APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• SCENARIO:
  Customer Scenario ???
  Set the SolidWorks.LoadPropertiesOnOpen = TRUE
  
  Create the following structure in SmarTeam
  . ASM-New (State New) containing
  . . PRT-CheckIn (State Checked In)
  . . PRT-New (State New)
  . DRW-New (State New)
  - In the Drawing, create a BOM-Table which contains the two
  Parts
  (Define "Part Number" and "Detail Description" in the BOM)
  - Modify the Detailed Description of all Objects in the
  SmarTeam Profile Card via context menu / Update and add for
  example "Modif"
  - Open the ASM-New to SolidWorks
  -> The Detailed Description of the Assembly is correctly
  modified, as the State of the Object is New
  => The message appears, that the SolidWorks Part has been
  modified and therefore should be CheckedOut! (this is not
  correct, as ReadOnly Objects are not taken into account by
  the Setting SolidWorks.LoadPropertiesOnOpen)
  - Open the Drawing to SolidWorks
  -> Information in the properties of the drawing are correctly
  updated
  -> The Information in the BOM for the PRT-New is correctly
  updated too
  => But the information for the CheckedIn Part should NOT be
  updated, as the Part has the State "CheckedIn".
  When opening the Drawing without the Assembly opened, the
  information concerning the modified CheckedIn Part appears.
  When performing now a Ctrl&Q, the information in the Drawing
  are updated
  => This is NOT expected for the ReadOnly Checked In Part.
  
  Simple Scenario ???
  - Set the SolidWorks.LoadPropertiesOnOpen = TRUE
  - Create Part and Save to SW.
  - Checkin that Part.
  - Modify the Detail Description in SmarTeam.
  - Open the Part in SolidWorks (Don???t Check Out)
  The message appears, that the SolidWorks Part has been
  modified.
  - Check the Properties of the Part, you will find the updated
  PLM Attributes for this Checked In (read Only) part.
  .
  As per ST-SW Integration Documentation, Getting into
  Production -> Mapping When Opening a Document - following
  note is mentioned,
  Note:  The SolidWorks.LoadPropertiesOnOpen key operates on
  checked-out documents only and does not affect read-only
  documents.
  RESULT:- It gives Modification Notification for Checked In
  Part (Read Only) Part.
  Also it updates the properties of Checked In part (Read Only
  part)
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:- It should not give Modification
  Notification for read Only Parts and should not Update the
  properties of Checked In part while opening in Solidworks.
