Using CA IDMS Enforcer › Utilities Option › Confirm Entity Replace Screen

Confirm Entity Replace Screen

The Confirm Entity Replace screen appears to verify the replacement of an entity type. The replacement includes all templates, template fields and field values or value ranges associated with each template.

The Confirm Entity Replace screen offers two options:

• Press the Enter key to confirm the replacement.
• Type END in the Command line and press the Enter key to cancel the replacement.

If the entity structure you have chosen to replace does not contain a template which is indirectly referenced by another template structure the Confirm Entity Replace screen (1), shown below, appears with a warning message indicating that templates associated with the entity will be replaced.

Note: Entities contained in dictionaries defined in your central version are not affected by this operation.

Exhibit 3.30: Confirm Entity Replace Screen (1)

If the entity structure you have chosen to replace does contain a template which is indirectly referenced by another template, the Confirm Entity Replace screen (2), shown below, appears with a warning message indicating the existence of indirect referencing and the type of action that will be taken if the operation is completed.

If you complete the replacement, all indirect references are resolved to wildcards (*) and bracket mode templates converted to non-bracket mode.

Note: Entity types contained in dictionaries defined in your central version are not affected by the confirmation of the function.
