7.5. New index for variants

If geometric variants have been created manually (e.g. via icon Create variant), their fingerprints and topology information is now also included into the index and so can be found via 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 line are indexed) or if value range fields differ.

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

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

  • Index is also generated when LinkDB index is created.

  • Now the index under common/erp contains additional information, which ERP line are part of the variant index. The index generated in V12 cannot be read by V11, if CreateFingerprintsForErpLines=1, but vice versa it is possible.
