Released only database???

Released only database???

Using Pro/intralink 3.4 only/specifically what are the ideas around having
two databases? one would be a dynamic sandbox while the other would be for
released items only. How do you replicate from the junk database the
released items only to the other database. Specifically if you got a
family table how do you choose the items in the family? do you choose the
latest family or the latest released of each family member. How does a
family table react when the common space only has the latest released items.

besides the theoretical problems, I am wondering if this is actually done
in practice at some company right now. Was it ever done before. I know you
can replicate databases, but what I want is to pick/choose from one
database only the items that are released and I want it to magically work
without failures/missing items and such.

I'm probing for reaction to this idea or reaction to an actual install. Did
it work out? was a fiasco? was it nice first and then it became a typical
ptc fiasco later? Tell me tell me, I am all ears today.

Alfonso

PS, not that Im too interested in this so don't sell me anything please....
How has the need to filter to latest released only been addressed on
windchill 10? has it been addressed in windchill 9? I
ask rhetorically because I know out of the box these two always give you
junk in the real world applications. Just think of the thousands of files I
will have to deal with and their dependencies and parameters, how will
those play out in a move to get me pristine "latest released" items if I am
a sales rep with windchill access.

Alfonso,

An important concept of a database is that you can filter on every
parameter you use. So in your example there would be a parameter
"released" with options "yes" or "no", and you would simply filter on
that parameter. So the concept of making two databases is rather silly.
Unless you mean two 'virtual' databases?
