Hi Mithun,
Multi Customer Solutions are not designed to distribute customer specific versions designed only for a specific customer.
Having said that, at some point you have to deliver the complete code to all customers eventually (assuming you dodn not want to leace one customer on an old patch version forever).
Thus to achieve different behaviour you have to use Scoping or other methods of configuration to disable specific features for other customers.
If the requirements differ in such a way that you cannot handle them in one solution (either using scoping or other custom configuration screens/BOs) then Multi Customer Solutions are the wrong tool and Solution Templates in combination with customer specific solutions might be better suited.
Now to answer your question:
- Differnet requirements coming from different customers need to be delivered to all customers (unless you want to keep a specific customer on an old patch version forever), Thus you might have to disable some features at some customers (via scoping, by not assigning the work centers or using other means).
- When you create a patch solution you ususally have control over whether and when you deploy this patch at which customer. However you cannot create branches for specific customers.
- Patch management for MCS works different from patch management for CSS as that you do not have two versions in the same development system.
You have one solution in you development system where you can download and assemble a zip file from. This will close this solution until you re-open it to create a patch. Thus this is equivalent to the solution you do development in using the CSS development aproach.
The zip file then can be uploaded to various customer tenants. At the customer tenant you only have the following options:
* upload a specific zip
* (re-)activate solution.
So these solutions are not changeable. To deliver changes, you have to open the patch solution in your development system, apply changes, download zip and upload/activate at customer tenant.
I hope this cleared up some questions.
Best regards,
Ludger
