--- - -## Multi-Assignments (beta) - -One of the main paradigms of Eclipse hawkBit is, that a Distribution Set represents the currently installed software of -a device. Hence, a device can have only one Distribution Set assigned/installed at a time. With _Multi-Assignments_ -enabled, this paradigm shifts. Multi-Assignments allows to assign multiple Distribution Sets to a device simultaneously, -without cancelling each other. As a consequence, an operator can trigger multiple campaigns addressing the same devices -in parallel. - -### Action weight - -To differentiate between important and less important updates a property called _weight_ is used. When multi-assignments -is enabled every action has a weight value between (and including) 0 and 1000. The higher the weight the more important -is the assignment represented by the action. Also when defining a _rollout_ or an _auto-assignment_ and -multi-assignments is enabled a weight value has to be provided. This value is passed to the actions created during the -execution of these _rollouts_ and _auto-assignments_. If no weight was provided the highest value of 1000 is used -instead. - -### Consequences - -While this feature provides more flexibility to the user and enables new use-cases, there are also some consequences one -should be aware of: - -**Critical** - -* This feature is in beta and may change unannounced. -* For now, this feature is **opt-in only**. Once activated, it cannot be deactivated. - -**Minor** - -* While on DMF-API a MULTI_ACTION request is sent, DDI-API only exposes the next action which has the highest priority - in the list of open actions(according to their weight property). -* All information regarding the currently assigned or installed Distribution Set does only respect the last assignment, - as well as the last successfully installed Distribution set. This also affects: - * Pinning a target or Distribution Set in Deployment View. - * Statistics about installed or assigned Distribution Sets. -* Auto close running actions, when a new Distribution Set is assigned (`repository.actions.autoclose.enabled`) is - deactivated. -* Marking a Distribution Set to be a *Required Migration Step* is deactivated.
