Selective push of line items through ALM

Hello fellow Anaplaners,

 

I was wondering if it would be possible to selectively push line items/modules while synching models through ALM? The idea is - I would like to setup a master model and then migrate only the required functionalities/calculations to two different target models. With this setup, I will have to design and configure only once in the Master model. And then push to either both or one of the target models as per the need.

Any thoughts? I am also open to other alternate solutions without the use of ALM.

 

Thanks,

Espo

    Hello Rob,

     

    Thank you for the quick response. Is there anything on the road map for selective migration using ALM? And I agree, going from 2 'source' models to a single 'target' model would be an issue. I am trying to achieve 1 master source to multi-target models.

     

    Another approach was - Would it be possible to create delete actions (or processes) 'on the fly' based on a mapping module. If so, I could first sync from source to target (say Model A), and then run a wrapper process which deletes the items not needed for Model A. What are your thoughts? 

     

    Thanks!

    Hello @usman.zia 

     

    Thank you for your inputs. Definitely agree on the complexity of maintenance while using the revision tags and restore points approach. I believe the frequency of changes will be slightly high too, so it is not ideal. It will lead to quite a lot of 'branching' in the Master model.

     

    As for the use case, here is a short summary - A Master (Sales Compensation) model has many components that are applicable to both or one of the target models (A & B). [Please note that actual implementation may contain more than 2 target models].

    To reduce space and avoid confusion among end-users, we would like to move only target specific components while sync'ing from Master to A/B.

     

    We are able to handle Data wise segmentation via subsets and selective import actions. The challenge is in the functionality/calculations transfer.

     

    Thanks,

    Espo

    Additionally, I was exploring if Line Item Subsets can be leveraged somehow for this. Do you know if line item subset selections (for the constituent line items) can be made 'dynamic', as in driven by a formula?
