HD66574: CATPDMRECONCILEEV4BATCH DELETES INSTANCES FROM THE PSN.

APAR status

• Closed as user error.

Error description

• CATPDMReconcileEV4Batch deletes instances from
  the PSN.
  .
  Scenario :
  1 - From VPMA / Part, create and save Part ROOT,
  PART1, PART2 and PART3.
  2 - Paste PART1 and PART2 on ROOT
  3 - Attach any CATParts to PART1, PART2 and
  PART3
  4 - Exit from VPM. Launch the VPM batch server
  VX0XERV
  5 - Initialize your CATIAV5 environment
  6 - Export the structure using
  CATPDMExtractEV4Batch -part
  VPMENV.PART_LIST.ROOT -out /tmp -delete -
  connect VPM15 -user vpmadm15 -pwd vpmadm15 -
  role VPMADMIN
  7 - Launch VPM ; Paste PART3 on ROOT. Exit from
  VPM.
  8 - Launch CV5, open the file structure. Create a
  drawing and save it file based as
  DRAW1.CATDrawing
  9 - Launch the VPM batch server VX0XERV
  10-Initialize your CATIAV5 environment
  11-Reconcile with CATPDMReconcileEV4Batch -
  file /tmp/DRAW1.CATDrawing -structure -reload
  PART1 -reload PART2 -connect VPM15 -user
  vpmadm15 -pwd vpmadm15 -role VPMADMIN
  .
  Result : If you open VPM to check PSN of ROOT,
  you will see that PART3 has been removed from
  the structure.

Comments

• Incident Diagnosis :
  The behavior describes is the one documented,
  when we reconcile in structure exposed if an
  instance exists in ENOVIA and not in CATIA, it will
  be deleted.
  .
  Correct Application :
  Just bellow you will find an extract of reconciliatory
  V5R16 documentation: (in Simulating the
  Reconciliation chapter)
  .
  Simulating the reconciliation before applying it
  enables you to examine impacts and to re-adjust
  reconciliation rules if desired.
  .
  The simulation enables you to identify:
  - Identical instances
  - Modified positioning
  - The objects available only in CATIA that will be
  created when saving the result of the reconciliation
  transaction
  - The objects available only in the VPDM that will
  be deleted when saving the result of the
  reconciliation transaction
  .
  The reconciliation simulation is to be performed
  after the reconciliation rules have been defined.
  .
  In the Reconcile Window scrolling list, select the
  Compare view.
  The document loaded in the CATIA session is
  compared to the product structure stored in the
  VPDM vault. The Compare view presents a merged
  view of the CATIA and the VPDM product structure.
  This comparison enables you to identify the
  impacts of the reconciliation on the Product
  structure stored in the VPDM after applying the
  reconciliation.
  .
  The results are displayed in two places:
  In the List View where a new column Compare is
  displayed
  - New: The instance does not exist in the VPDM
  and is therefore considered as new.
  - Deleted: The instance does not exist in the
  product to reconcile and will be deleted from the
  VPDM.
  - Moved: The instance position will be modified.
  - Identical: Both documents (CATIA session and
  VPDM) are identical.
