Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON I-PLM Collaborative Innovation

  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R19 SP8.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R20 SP3.
  Additional Closure Information:
  with old algorithm, the creation of a filterred PVR was
  leading to fully expand the whole assembly,
   even in case of a PVR on a tiny subpart of the assembly.
  This was leading to high memory
  consumption and CPU usage, both on server side to build the
  expand message, then in CATIA to decode
  this message. In some extreme cases, we reached the limits
  and creation of PVR was failing.
  .
  A new algorithm was developped and implemented :
  We now analyse the PVR scope, identify the pertinent branches
  to be used to
  create/synchronize this PVR. Once this key step is done, we
  can ask for a limitated expand of the
  assembly, focusing only on a small branch, and so improving
  performance and avoiding to reach the
  computer limits This new algorithm replaces the old one, for
  all PVR creation and synchronization.
  .
  By-pass: Use some pertinent filter to create the PVR, in
  order to reduce the size of the
  filterred assembly. This can be done eg with some Volume
  filter
