Create Document Updates Utility

With the Create Document Updates utility, you can create a set of document updates (release maintenance) for an entire document, chapter, subject or topic (and topic text).

This utility is used when you have updated a document using existing online facilities and want to apply these changes to another document.

Note: If this utility is performed at the document level, a high activity level on the journal files may occur. Therefore, we strongly recommend that this utility never be run at the document level, and consideration given to using this utility at the chapter, subject, and/or topic level only. The batch utility version for this function is described under the Create Release Maintenance section in Batch Utilities.

You can access the Create Document Updates utility by entering option 3 at the Document Utilities Menu.

There are two document update options:

• Generate maintenance by comparing documents
• Generate maintenance by copying a structure within a document.
