  Abstract:
   EPMR: Replace revision and dependencies
  .
  Operating System:  WindowsNT Intel V4 SP5
  Product Group:  CATIA V5R6 Base on WinNT/2000
  Showstopper: YES
  Regression: NO
  Recommended Fixes Installed: YES
  .
  Environment:
  Windows NT4 SP6, V5R6 GA, TeamPDM 4.0.03, SmDemo.gdb
  .
  Problem Description:
  Launch CATIA and connect to SmDemo.gdb as joe
  File/open Product_Matrice.CATProduct
  TeamPDM/Save for create all profil card
  TeamPDM/Life Cycle/Release for released all documents
  Search the part CopPneu_V5R3.CATPart and File
  Operation/Edit
  Double clickon Revolution1 and modify the angle value
  TeamPDM/Life Cycle/Release for create release a of
  CopPneu_V5R3.CATPart
  Search Product_Matrice.CATProduct and File Operation/Edit
  Make a New Release for all components except
  CopPneu_V5R3.CATPart replaced by its release a.
  In the matrice, verify that the dependencie link with
  CopPneu_V5R3.CATPart is pointed to the release a.
  Update the Product in CATIA and TeamPDM/Save.
  In SmarTeam on this Product, make LifeCycle/release for
  create release a for Product_Matrice.CATProduct.
  File Operation/Edit on Product_Matrice release a.
  We want pointed to the first release of
  CopPneu_V5R3.CATPart
  We need to replace CopPneu_V5R3 release a by CopPneu_V5R3
  on composition links and also on dependencies links but
  it isn't possible.
  When we have replaced all the release a for CopPneu_V5R3,
  we obtain a message that we have two release for
  Matrice_DS2.CATPart because we have a dependencie link
  between pneu and matrice.
  I send you all documents necessary to reproduce this
  problem.

  Customer is very blocked by this problem and can't
  continue to use this product at this time.
  Can you correct this problem soon as possible please,
  thank you

Problem summary

•  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
   When the user defines his options in the check out panel, he
   wants to get two versions of the part (CopneuV5R3 .catpart)
   The revision a version and the 'no revision' version.That's
   not possible because that would means that Smarteam must copy
  the same file two times in the work directory.Howe ver Catia
  won't accept to have the same document opened twice in the same
  session
  
  TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE RESTRICTION:
  
  A simple bypass for this problem is to check in the check out
  panel that only one revision of an object is using. By default
  if all the files are linked by hierarchical links ( as in
  SMCAtiadeMO db) there is no problem because performing a 'switch
  to selected revision' on one composition of the part updates all
  the compositions.MAy be hierarchical and logical links are mixed
  because there is a problem of updating a version with parts that
  are linked by a logical links.  Another APAR should have been
  sended to SmartSolutions concerning these revisions and
  dependancies problem ( it is the APAR HC82218 from PMR 47019).
  We recommand to use hierarchical links beetween two parts in the
  case of geometry dependance.
