7.8. New index for variants

If geometric variants were created manually (e.g. via the Create variant icon), their fingerprints and topology information are now included in the index and can thus be found using Geometric search (3D).

However, precondition is that the variants have an ERP_PDM_NUMBER.

Furthermore the following config entry is precondition (what is the case as of V12 by default):

$CADENAS_SETUP/geomsearch.cfg 

CreateFingerprintsForErpLines=1

For the variants with modified variables, the fingerprints and topology information are stored in separate indexes:

  • erp_geoindexv2 (fingerprints)

  • erp_topoindex (topology information)

  • and erp_partial (partial information)

These indexes are updated with the LinkDB index update.

Some further information:

  • An ERP line becomes part of this index, if the original line is not indexed (for example, because only 1% of lines are indexed) or if value range fields differ.

  • Index exists for geo search, topo search, partial search and GeoDb. The indexes are build in the same way as respective indexes of Not-ERP lines.

  • Can be deactivated via geomsearch.cfg -> [settings] -> CreateFingerprintsForErpLines=0

  • Index is also generated when LinkDB index is created.

  • The index at common/erp now contains additional information about which ERP lines are part of the variant index. The index created in V12 cannot be read by V11 if CreateFingerprintsForErpLines=1, but the other way round is possible.
