Incremental Packages
An incremental package shares only the updates of a previous package from a source PLM system with one or more target PLM system recipients.
Usage Scenarios
You can use an incremental package to share the following:
• A quarterly update of a collection of standard library components to different divisions within a company, or with a design or supply chain partner
• Between companies who are closely collaborating on a new design and need to share updates with each other on a regular or ad-hoc basis.
The following examples show how to use incremental packages to provide optimal productivity:
• Incremental packages typically export and import in substantially less time than a complete package
• Because incremental packages only contain updates or additions; they are typically much smaller in size, making them easier to handle and send.
You can find the baseline related to a previously exported package by locating an object that was included in the last package. For example, to find the top-level object that is at a later iteration than what is currently in the target PLM system.
