Introduction › Expansion

Expansion

Expansion is the extent to which additional objects are included when a subset is checked out. Expansion occurs when downloading a subset. The default expansion of every subset provides the IEF_SUPPLIED Work Attribute Set. The default expansion also provides what you need to add other work sets (the root subject area with Access protection).

You may accept the default expansion for all scoping object types or you may specify another expansion option. If you specify Design, you get the expansions defined in this chapter. Both the unit and system test options change the expansion of the subset for some scoping objects. See Expansion Tables for details.
