UCM - Redeployment Requirements for a Parcel UCM Carrier |
Scroll |
Overview
Changes made to a UCM carrier in UCM may require the carrier to be redeployed in Parcel. However, there are a number of changes that can be made to UCM carriers which do not require redeployment. For example, changes to objects that are strictly for internal use within the UCM application itself do not require redeployment. The following sections describe which modifications to UCM require redeployment and which ones do not.
Global Elements that can be changed on all object types without requiring redeployment include the following:
•Scripts attached to objects
•Descriptions of objects
•Label, EDI, and Report text
Additionally, any changes to the following objects do not require redeployment:
•Artifacts
•Events
•Geographic Codes
•Label Templates
•Scripts
•Tracking Number Generators
Notes:
•To redeploy an existing UCM carrier in Parcel, open UCM, select the carrier to display the carrier screen, and then click [Deploy]. See the UCM Help for more information on this process.
•Changes requiring redeployment are typically those that update the Parcel database or the XML configuration file for the UCM carrier.
