Fields | Description
Base VRC | A means in PMC to identify products in a unique way. Updates at the distributor side are provided with the base VRC identifier. A base VRC can contain the code of the physical VRC in which the related master product is installed, for example, B61_a, but can also be a code not related to a physical VRC, for example, 7.6_a_tt. At the recipient side, every update VRC is linked to a base VRC identifier. The installation process checks if the base VRC identifier of the update matches with the base VRC identifier of the update VRC. If not, you cannot install the update in that update VRC.
Solution Code | A unique identification for the solution in a base VRC.
Package | The package code.
Derived From Base VRC | Using this field, you can define relationships between the base VRC of a derived product and the related parent product. You use this relationship if you create and derive update VRCs at a recipient during installation of a Feature Pack. You must always define the relationship to the base VRC of the Feature Pack on which the Feature Pack of the derived product is built. Example: The following products are available: Standard product PARENT with package p1, p2, and p3 Derived product LOC1, which is derived from PARENT. Packages p1 and p2 are changed. Note that package p3 is not changed for LOC1. A new package, p4, was introduced for LOC1. Derived product LOC2, which is derived from LOC1. Packages p1, p2, p3, and p4 are changed. Note that package p3 is changed for LOC2. Two Feature Packs are available. In this scenario, you must populate the Derived From Base VRC as follows:
Product | Feature Pack | Package | Base VRC | Derived From Base VRC
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
PARENT | 1 | p1 | B61_a1 |
PARENT | 1 | p2 | B61_a1 |
PARENT | 1 | p3 | B61_a1 |
PARENT | 2 | p1 | B61_a2 |
PARENT | 2 | p2 | B61_a2 |
PARENT | 2 | p3 | B61_a2 |
LOC1 | 1 | p1 | B61L_a1_loc1 | B61_a1
LOC1 | 1 | p2 | B61L_a1_loc1 | B61_a1
LOC1 | 1 | p4 | B61L_a1_loc1 |
LOC1 | 2 | p1 | B61L_a2_loc1 | B61_a2
LOC1 | 2 | p2 | B61L_a2_loc1 | B61_a2
LOC1 | 2 | p4 | B61L_a2_loc1 |
LOC2 | 1 | p1 | B61L_a1_loc2 | B61L_a1_loc1
LOC2 | 1 | p2 | B61L_a1_loc2 | B61L_a1_loc1
LOC2 | 1 | p3 | B61L_a1_loc2 | B61_a1
LOC2 | 1 | p4 | B61L_a1_loc2 | B61L_a1_loc1
LOC2 | 2 | p1 | B61L_a2_loc2 | B61L_a2_loc1
LOC2 | 2 | p2 | B61L_a2_loc2 | B61L_a2_loc1
LOC2 | 2 | p3 | B61L_a2_loc2 | B61_a2
LOC2 | 2 | p4 | B61L_a2_loc2 | B61L_a2_loc1
