Protection

When you extract a model or subset, the encyclopedia protects the extracted model or subset objects from conflicting updates in the parent and child models.

Subsets extracted from a parent model become models when loaded into an encyclopedia. The Extract Process records and enforces subset protection for each object as it is defined for the parent model.

The maximum protection available to an object in extracted models and subsets depends on:

• If the object is checked out in other subsets of the parent model at the time of the model extract
• If the requested protection is delete and if the object is considered incomplete
• The protection that is obtained for the object when the parent model was extracted from the parent
