HD36825: STCAI : AFTER FIRST SAVE WHEN ST SCRIPT RENAMES ORIGINAL CATIA FILENAME, SOME HIERARCHICAL LINKS ARE NOT CREATED

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• STCAI : after first SAVE when ST script renames
  original CATIA filename, some hierarchical links
  are not created
  Prerequire:
  1.Work with cache in CATIA.
  2.Use attached database
  3.Copy the scripts from the attached
  zip to the Smarteam script directory.
  However only the script  xxxxx_SetDesc.bs  is
  needed for this scenario
  4.Copy the CATIA data files from the
  ZeusAssembly.zip to the Smarteam working
  directory
  Scenario:
  1.Launch CATIA
  2.Open ﾨZeus Main assembly.CATProductﾨ with
  CATIA File menu
  3.Connect to Smarteam from CATIA
  4.Select ﾨZeus Main assembly.CATProductﾨ  and
  save it to Smarteam in the Test ﾨTest DS CAIﾨ
  project using SMARTEAM/SAVE command (choose
  Link to project and Add to desktop).
  Note:
  Several messages of this type appear:
  *****************************************
  These invalid characters in the file name have been
  removed
  *****************************************
  This is a normal message from the customization, a
  warning in fact.
  ...
  But after that you see the defect, you get the
  SMARTEAM message:
  *****************************************
  Error No: 00012
  Internal Error. The program was unable to
  complete the operation due to an internal error.
  Please report the following details to your System
  Administrator: Wrong Class Handle. The Handle
  may not have been initialized for Class '-32767'
  ******************************************
  And then many CATIA reports like the following
  one:
  *****************************************
  The document E:\tmp\73783\Assembly\Battery
  Cover.CATPart hasn't been linked. see below:
  Object integration behavior in SmarTeam is:
  TDM_CATIA_PART,
  Object link behavior in SmarTeam is:
  TDM_CAT_PRODUCT_LNK.
  *****************************************

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA.
  Restriction explanation:
  File renaming is not supported during a SMARTEAM
  Save operation.
  As an example, SMARTEAM SaveUniqueFilename
  option is not supported.
  The reason is renaming non loaded CATIA does not
  update the link information on the pointed
  documents. This is a limitation of the product.
  The SetDesc script should create a name only if the
  file does not exist on file disk.
  For the case of files on disk which are imported into
  SMARTEAM, the file name cannot be changed. It is
  why it is adviced to modify the files names before
  trying to import them into SMARTEAM.
  A by pass is possible by performing a utility
  (batch/script) that performs a Send To on the
  documents to be renamed. This is the only way to
  guarantee the integrity of the data.
