Process of editing mappings between ECLASS Releases
There are generally three forms of mapping in ECLASS. There are mappings between...
- two ECLASS versions
- Basic and Advanced
- ECLASS and other standards
The following guide explains the process of editing mappings between ECLASS Releases. The reason to write such a guide is the following: It is not uncommon for CCs to be split into two successor CCs during the release process. However, the user may subsequently request that a CC has to be split into more than two classes, which was not part of the original change request. It is therefore necessary to identify a method for making subsequent adjustments to the mappings.
Example case: Split CC
As illustrated in the attached screenshot, the CC “27-14-11-20 Feed-through terminal block” was initially split into two successor CCs, which are “27-25-01-01 Feed-through terminal” and “27-25- 01-02 multi-level terminal block”. The two CCs “27-25-01-18 Potential distribution block” and “27- ECLASS Guide 30: Mapping Plan between Releases Version: 1.0 Date: 28.11.2024 4 25-01-19 Potential distribution terminal” have been newly created. However, the two classes also originate from source 27-14-11-20. The missing mapping information should now be able to be added to the mapping afterwards. Going forward, the ability to correct or adjust mappings between releases will be a key functionality.
Other examples:
- User removes a Property from a Class and adds a new Property to the Class instead of requesting a CR of type “Replace Property”
- The replace information is missing and needs to be added to the mapping afterwards)
Other reasons for editing mappings:
- External standards
- Corrections between Basic and Advanced
