Revising a Package
A locked package can be revised so that you can send a new version to recipients. New revisions of packages, technical data packages, CDRL packages, or SDRL packages are commonly created for two reasons: a one-time package exchange where the recipient must accept or reject a delivery or a recurring package where the recipient never accepts or rejects the delivery. Creating a new revision is also one step in the business process for a scenario where there are multiple deliveries of a package where a participant must accept or reject the delivery. For more information, see
Adding Successors. A new revision might be required because information has changed and an updated delivery is required, or because the recipient rejected the delivery and the package must be revised with the amended information.
New revisions of replication packages are commonly created to mark significant events based on time. A new revision could also represent events such as changing the included products or libraries or sending a full delivery rather than an incremental delivery.
The Revise action allows you to make changes to a package and then redeliver the revised package. All package attributes, initially selected objects, and collection options are copied to the new revision.
