Documentation

Definition

Character string that identifies a context.

Use

For different organizational units and phases, you can use specific data to describe an object. Since the context also contains validity data, you use it to create a reference to either time or parameters (such as a range of serial numbers).

Dependencies

You can map and control complex change processes that need to be organized across multiple organizational units by using a context hierarchy.
