    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    You can maintain only one active version of the specification. When you retire or archive a specification version, you can't do the following actions:
    • Update the specification version.
    • Use it to create other catalog entities or rules such as product offerings, specification relationships, attribute mappings, or decomposition rules.

    You retire or archive service and resource specification versions in the same manner.

    Nota:
    To archive a specification version, you must first retire it.
