Modifying Expansion Values of an Object

Follow these steps:

  1. From the Increment Subset dialog, click the + box to the left of the required dialog object type. The selected object expands and displays a list of scoping objects.
  2. Add the preferred scoping objects to your subset. If the object is not selected prior to modifying its expansion (or protection) value, CA Gen automatically marks the check box to the left of the object's name.
  3. To modify the expansion value of a scoping object, select the displayed value for that object, for example, Default. A drop‑down list displays three possible values: Short, Default, and Full.

    Note: If a scoping object displays with the Scoped status, you can still select it to modify the protection or expansion values.

  4. Select a value.
  5. After modifying all required values, click Update. A Progress bar appears as the definition of your subset is updated in the encyclopedia with the modified values. When updating completes, the Increment Subset dialog closes and the Downgrade report displays for viewing.
  6. After viewing the report, press Enter. The Downgrade Report dialog closes and the Model Window redisplays.

Note: Each scoping object within your subset can be modified to a higher expansion. Values display according to how the object was scoped. For example, if you checked out an object with Default expansion, you can change it to Full expansion but not to Short expansion, so Short does not display as one of your options.
