Setting Up Library Migration and Using a Library

You can search and import resources from the Library. The standard Catalog Browser has been enhanced to operate on Libraries. This can be used to open a Library, view its contents, and instantiate classified items

This page discusses:

Setup Resource Tables

You can have a scenario with Resources. An Administrator imports the resource catalog from win_b64 / startup / DELMIAHeavyIndustry / Manufacturing / MGO_PRM.3dxml.

Catalog and Adopting a Library Depending on Data Setup

See Editing, Duplicating, Upgrading, and Deleting Resource Tables in Installation and Setup, Customize, 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Behavior, Data Setup, Resource Tables.

ActionRule Library resources are added to Manufacturing Planning Resources.

Depending on Data Setup, these commands work based on the Action Rules Catalog or Action Rules Library.

  • Generate MBOM.
  • Synchronization Manager.
  • Persistent Filter.
  • Naming Rule.

About the Library

You can use Libraries classify standard objects according to user-defined attributes. A Library consists of Classes, which categorize the objects in the Library hierarchy. Items are the actual objects that they manage.

A Catalog is a tree structure consisting of the following elements:

  • Chapters: A chapter references other chapters or items. Use to classify items by category.
  • Items: An item is a reference to an external document or PLM Object. Items describe them with keyword values.
  • Keywords: A keyword is an attribute describing a chapter or item. The Librarian can associate keywords to a chapter or item, and assign keyword values to each item. Search by keyword values to filter its content.

Using the Manufacturing Planning Resource DataSet

After Manufacturing Planning Resource is imported from the startup or there is the existing DataSet, it is able to upgrade the Manufacturing Planning Resources. Do this by using the context menu and selecting Upgrade the selected Resource Table.

Then Library entries are added to Manufacturing Planning Resource resource set and you can specify Library objects to Action Rules Library entries.

Between Action Rule Catalog and Action Rule Library, Library has higher priority.

  • When only Library is specify in Data Setup, commands work based on Library.
  • When both are specify in Data Setup, commands work based on Library.
  • When only Catalog is specify in Data Setup, commands work based on Catalog.

And all functions, which use Catalog work also with Library together.

ResourceIdentifier Keyword for Catalog

To have consistency in an object finding a mechanism from the Catalog, catalogs have a Type keyword that is now ResourceIdentifier. This replaces by this classification attribute in the Library. Type keyword is supported in the catalog, but ResourceIdentifier attribute has to be used in the library.

  • Action Rule Library - Original Catalog.

    Before converting Action Rule Catalog to Action Rule Library, change Type keyword to ResourceIdentifier keyword (Changed Action Rule Catalog).

ResourceIdentifier Classification Attribute for Library

Keywords used in the Catalog replace by the corresponding classification attributes in the Library.

  • Action Rule Library - Keywords used in the Catalog are replaced by corresponding classification attributes in the Library.

    Table 1. Classification Attributes
    Item Name ResourceIdentifier
    Product Of Creation ActionRule GenMBOM_Creation
    Product Of Attribute ActionRule GenMBOM_Attribute
    Product Of NamingRule GenMBOM_Naming
    Product Of Filter Check_Persistent_Filter

To declare the corresponding classification attributes in the server;

  1. Go to IP Classification app and enter Attribute Group Maintenance.
  2. Create an Attribute Group by selecting Create New and fill out the Create New Attribute Group Dialog dialog box.
  3. Create ResourceIdentifier Classification Attribute. If the ResourceIdentifier attribute is existing, this step fails but it is able to add the existing attribute to your attribute group.

Generating a Library from a Catalog

For Library usage, it is best to generate a Library from the existing catalog.



Select Generate new Library Structure. A new library structure generates if the corresponding classification attribute exists.
