Such a path is like: \\server name\share Version A "version" of TraceParts is a number that correspond to the state of TraceParts(in terms of application and content) at the time of its delivery. Each version has a unique number. Notes: Two differents version numbers means that the two versions are different (e.g: 2.5.0 and 2.5.1) When a service pack exists for a version, letters "SP" are added to the version number followed by the number of the service pack (e.g: 2.3.5.SP3). This becomes another version (version 2.3.5.SP3 is different from version 2.3.5) At this time, the current TraceParts version is version 2.5.3. Versions and products: Each "product" ("LEGRIS" for example) can exists in different versions("LEGRIS v242", "LEGRIS v251"). [ Back to the top ]
