HD95323: SMARTEAM SAVE ON SOLIDWORKS ASSEMBLY SOMETIMES FAILS WITHOUT ERR OR. THIS RESULTS IN MISSING TREE LINKS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Scenario :-
  Configurations of SmarTeam:
  - Option 'Save derived configurations' in SmarTeam SolidWorks
  integration is disabled.
  - Create first part and save to SmarTeam (SWP-0405.sldprt,
  Active part)
  - Create second part and save to SmarTeam (SWP-0406.sldprt,
  Suppressed part)
  - Create assembly, insert both SMP-0405.sldprt and
  SWP-0406.sldprt.
  - Suppress part SWP-0406.sldprt in assembly
  - Create derived configuration in assembly, but reactivate
  default configuration.
  - Save assembly to SmarTeam (SWA-0113.sldasm, Assembly with
  derived config and suppressed part)
  - Check-in assembly and parts.
  - Open assembly read-only. The active part will also be
  copied to the workdirectory, but the suppressed part not.
  - Select the suppressed part in the SolidWorks feature
  manager tree, and click the 'Open' icon. The SmarTeam
  integration will detect the missing file and will ask if it
  should look for it in the SmarTeam database. Choose 'Yes'.
  The suppressed part is copied from the vault and   opened in
  SolidWorks
  - Close the assembly and the part.
  - Delete the file of the suppressed part using the Windows
  Explorer, not the SmarTeam File Explorer!
  - The suppressed part will be marked 'Absent' in the SmarTeam
  File Explorer.
  - Open the assembly.
  - Switch to the DMT. Only the assembly is shown.
  - Click on the assembly in the DMT using the right mouse
  button and choose 'Refresh.
  - The tree is now complete [This is Current Result]
  Note:-The number of times you have to refresh the DMT is
  dependent on the number of suppressed components in the
  assembly.
