| # Generate Obsolete Solutions (ttpmc1252s000) Use this session to generate obsolete solutions. This session is one of the steps in the process to create a Feature Pack. Obsolete solutions are created for all solutions of the previous base VRC that have the status Released. You can generate the obsolete solutions based upon the previous patch, but you can also use a file, which contains the obsolete solutions. You can start this session from the Patches (ttpmc1501m000) session. 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. Patch The patch code. Generate from Previous Patch If this check box is selected, the obsolete solutions will be generated based upon the previous patch. Base VRC Previous Patch base VRC, version Previous Patch The previous patch code. Solution Code The Solution code. Export Date / Time The export date and time of the previous patch. Generate from File If this check box is selected, the obsolete solutions will be generated using a file in XML format. Input File The file that contains the obsolete solutions. This file must be in XML format. This XML file must contain a PMCOBSOL element on the highest level. This element must have one BASEVRC child and one or more SOLUTION childs. The BASEVRC element has a VERSION, RELEASE and CUSTOMER attribute. The SOLUTION element has a SOL and DESC attribute. Example of an XML file:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <PMCOBSOL>
            <BASEVRC VERSION="B61" RELEASE="a3" CUSTOMER=""/>
            <SOLUTION SOL="123456" DESC="Fatal error in session"/>
