Information group deployment

Information group can be deployed using Perfion Deployment. This step op the wizard allows the user to select which information groups should be deployed.

Selection

The wizard page for information group selection is shown below.

Open

The selection list contains all information groups declared in the source system. Multiple information groups can be selected.

Top view groups, view groups and groups are separated into separate tabs.

Required information groups

Information groups can be required when selecting feature definitions for deployment. Required information groups are automatically resolved, checked and greyed out in the selection list. The required information groups cannot be unchecked.

Matching in target system

Information groups are matched the information groups in the target system. Since information groups has no clear identifier, they are match by their localizable values. The matching languages selected in the deployment settings, are used for this. They dictate on which language variant the match should be done. When comparing the values, the comparison is done case insensitive. A match is true if just one if the language variants match. See example below.

Example 1

Matching language selected: EN, DE

Above example will match.

Example 2

Matching language selected: EN, DE

Above example will match.

Example 3

Matching language selected: DK

Above example will not match.

Group security

Information group security will be transferred together with the information group. These are attached to the information group and cannot be selected/deselected individually.

When transferring the security settings, they are considered as one object, meaning all will be transferred together. The transfer is done in the following steps.

1. Deletion of all security settings for the information group in target system

2. Transfer all security settings for the information group from the source system.

   1. If the user that the security setting is configured for, does not exist in the target system, the security setting will not be transferred.

After deployment:

Data transfer

When information groups are transferred, all their localizable values are transferred. This also includes language variants that the target system does not have an active language for. The Perfion client handles this by just not showing the language variants that is not included in the active languages.

The matching language selected in the deployment settings does not affect the data transfer of the values. All values will be transferred even though the matching language is set only English.
