Protected mApp™ Solutions
Use a Protected mApp Solution to prevent content from being edited or deleted after a Protected mApp Solution is applied.
If a Protected mApp Solution is applied to CSM:
- The list of installed mApp Solutions shows which mApp Solutions are upgradable.
- A shield icon (
) is shown alongside protected
content items. The shield icon may be displayed in Blueprints, Business Object
Editors, Item Managers, Relationship Grids, Form Editors, the Form Arrangement
Editor or the Grid Editor.
- Save is disabled on any Item Manager that has a
shield icon () alongside it.
You can still make changes to the items in a Manager with a shield icon but you
must select
Save As to create a copy of the contents of the
Manager.
- A message is shown, for example, in a Blueprint:
You can also create your own Protected mApp Solutions that can be distributed just like non-upgradable mApp Solutions.
Important: When applying a
Protected mApp Solution
to your
CSM
system, the merge actions available to you depend on which items were chosen
for protection when the
mApp Solution was created. For example, if the
mApp Solution was marked as protected when it was created, then the existing
fields, relationships etc. can only be merged in the target system instead of
being overwritten.
