Chapter 9 Promotion Rights : Obtaining Promotion Rights to Tables

Obtaining Promotion Rights to Tables
Types of Promotion Rights
There are two types of promotion rights to tables:
Definition Rights
With definition rights, only you or another member of your group can change the definition of the table. Any changes you make affect people who access the table on that TIBCO Object Service Broker system, even before the table is promoted. When the table is promoted, only the definition is promoted and the rights are released.
Obtaining Definition Rights
You obtain definition rights by invoking the Table Definer with the definition name and saving the definition.
Data Rights
With data rights, only you or another member of your group can change the occurrences of the table. If the table is parameterized, only you or another group member can make changes to that table instance. Any changes you make affect people who access that table instance or table, even before the occurrences are promoted.
Obtaining Data Rights
You can obtain data rights for a TDS table by editing the object using the Table Editor and saving it, provided that:
A warning message is issued if you try to promote the data and someone else holds the definition rights. This is because the definition could have been modified to be incompatible with the target system. When objects are promoted in a source system the rights are released. In a target or remote promotion, no rights are involved.
Promotion Restrictions
You cannot promote system-supplied or shared tables; locking problems could result and some tables are used by the promotion system itself. To identify these tables, use the Browse Tables option from the developer’s workbench to browse the @SHARED_TABLES and the @PROM_SYS_TBLS tables.
When you define a table, the data is promotable by default. When you select a table to include in a change request, you can specify whether the table definition should be non-promotable. Refer to Selecting Tables for a Change Request for more information.
