Disallow updating an existing solution variant

You can prevent updating an existing solution variant of type Reuse by configuring the statuses, so that a business user can obsolete it and create and then use a new solution variant. To do that, you use the SolutionVariantDisableUpdateStatusList preference. You can add all valid Teamcenter statuses as values to this preference. The default value available in this preference is Obsolete. You can add more statuses to the list of statuses as per your business requirement. When the user sets any of the statuses in the preference on a solution variant, automatic updates to the solution variant are disabled. The business user can replace this solution variant by either creating a new solution variant for its 150% configurable structure or by updating its parent solution variant.
