2.10.1.1.11.  Update manager: Change target project / Show Geometrical similarity

For catalog status not yet prepared for automatic mapping (compare Section 6.10.2, “ Check ERP-Mapping (Add ERP-Mapping... and Edit ERP-Mapping...) ” in eCATALOGsolutions Manual), the Update manager is used in the LinkDB for projects/characteristics which cannot be assigned.

Call Update Manager if projects/characteristics cannot be assigned in the LinkDB

Call Update Manager if projects/characteristics cannot be assigned in the LinkDB

As of V11 SP3 two new features have been added for the Update Manager:

  • In the category Information, now Geometrical similarity is displayed in addition.

    In this example, the parameters D and L are identical, however, a geometrical difference is signalized. In such cases open old and new version in the Part comparison .

    The basic geometry is identical. However, the new version has two piston rings. If this is the official successor version, confirm by clicking on Approve assignment , otherwise click on Revoke assignment and save changes .

  • On project level, the context menu command Change target project has been added. You don't have to determine the new assignment line by line, but you can do this in one step.

    -> The dialog box Choose project is opened.

    In the index tree, select the desired project and confirm by clicking Choose.

Details on the Update Manager can be found under Section 4.16, “ Catalog update with ERP integration ” in PARTsolutions - Administration Manual.
