Import/Export

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_amapp_ie.bmp$

Consolidates all of the import/export commands.

Import/Export | Import New Names

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_importnewnames.bmp$

Sets the policy used when encountering new application or class version names during import. If the version names in the import library differ from the names already present in the current library, the new version names may be “Always Accepted”, “Always Rejected”. If set to “Always Ask”, the system will prompt the user for how to proceed.

Import/Export | Export Library Format

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_exportfileformat.bmp$

Defines the default export file format. Choices include “16GB (New Format)”, “1GB (Old Format)” and “Always Ask”. VA 4.5 or above only.

Subapplications | Release To Existing Configs

Releases the new editions of the selected subapplications to the same configurations as the existing editions. For example, if a subapplication appears in two out of four platform dependent configurations, this command will release the new edition into only the two configurations that it had previously been released to. This eliminates the need to open an Application Editions browser to examine the configurations before releasing the subapplications into the appropriate ones.

Configuration Maps | Locate Selected Applications

Find the current (e.g., most recent) config maps containing the selected applications by name.

Configuration Maps | Locate Maps For | Current Edition

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_amapp_cm.bmp$

Find the specific config map editions containing the selected application edition.

Configuration Maps | Locate Maps For | Any Editions

Find all of the config map editions containing any editions of the selected application.

Configuration Maps | Release Selected Applications

Release the current editions of the selected applications into their containing config maps and optionally propagate the changes throughout the entire config map hierarchy.

Configuration Maps | Release Other Editions

Release the other editions of the selected applications into their containing config maps and optionally propagate the changes throughout the entire config map hierarchy.

Configuration Maps | Propagate Changes

Indicates whether config map changes should be propagated throughout the entire config map hierarchy.

Configuration Maps | Create New Editions As Necessary

Indicates whether new config map editions should be created in the event that no open edition currently exists.

Configuration Maps | Update Required map Lineups | Update Required Map Lineups

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_requiredmaplineups.bmp$

Indicates which required map lineups should be updated when config map changes are being propagated. If set to “All”, all lineups will be update. If set to “Valid”, only currently valid lineups will be updated. If set to “Current”, all lineups that are currently up to date will be updated. If set to “Filtered”, only lineups not matching any expressions in the filter list will be updated. Additional options are also presented to allow the use to edit the current filter list, add a filer or clear all of the filters.

Create & Release New Edition

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\icons\New Method.gif$ Combines the Create New Edition and Release To Existing Configs commands. When creating a new subapplication edition, this is the ideal command to use. This command will recursively create and release editions of any parent applications if necessary.

Groups | Add Users

$C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\ao\Graphics\m_amapp_groups.bmp$

Add a user to all of the selected applications.
