Carrying forward or rolling up active changes

Teamcenter carries forward active changes if:

• The change is currently active and the qualifying incremental change is not released, or

• The change will be configured in the future.

It copies the affected object to the new item revision. It also connects the new copy of the affected object by an incremental change element (ICE) to the same incremental change as the original affected object.

Teamcenter rolls up active changes if the change is currently active and the qualifying incremental change is released. It copies only the affected object to the new item revision.

ICEs link affected objects to revisions of incremental changes. As an incremental change evolves, the affected object may be qualified by several ICEs to multiple revisions of the same incremental change. If you do not assign explicit out effectivities, but supersede them with later in points (for example, A: 1–UP, B: 10–UP, C: 20–UP), multiple revisions of the same incremental change may be considered active. If the baseline effectivity is equal to or more than 20, the latest in rule determines that C is the currently configured revision. However, as you may subsequently change any effectivity, Teamcenter carries forward the affected object with ICE qualification to all of these active incremental change revisions.
