9.3   Distribution Wizard

The Distribution Wizard is a tool for managing services and rating period configuration across multiple ERE instances available in the navigator. Services or selections trees can also be deleted from several ERE instances simultaneously. If a selection tree is to be distributed to an ERE instance which has no matching rating plan and service provider, these are automatically created.

Distributing configuration to ERE instances which contain elements with the same name will overwrite the content in the destination ERE instance.

The wizard analyzes if it is possible to do the distribution before starting. This information is shown in the panel under each ERE instance in the wizard.

The wizard may be opened in several different ways, depending on where in RMA the user is currently working. The different ways are:

• While having the desired service definition or rating period selected in the navigator window, choose Distribute… from the rating manager menu.
• While having the desired service definition or rating period selected in the navigator window, choose Delete from several EREs from the navigator window
• When working in the selection tree editor, choosing Save to multiple EREs.

In the wizard, the ERE instance on which the selected service or rating period is configured is called an Associated ERE. All other ERE instances in the navigator are Other EREs.

The actions that are available in the wizard may depend on the solution in which ERE is implemented. See the documentation that accompanies the solution for more detail.
