Pre-Requisites to using HOPEX NAF
The HOPEX NAF contains a feature that allows users to create and manage alternative versions of objects and models. This is the variation feature.
Variants are used to describe objects and models differently from the reference model or object or to make updates to objects and models over time.
Variants inherit the elements of the object from which they derive. Inherited elements are displayed in the navigation tree with an inheritance arrow next to them.
To activate variations:
Click the main menu and select Settings > Options > HOPEX Solutions > Common Features > Activate variations.For more information on variations, see HOPEX Common Features, "Handling Repository Objects", "Object Variations".
In the HOPEX NAF, variants can be used for processes, more particularly, in NOV-5, NOV-6c and NSV-4. See:
