-====== 8 Freigabeprozess ======+====== 8 Release process ======
  
-===== 8.1 Grundlagen =====+===== 8.1 Fundamentals =====
  
-Im Teamcenter sind Prozesse (Workflows) für mehrere Freigabestufen implementiert. Eine Freigabe einer Revision in Teamcenter bedeutet, dass diese Revision nicht mehr geändert werden kann und einen bestimmten Status erhält. Außerdem werden ein Freigabe-Datum und die freigebende Person an der Revision vermerkt und es erfolgt eine Neutralformat-Erzeugung, wobei die Formate gewählt werden können. Möglich sind JT, PDF, Tiff, STEP, IGES, DXF und DWG. +In Teamcenter, processes (workflows) are implemented for several release levels. A release of a revision in Teamcenter means that this revision can no longer be changed and receives a certain status. In addition, a release date and the releasing person are noted on the revision and a neutral format generation takes place, where the formats can be selected. Possible formats are JT, PDF, Tiff, STEP, IGES, DXF and DWG. 
  
-Ein gesetzter Status kann nicht zurückgenommen werden. Nach der Freigabe einer Revision muss eine neue Revision erstellt werden, um Änderungen durchführen zu können. Umgekehrt kann eine neue Revision nur erstellt werden, wenn die Vorgänger-Revision einen Status erhalten hat. +A set status cannot be reset. After a revision has been released, a new revision must be created in order to make changes. Conversely, a new revision can only be created if the previous revision has a status. 
  
-__Folgende Freigabestufen sind vorgesehen:__ +__The following release levels are provided: __ 
  
-Engineering Release (Konstruktionsfreigabe, ER): Diese Freigabe dient dazu, eine Revision im PLM System festzuschreiben. Wahlweise erfolgt eine „Eigenfreigabe“ ohne Prüfung („Review“) oder eine Prüfung nach dem „4-Augen-Prinzip“.+Engineering Release (ER): This release is used to define a revision in the PLM system. Optionally, a "self-release" without check ("review") or a check according to the "4-eye-principle" is carried out.
    
-Bei der Freigabe auf „ER“ erfolgt kein SAP-Übertrag. Das Erstellen einer neuen Revision ist ohne eine Änderungsmitteilung (Change Notice bzw. einfach nur Change) möglich.+When the release is set to "ER", there is no SAP transfer. A new revision can be created without a change notice (change notice or simply change).
  
-Preseries (Vorserie, PS): Diese Freigabe erfordert eine Prüfung nach dem „4-Augen-Prinzip“. Der Prüfer kann vom Initiator des Workflows gewählt werden, muss aber aus dessen Gruppe („KV“) stammen und die Rolle „Design-Admin“ haben. Dies wird vom Workflow voreingestellt. Bei der Freigabe nach „PS“ erfolgt ein SAP Übertrag. Das SAP-System wird dabei automatisch anhand der aktuellen Gruppe der freigebenden Person ausgewählt, z.B. wird bei der Gruppe „EI“ in das SAP System PE1 übetragen.+Preseries (pre-series, PS): This release requires a check according to the "4-eye-principle". The auditor can be selected by the initiator of the workflow, but must come from his group ("KV") and have the role "Design Admin". This is preset by the workflow. When releasing after "PS", an SAP transfer takes place. The SAP system is automatically selected on the basis of the current group of the releasing person, for example, in the group "EI" PE1 is transferred to the SAP system.
  
-Es wird unterschieden nach „Erstfreigabe“ und „Folgefreigabe“. Bei der Erstfreigabe wird erstmalig eine Revision eines Teils auf den Status „PS“  gebracht; dies muss nicht die Revision 00 sein, da vorher auch nur der Status „ER“ gesetzt sein kann. Für eine Folgefreigabe ist ein Change zwingend notwendig, damit die Änderungen nachverfolgt werden können. +A distinction is made between "initial release" and "subsequent release". With the first release, a revision of a part is set to the status "PS" for the first time; this does not have to be revision 00, since only the status "ER" can be set beforehand. For a follow-up release, a change is mandatory so that the changes can be tracked. 
    
-===== 8.2 Engineering Release  (Freigabe nach „Er“) =====+===== 8.2 Engineering Release (release after "Er") =====
  
-Bei der Freigabe werden bestimmte Bedingungen geprüft, ohne die der Workflow nicht startet. Bedingungen für eine Konstruktionsfreigabe sind:+During release, certain conditions are checked without which the workflow does not start. These are conditions for a design release:
  
-  * Es handelt sich um ein Objekt vom Typ „FFG EngItemRevision“+  * This is an object of type "FFG EngItemRevision".
  
