<StateOfOlderVersionsAfterRelease>
Section:
<ReleaseProcess>
Required:
No
Value type:
String
Default:
None
Product:
Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager, Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager
Description
When you set the <StateOfOlderVersionsAfterRelease> tag, you can
• Control whether all non-released older versions of models and drawings should have their state changed when releasing a new version of the model or drawing, and
• Unreserve, or remove from a packet, the older versions of the current model or drawing.
If this tag is included (and not empty), the value specifies the state where all older non-released versions should move. For example, if the value is set to archived, all older versions move to Archived.
Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager will also automatically unreserve the older versions, if the model or drawing is currently Reserved, and you're changing the state of the model's or drawing's current version to Released.
If empty or not included, only items already in the Released state move to the state specified in the <StateAfterRelease> tag.
Example
To replace the default behavior with a configured behavior, add this tag to the <ReleaseProcess> section of your custom xml file.
