Distributing lightweight extensions to other models
Before distributing updated lightweight extensions, ensure that the Lightweight Profile Version number has been changed to a later version number. If the Lightweight Profile Version has not been changed to a later version number, models will not load the changes that have been made to the lightweight extensions.
To distributing lightweight extensions to other models
1. If the Lightweight Profile Version has not been changed to a later version number:
a. In the Packages pane, right-click the Model, point to Tools, point to Profile Extensions, and then click Build Cache/Extensions.
b. Select the check box that is associated with the profile Package that you have changed.
c. Click the command for the version number part you want to increment. Major is the first number, Minor is the second number, Build is the third number, and Revision is the final number.
d. Click OK.