-  * Alle Pflichtattribute sind ausgefüllt +  * All mandatory attributes are filled in 
  
-  * Die Benennung wurde aus dem Benennungskatalog gewählt (Benennungs-ID ist gesetzt)+  * The naming was selected from the naming catalog (naming ID is set).
  
-  * Bei einer Baugruppe müssen alle Komponenten der ersten Stufe denselben oder einem höheren Freigabestatus besitzen oder die Komponenten müssen im selben Freigabeworkflow enthalten sein.+  * For an assembly, all components of the first stage must have the same or a higher release status, or the components must be contained in the same release workflow.
  
-  * Alle Revisionen haben keinen Status (sind in „Working“).+  * All revisions have no status (are in "Working").
  
  
-Um eine Konstruktionsfreigabe zu machen gehen Sie wie folgt vor.+To make a design release, proceed as follows.

 + 
 + 
 +===== 8.4 Serial release (release after "SE") ===== 
 + 
 +When you release a series, that is, release it to status SE, the data is transferred to SAP. The material master, structure (if available) and documents (info records and files) are transferred. 
 + 
 +The series release can be started by any designer. This means that a person from the same group (for example, "EI") with the role "Design-Admin" must approve the release. 
 + 
 +After the serial release, a part can no longer be changed except by administrative intervention. 
 + 
 +During release, certain conditions are checked, without which the workflow does not start. Condition for a series release are: 
 + 
 +  * It's an object of the FFG EngItemRevision type. 
 +  * All mandatory attributes are filled in  
 +  * The naming was selected from the naming catalog (naming ID is set). 
 +  * For an assembly, all components of the first stage must have the same or a higher release status, or the components must be contained in the same release workflow. 
 +  * All revisions to be released do not already have the status "SE". 
 + 
 +To make a series release, proceed as follows: 
 + 
 +Select one or more revisions to be released. These can be individual parts or assemblies. 
 + 
 +<WRAP tip><color black>**Note:**</color> \\ \\ You can select the revisions both in the "Teamcenter Navigator" and in the "Structure Manager". In this example we will make the selection in the "Structure Manager".</WRAP> 
 + 
 +Select "File -> New -> Workflow Process..." or press Ctrl+P or Ctrl+P on the keyboard. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_021.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +The dialog for creating a new workflow opens. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_022.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Select the FFG 03 Series workflow and press OK. No further input is required. However, it is possible to include or remove further revisions as so-called "targets" in the workflow. It is also possible to assign a different name and/or a description (but this is not necessary and also not usual). 
 + 
 +<WRAP info><color blue>**Note:**</color> \\ \\ If not all mandatory attributes have been filled in, a corresponding message is displayed and the workflow is not created. </WRAP> 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_023.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +In this case, you can make any necessary changes and restart the workflow. 
 +  
 +If all conditions are met, the workflow starts and you can see the started workflow in your inbox in the Teamcenter Navigator under "Tasks to Perform". This is located in the "Review Selection" process step. 
 + 
 +First open the "References" entry and double-click on the "ProcessControlForm" form.  
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_024.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +You can now select the desired neutral formats. The default formats are JT and PDF. If the default settings are sufficient, you can skip this step, otherwise press "Check-Out and Edit". 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_025.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Select the neutral formats and press "Save and Check-In". 
 + 
 +Then press the "Perform Task" button in the upper bar of the Teamcenter Navigator.  
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_026.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +A menu opens in which you can select a reviewer/releaser. The workflow ensures that this person can only be selected from your own group (KV) and has the role "Design-Admin".  
 + 
 +Select a person in the right menu window under "Organization" and press "Add". The person is assigned to the profile in the left menu window and the "OK" button is activated. 
 + 
 +Press "OK". The window closes and the task is completed. 
 + 
 +The following tasks are performed by the person selected to release the revisions. This person receives a release request by e-mail. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_027.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Select the task in the worklist under "Tasks to Perform".  
 + 
 +Press the button "Perform Task" in the upper menu bar. 
 + 
 +In the following dialog press "No Decision". 
 + 
 +In the following dialog, section "Approve" and then "OK". 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_028.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +The workflow now continues. After a short while, the "Approve" decision is displayed in green (or red for "Reject"). You can now close the dialog with "Close". 
 + 
 +Under "My Worklist -> Tasks To Track" you can follow the workflow. In this example the neutral formats are created. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_029.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +After the workflow has been completed, the creator of the workflow receives a notification by e-mail and the parts have the status "SE". 
 + 
 +The status is displayed in the column "Item Rev Status" in the structure manager. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_030.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +In the Teamcenter Navigator, the status is displayed as an icon on all released objects. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_031.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 + 
 +===== 8.5 Changes and release after changes ===== 
 + 
 +If a part that already has series release is to be released again after a change, a change notice is required. In general, this is also referred to as a change.  
 + 
 +However, a part can be revised without a change and can also be released with the status ER.  
 + 
