Updating Third-Party Notices Across Inventory for a Project

Project Analysts can have Code Insight automatically update each inventory item in a project with the item’s appropriate third-party notices content obtained directly from the Revenera Data Library. The Analyst can choose to update the notices text for every inventory item in the project or for only those inventory items with an empty Notices Text field. When this feature is run, existing notices text for an inventory item is overwritten.

When initiated, the notices update is scheduled in the Code Insight Jobs queue.

Note:Code Insight also provides the option to update the Notices Text field manually for individual inventory items. For more information, see Finalizing the Notices Text for the Notices Report.

To initiate a notices update across all inventory in a project, do the following:

1.

As a Project Analyst, navigate to the Summary tab (see Opening the Project Summary Tab).

2.

From the Manage Project menu, select Update Notices.

Note:The Update Notices menu option is temporarily disabled whenever a scan, rescan, Project Copy, Project Branch, or another Update Notices job is in progress or scheduled for the current project. Once these jobs complete (check the Jobs queue), the Update Notices menu option is re-enabled so that you can initiate the notices update process.

3.

From the Update Notices dialog, select either option:

•

Update only if empty—Only those inventory items in the project with an empty Notices Text field are updated with notices text retrieved for the component version from the Revenera Data Library. Inventory items with existing content in their Notices Text field are skipped during the update.

•

Overwrite all—All inventory items in the project are updated with the appropriate notices text retrieved from the Revenera Data Library. Any existing content in the Notices Text field is overwritten.

4.

Click OK to initiate the update process. The success message “Update Notices job triggered with ID: x” (where x is the job ID) is displayed in the upper right of the screen.

5.

To track the status of the Update Notices job, open the Jobs queue and locate the job ID. See Monitoring the Code Insight Jobs Queue for complete instructions on accessing and monitoring the Jobs queue.

Note the following about Update Notices jobs in the Jobs queue:

•

When Update Notices jobs for other projects are triggered concurrently with your job, the first Update Notices job triggered is in the Active state in the Jobs queue. The remaining Update Notices jobs are placed in a Scheduled state and are run based on the scheduled order.

•

If a PDL Update (Electronic Update) or Library Refresh job is currently is progress, all Update Notices jobs after the start of the PDL Update or Library Refresh job are placed in a Scheduled state. Once the job is finished, the Update Notices jobs are run based on the scheduled order.
