In cases where the functionality of child release, either cluster or custom like to override base functionality, there might be a need to skip the base functionality. RAD Generated code provides handlers to this as well and the kernel functionality can be skipped from Cluster and kernel/cluster can be skipped from custom releases.

For Example, let us say that the business logic in the function STPKS_STDCIFCR_KERNEL.Fn_Pre_Default_and_Validate is contradicting the business logic for Cluster, then the user has the option to skip the validation present in the Kernel. For this the user needs to call PR_SET_SKIP_KERNEL. After it bypasses, the user again needs to activate this flag by calling PR_SET_ACTIVATE_KERNEL. Else all the following functions in KERNEL will be bypassed.

Once the Skip is set in cluster and again activated, it skips both the functions in kernel namely, STPKS_STDCIFCR_KERNEL.Fn_Pre_Default_and_Validate and STPKS_STDCIFCR_KERNEL.Fn_Post_Default_and_Validate. If the requirement is that only the validations and logic in STPKS_STDCIFCR_KERNEL.Fn_Pre_Default_and_Validate be skipped then the other function STPKS_STDCIFCR_KERNEL.Fn_Post_Default_and_Validate needs to be called explicitly from the Cluster Package.

Similarly from Custom Package the validations in Kernel as well as Cluster can be bypassed.