 +To make a change to a released part, first create a new revision. To do this, select an existing revision and then choose "File -> Revise...". 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_032.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +The revision dialog opens. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_033.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Press "Finish" without further input. In this example, revision 01 was created. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_034.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +The model (UGMASTER) and the drawing (UGPART) are copied during revision. Please note that neutral formats such as PDF or JT are not accepted. These will be recreated if necessary or at the latest at release. 
 + 
 +In order to release the new revision to the status "SE", a change must exist. The creation of changes may require certain additional permissions under certain circumstances. 
 + 
 +Select "File -> New -> Change...". 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_035.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +The change number is automatically assigned by Teamcenter. The attributes "Overview" and "Description" are mandatory attributes and must therefore be filled in. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_036.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Enter any values for "Synopsis" and "Description" and press "Finish". 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_037.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +If you selected a folder, the Change object is inserted here. Otherwise the Change can be found in the Newstuff folder. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== 8.5.1 Adding participants ==== 
 + 
 +In order to be able to work on a change, you must be assigned to it as a participant. The person who created the change can assign participants with different roles to it. For the sake of simplicity, we at FFG will only use the role "Change Contributor".  
 + 
 +Select the revision (!) of the Change object and choose "Tools -> Assign Participants...". 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_038.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +The dialog for assigning persons known from the release process opens. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_039.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Select a person with the role "Design" from the organization and add them to the Change as "Change Contributor" with "Add". If necessary, repeat the process for other persons.  
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_040.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Then press "OK". 
 + 
 +==== 8.5.2 Solution Items and Problem Items ==== 
 + 
 +A change is used to track changes under a common change number. Due to changes, so-called "solutions" are created and assigned to the change. The items to be changed (i.e. those that cause "problems") are assigned to the change as "problems". In this example, revision 00 is a "problem" and revision 01 is the "solution". New parts that do not have a previous revision can also be created as part of a change.  
 + 
 +To add "Solutions" and "Problem" to the change, copy the corresponding revisions and paste them into the (pseudo) folders "Problems" and "Solutions".  
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_041.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Then you can release the "Solutions". Note that it is not the Change itself that is released, but the "Solutions" it contains.  
 + 
 +==== 8.5.3 Start of the release process ==== 
 + 
 +To release, select one or more revisions of the "Solutions" and press "Ctrl+P" or "Ctrl+P". 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_042.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Now select the workflow "FFG 03 Series with Change". 
 + 
 +The rest of the procedure is the same as for series release. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_043.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Select a person who is to perform a review according to the principle of dual control. The possible persons are predefined, i.e. they must have the role "Design-Admin" and be in your group (KV). 
 + 
 +This concludes your task as a designer with the role "Design". 
 + 
 + 
 +==== 8.5.4 Review and Release ==== 
 + 
 +When you receive a share request, select the appropriate task in your worklist and press the "Perform" button.  The dialog for sharing opens. 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_044.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +Press the "No Decision" link, then the "Approve" button, then the "OK" button. 
 + 
 +The workflow will now be processed further.  
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_045.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +When the workflow has run through, the revision and all objects referenced under it are released and the neutral formats have been created. Note that this revision has now received a "change number". 
 + 
 + 
 +===== 8.6 SAP transfer ("Growing bill of materials") ===== 
 + 
 +==== 8.6.1 Introduction ==== 
 + 
 +Even during the development process, bills of material can be transferred to SAP without actually being released. In this case, parts and bills of material are not write-protected and can be processed further.  
 + 
 +The following rules apply when transferring to SAP: 
 + 
 +  * The BOM, that is, the revision that represents the assembly, must not have the status "SE". 
 +  * Components or sub-assemblies that have not already been transferred to SAP (i.e. are "in working" or have the status "ER") are filtered out during transfer. 
 +  * After the transfer, the revision receives the status "PS", but is not write-protected. The status "PS" indicates that the BOM or part has been transferred to SAP. 
 +  * If a revision already had the status "ER", it can be transferred to SAP, but it remains write-protected, that is, the status "ER" is not reset. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== 8.6.2 Starting the SAP update ==== 
 + 
 +Select one (or more) revision(s) to be transferred to SAP. You can do this in the Teamcenter Navigator or in the Structure Manager. 
 + 
 +Press "Ctrl+P". 
 + 
 +{{ :uc_approvalprocess_en_046.png?direct |}} 
 + 
 +In the following dialog select the workflow "FFG 10 SAP BOM Update" and press "OK". There is no further query, the workflow starts immediately. 
 + 
 +After the workflow has run through, you will see the status "Preseries" or "PS" at the revision and at all objects below it. In addition, a so-called "snapshot" with the name "SAP Update" is created, which contains the parts contained in the structure at the time of the call, so that the respective changes can be traced.
