You don't need to unset the DataHandler (TCE_main) object in between 
operations. Calling ->start() will initialize the object enough to work 
with the new command or data array.

Some commands will create new records (version, localize, NEW record in 
the data map) and you need to use the uid's of those records to modify 
those records.

So, if you execute the localize command a new record is created. For 
most tables it's a record in the same table, for pages for example it's 
a record in the overlay table.

Once you've called start() it's no use changing the data in the array. 
Those changes will not be used in process_datamp() and process_cmdmap()

process_cmdmap() will do what's in the second parameter of start(): the 
commands
process_datamap() will do what's in the first parameter of start(): the 
new or modified data

So the order is:
- fill data or command array
- call ->start()
- call process_data/cmdmap

In your case:
- fill command array (version and localize can be in one array)
- call start()
- call process_cmdmap()
- find localized record
- fill data array and empty command array
- call start()
- call process_datamap()
