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 / Process Planning.

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.

System Schema Library, Operation Library , and ActionRule Library resources are added to Process Planning Resources.

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

  • Generate Systems by Catalog.
  • Generate Operations by Catalog.
  • Automatic Resource Assignment.
  • 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 Process Planning Resource DataSet

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

Then Library entries are added to Process Planning Resource resource set and you can specify Library objects to corresponding library entries.

Between Catalog and 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 the Catalog

To have consistency in an object finding a mechanism from the Catalog, catalogs have a Type keyword that is ResourceIdentifier keyword, NewType, and a value for the objects. Type keyword is supported in the catalog, but ResourceIdentifier attribute has to be used in the library.

  • Action Rule Library - Original Action Rule Catalog.

    Before converting 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 Operation ActionRule GenOper_Operation
    Product Of System ActionRule GenOper_System
    Product Of Attribute ActionRule GenOper_Attribute
    Product Of Resource ActionRule ResAssignment_Resource
    Product Of Filter Check_Persistent_Filter
  • Operation Library -NewType keyword that was used in Operation Catalog is replaced by NewType classification attribute in the Library.

    Table 2. Classification Attributes
    Item Name ResourceIdentifier
    PPR Context_OperationCatalog 0
    PPR Context_OperationCatalogWithNewTypes 1

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.
  4. Create NewType Classification Attribute on 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.
