Product Dependency Constraints
Useful when customers use the Upgrade Planner, this indicates versions of other products that this release works with.
Version Constraint Behavior
Version constraint behavior works only on a given release line. You need to add individual dependency specifier rules for each different release lines that product depends.
| Choice | Definition |
|---|---|
| Float on a Version Line | Pick from the list of versions for the targeted product slug. This indicates any patch version of the dependency within the major version or minor specified is compatible with this release. For example, if you specify 4.1, you are indicating compatibility >= 4.1 and < 4.2. |
| Greater Than or Equal to a Patch Version | Pick from the list of versions for the targeted product slug. x.y.z Matches releases within the given minor that have the given patch number or greater. For example, if you specify 4.0.24, any version >= 4.0.24 and < 4.1.0 is compatible. |
Release Upgrade Constraints
Indicate previous releases of this product from which you can upgrade to this release. You need to add individual rows for each different release lines that product can upgrade from.
