You can only use Update Files if you are a user of the ECLASS Standard and have both a source Release 14.0 and target Release 15.0.
The TUF (Transaction Update Files) for classes and properties contain the predecessor-successor-relationship of the changed classes and properties respectively in Release 15.0. In the several tables of the specific structural elements, all absolute changes are listed, i.e.
- all elements and relations that are no more part of Release 15.0
- all new elements and relations and
- all elements and relations that have been changed and marked with a new version.
For further information, please read Release Update Support.
The Update Files contain:
- RUF (Release Update Files) in csv format with a total of 9 files containing information on whether and how structural elements have changed (for classes and properties).
- CUF (Classification Update Files) are XML files that describe the class update between two consecutive ECLASS Releases, i.e. first of all the changes concerning Move/Split/Join.
- TUF (Transaction Update Files) are XML files that contain information, whether a user’s property valuations in his system are still valid in the new Release and which changes can be processed automatically.
