HC94102: TEAM PDM: CGM FILE NOT UPDATED ON RELEASE OR CHECK-OUT OF A DRAWING

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible.

Error description

• TEAM PDM: CATIA Viewer .cgm not updating upon release OR
  CHECK-OUT
  
  Scenario:
  1.Prior to starting. Map Revision attribute in Smarteam
  to Revision in CATIA Drawing. Also set revision to start at
  a.0 and not blank in sequence designer
  2.Create new CATIA Drawing
  3.File Save and name drawing
  4.Then Smarteam Save creates metadata for drawing and
  sheet.
  Can also now view the CATIA Drawing using the Smart IE
  Viewer in Smarteam
  5.Revision has not been updated yet in titleblock
  6.Do Load properties from Database in CATIA via Team PDM
  menu and now Titleblock shows Revision "a.0"
  7.Do another Team PDM save and check-in.
  a.If I view the drawing in Smarteam it shows the a.0
  revision in the viewer
  8.Now edit & checkout the drawing so revision goes to a.1
  a.Drawing opens in CATIA and Revision parameter in title
  block says a.1
  b.If I view the drawing in Smarteam it still shows the old
  revision a.0
  c.Do a Team PDM/Properties/Save in Data Base
  d.Now view in Smarteam again. CGM file is now updated and
  viewer now shows the a.1 revision
  9.From Team PDM menu release the drawing and hit ok to all
  prompts
  a.Drawing gets moved to release vault and released at
  revision a
  b.View the drawing in Smarteam it still shows the revision
  as being a.1 and not a
  c.Do a File Operation View from Smarteam and launch the
  drawing in CATIA in read only mode. The title block shows
  Revision parameter at revision a which is correct
  10.This is very confusing for the end user. The meta data
  on the profile card says a drawing is released and at
  revision 'a' The actual CATIA drawing also shows that its at
  revision 'a' if its viewed in CATIA. (File operation -> View
  from Smarteam)
  However, the .cgm file which the viewer is using does not
  get updated upon release. It seems like .cgm only gets
  updated on a Team PDM save operation from point 8 above. On
  a release operation Smarteam updates the title block i.e.
  loads the properties, but seems like a Smarteam save
  operation is not done after that event.
  This needs to be done to avoid the inconsistency in the
  different views.
