Release MetaDefinitions

The releasing of MetaDefinitions can easily be done by using the ACM Manager.

1. Open the ACM Manager.
   
   
2. Select in the tree view the Context you want to release the MetaDefinitions for.
   Select the Context
   
   
3. You can verify the current Status of MetaDefinitions in the Object Explorer on the right hand:
   • The field MetaDefinitionsXML shows the MetaDefinitions persisted in the database. This data is used by the WebService as well. If this field is empty, no data is persisted.
   • The field MetaDefinitions shows the temporary calculated MetaDefinitions in the current session. Initially this field is always empty.
     
     
4. Trigger a recalculation of the MetaDefintions (according the configuration in ACM) by pressing Evaluate Temporary Meta Definitions.
   Evaluate Temporary Meta Definitions
   
   
5. Verify the result in the field MetaDefinitions.
   • This field may not be empty any more.
     
     
6. If you are happy with it, you can release the MetaDefinitions by pressing 'Release Meta Definitions'.
   Release Meta Definitions
   
   
7. You will get a MessagBox informing about the status of the operation.
   
   
8. The field MetaDefinitionsXML shows the new MetaDefinitions now, the file field MetaDefinitions is empty again.
