catalog version. The current version has no time stamp.

You can hide the old versions via icon .
