Business Identity for Change Management
When working with the business identity associated with changeable object links, it's important to know that during the import of objects into a target system, any link associated with a changeable object cannot be modified due to an administrative lock applied to that object.
To manage this behavior, configure the following properties:
• wt.fc.adminlock.AdministrativeLockType.change2.ProductDesignPkg|MarkForReadinessLock
• wt.fc.adminlock.AdministrativeLockType.change2.ProductDesignPkg|InTransitLock
The following table lists the administrative lock properties and their corresponding descriptions, highlighting how each property influences access and operations on changeable objects.

Changeable Object Links
For changeable object links, the business identity is populated only on the highest iteration of the Affected, Resulting, and Hanging links during replication. This simplifies the import process by ensuring that the latest attributes are applied to the matched latest iteration in the target system.
