Creating a Runtime Version 
Creating a Runtime Version
Prerequisites
You have created a knowledge base object as a formal parentheses around the objects of a knowledge base.
When you create a runtime version, you collect all the objects that are in the knowledge base on a certain date.Procedure
1. Choose Knowledge base
® Runtime version ® Create. Enter the knowledge base object for which you want to create a runtime version, and enter a name for the version.2. On the next screen, enter the following data:
– The date for creating the runtime version
– The status of the runtime version
You cannot download runtime versions with the status In preparation or Locked to a PC.
– The language for language-dependent descriptions and documentation for objects (such as characteristics and dependencies) for the runtime version
If you do not enter a language, the descriptions and documentation are loaded in all languages.
We advise you to load descriptions in all languages, so that missing language-dependent descriptions do not cause errors.
– You can only create a version for one plant and one BOM application. For this reason, enter the plant and BOM application. The runtime version only reads the BOMs that are selected by the application.
– If you want to load actions for the configuration profile, set the Incl. actions indicator. These actions are automatically converted to procedures, so that you can define the sequence in which they are processed.
Actions and procedures for characteristics and characteristic values are never loaded. If you want to load these actions and procedures, reallocate them to the configuration profile.
3. Generate the runtime version. This collects the objects described under Objects of a runtime version.
If errors occur when generating the runtime version, you see an error message and the process is terminated.
