Configuring Design and Manufacturing Configuration Planning

You can change values of properties that are used to configure properties for Design and Manufacturing Configuration Planning, which is an optional component of Variant Management.

See Properties for Design and Manufacturing Configuration Planning.

  1. Create or open the text file for customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To change the default business object type for manufacturing plans, follow these steps:

    You only need to set this property if you defined additional types of manufacturing plans and want to define one of those as the default.

    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      DMCPlanning.ManufacturingPlanDerivation.DefaultType = type_ManufacturingPlan

    2. Change type_ManufacturingPlan to the symbolic name of the type that you defined.
  3. To change which states in the Manufacturing Plans policy are considered Frozen states (that is, when the plan reaches that state it is frozen from further changes), follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      DMCPlanning.FrozenStates.type_ManufacturingPlan = policy_ManufacturingPlan.state_Archived,policy_ManufacturingPlan.state_Release

    2. Delete any state that you do not want to be considered a Frozen state.
    3. Add new states to the value following this format:

      policy_POLICYNAME.state_STATENAME

      where:

      • POLICYNAME is the name of the policy that controls the manufacturing plan's lifecycle. By default, it is Manufacturing Plan. If you defined alternate policies, use the name of your policy.
      • STATENAME is the state in the policy that should be considered a Frozen state.

  4. When you are finished updating the text file with all properties that you want to modify, use the text file to modify the emxdmcplanning.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
