Release MetaDefinitions

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

1. Open Tools → ACM Manager or press F11
2. Select the Context you want to release the MetaDefinitions for in the tree view.
   
3. You can verify the current status of MetaDefinitions in the Object Explorer on the right hand side:
   • The field MetaDefinitionsXML shows the MetaDefinitions persisted in the database and used by the Web Service 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 to the configuration in ACM) by pressing Evaluate Temporary Meta Definitions.
   
5. Verify the result in the field MetaDefinitions, which should not be empty anymore
6. If the results are as expected, release the MetaDefinitions by pressing Release Meta Definitions.
   
7. A message box will show up informing you about the status of the operation.
8. The field MetaDefinitionsXML shows the new MetaDefinitions, the field MetaDefinitions is empty again.
