Extract Claims/Releases

In order to modify an element in an extract, the element must be claimed to the extract. The principals of extract claiming are exactly the same as standard claiming (that is, the granularity of extract claims is at the level of primary elements).

Extract claims will work up through the extract levels, extract claiming as necessary (that is, you need not do a separate claim for each level of extract).

For example, consider a three level extract as follows:

If a user does an extract claim to the Working Extract the following logic will be used:

The extract claim may fail for the same reasons that a user claim may fail. In other words:

• Another user/extract has the item claimed

• The element is modified in a later version, hence a refresh is needed first.

Unlike user claims, extract claims stay with the extract across SAVEWORKs.

If a list of elements is extract claimed, and some in the list fail, then the remaining elements will still be extract claimed.
