Example: View incremental change elements for multiple incremental changes

The following example shows the behavior of a structure when one incremental change is in context and the structure also has incremental change elements (ICEs) in context of another incremental change. Create a structure, as shown in the following example: Create two incremental changes: IC1 with unit effectivity of 1-5 and an end item of enditem. IC2 with unit effectivity of 6-UP and an end item of enditem. Add item c1 in the context of IC1 and then add item c2 in the context of IC2. Create a revision rule of ic_unit containing the following: Copy Working ( ) Has Status( Pending, Configured Using Unit Number ) Choose Tools→Revision Rule→Set Date/Unit/End Item and make IC1 active, for example, by setting unit effectivity of 3 and an end item of enditem. Choose View→Show Unconfigured Changes. Teamcenter does not show the item added by IC2 because, in the context of IC1, you added only c1. Specifically, you added c2 in the context of IC2, which is not active. Similarly, if you make IC2 active, Teamcenter only shows c2. Teamcenter displays the results of remove and override actions differently. For example, if you remove c3 in the context of IC2, it shows the following structure. If you then make IC1 active, Teamcenter: Shows c1, which was added in the context of IC1. Does not show c2, which was added in the context of IC2 and should not be shown when IC1 is active. Shows c3, which is removed in the context of IC2 but is not removed in the context of IC1. If you now add c4 with an override in the context of IC2, Teamcenter shows the following structure. If you make IC1 active, Teamcenter: Shows c1, which was added in the context of IC1. Does not show c2, which was added in the context of IC2 and therefore should not be visible when IC1 is active. Shows c3, which was removed in the context of IC2 but is not removed in the context of IC1. Shows c4 without the override because c4 was added in the context of IC2. That is, if IC1 is active, Teamcenter shows only components that are active for IC1. It does not show the added components from IC2, but it does show the removed components from IC2. It shows the BOM lines for the overrides for IC2 but not the overrides themselves.
