Check In Versions of Extended Rule Libraries

Edit online

About this task

If you update an extended rule library (or any extended rule in that library) in the Extended Rule Library Editor, you must check in the new version to make it available to Sterling B2B Integrator and to release the lock on the extended rule library.

Additionally, you must recompile any maps that use that library. You can view all the maps that use each library through the Delete Libraries interface. This is very important because it enables you to easily view a list of the maps that will need to be recompiled if you change an extended rule in a library (you would recompile all the maps that use that particular library). You can also view the list of maps that use a specific rule library by clicking on the rule name within the search or list view.

Before you can check in a version of an extended rule library, you must first check out the extended rule library from Sterling B2B Integrator and you must select the appropriate check box (description follows) to maintain the lock on the extended rule library in Lock Manager.

Note: Extended Rule Libraries may also be unlocked using the Lock Manager.
