| # Base VRC's (ttpmc0110m000) Use this session to maintain the relations between base VRCs and export VRCs. The reason why you must specify the relation between export VRCs and base VRCs is as follows: a solution must be linked to a base VRC, because the base VRC specifies for which version of the software the solution is intended. To assemble the solution, you must link components to the solution. However, a component can occur multiple times, in various VRCs. So, how does the system know which of these components you intend? To make this clear, you must link the VRC of the components, that is, the export VRC, to the base VRC of the solution. In addition to the base VRC and the export VRC, the session also shows the development VRC that is linked to each export VRC. The development VRC is derived from the export VRC. If SCM is activated for the export VRC in one or more packages with the same SCM development VRC, PMC uses the SCM development VRC as the development VRC. Related topics PMC introduction PMC overview PMC distributor procedure 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. Export VRC The physical VRC from which components that belong to a PMC solution must be exported at the PMC distributor side. Each base VRC has an export VRC linked, so components for different products are exported from different physical VRCs. The export VRCs must exist in the Package VRCs (ttadv111) table for at least one package. Development VRC In PMC a physical VRC, derived from the Export VRC, in which checked-out software components are temporarily stored during a change process. If you export the solution, and if one or more components exist in the development VRC, a warning message appears. Installable Unit Key PMC Solutions are exported as installable units. At the customer side, to store this installable unit in the staging area, you can use this key. The Infor Installation Wizard supports the installation of products derived from Infor LN. If you create Feature Packs that the Installation Wizard can handle, specify PMC_ERP_Applications in this field. If you create PMC solutions for products that the Installation Wizard does not support, leave this field blank. Installable Unit Name The name of the installable unit that appears in the LN Installer. If you create Feature Packs that the Installation Wizard can handle, specify Infor ERP LN {0} PMC Solutions in this field. If you create PMC solutions for products that the Installation Wizard does not support, leave this field blank. Installable Unit Version The version of the installable unit, which appears in the LN Installer. If you create Feature Packs that the Installation Wizard can handle, specify 6.1 in this field. If you create PMC solutions for products that the Installation Wizard does not support, leave this field blank. Solutions Starts the Solutions (ttpmc1100m000) session. Before you can start this session, the base VRC must be a member of a base VRC combination. Patches Starts the Patches (ttpmc1501m000) session.
