Uploading Maintenance

The batch job ESSMLOD checks the text of the enhancements against corresponding text on the database on a line-by-line basis. The results of this batch job are the Release Maintenance Discrepancies Report and the installed release maintenance.

The Release Maintenance Discrepancies Report lists any differences between the contents of the enhancement and corresponding text and structures (chapters, subjects, topics) on your database. Chapter, subject, and topic internal IDs are used to locate and match enhancements to structures contained on the primary side of your document.

This report enables you to track and compare:

• Movement of structures (chapter, subjects, or topics)
• Deleted structures
• Existing structures
• Altered chapter, subject, and topic external reference IDs
• Altered chapter, subject, topic, and keyword names
• Your text with the corresponding enhancement text.

The Release Maintenance Discrepancies Report is an important element in the update process. This report should be reviewed thoroughly before continuing with the application of maintenance.
