CPI Revision Information

Updating of the CPI follows the updating of the product. The CPI is dated, numbered, and contains clearly stated revision status. The procedure to produce and update the CPI follows the well-defined Ericsson standard. There are two ways to get CPI revision information:

Compare The Compare function in the Active Library Explorer compares two container files. It lists the documents that are new, changed, and removed.
Subscription to change notices A subscription to change notices is included in the CPI Extranet services included in the Ericsson E-business portal. When the CPI for a product presented in the CPI Extranet services is changed, a message is sent to the customer.
