New DRM map instances
In the IXIA Dynamic Release Management (DRM) module of IXIA CCMS Web, users with the required access rights can create a new instance of a map to either add it to a new branch or add it to an existing branch for what was an unrelated map.
Users can create a new instance of a map in only one branch at a time. The target branch for the new map instance can only be in the same Product or Library as the current branch. Users cannot create a new instance of the map in a different Product or Library.
Access rights
Users need the identified access rights to create new instances and branches.
- CreateNewInstance allows users to create new instances of maps
- CreateDRMObject allows users to create new branches
Access rights and Content Level Security (CLS)
Users can create a new branch only if they have the correct access rights and read-write access on the current branch of the map. If the current map is in a branch that is closed, users can still create a new instance. The new branch is created with the same child libraries and CLS as the current branch of the map.
Object reusage
For new branches, all the objects in the map are reused in the new branch except for submaps. CCMS Web creates new instances of the submaps instead, but these also reuse the same objects as the original submaps.
For existing branches, all the objects in the map are reused in the new branch. CCMS Web creates new instances of the submaps only if they do not already exist in the target branch.
