Automatic RFA Updates

Instead of requiring users to manually run a Design Change Report to determine which designs need updating, you can set the DSCAutoRFAUpdate job to run at regularly-scheduled intervals.

For each execution, the program logs in ENOVIA and for each user:

  • Checks out the working set to get the list of files checked out to the RFA directory.
  • Runs the Design Change Report only on the files checkout in the RFA directory.
  • Adds each RFA link that needs to be updated to the IEF-AutoRFAUpdate attribute on the user's LCO.
  • Reports a success or error message.

When you log in X-CAD Design Management, if the designs are listed in the IEF-AutoRFAUpdate attribute in the LCO, the obsolete RFA links in the users RFA directory are updated. You see a progress bar until the process completes. After the update, the values in the IEF-AutoRFAUpdate attribute are deleted. For subsequent logins, the RFA update is not executed unless the automatic updater has run again and repopulated the IEF-AutoRFAUpdate attribute.

See Configuring Automatic RFA Updates for instructions.
