About Logical to Physical Synchronization Manager

In the Logical to Physical Synchronization Manager dialog box, there are four different lists.

Elements

In the Elements list, all the elements to be synchronized are listed in the form of tree structure. The physical elements to be created are displayed as children of the element in which they will be placed after synchronization.

The equipment to be placed, for which physical aggregating product is not known, is added under a separate node Unknown along with it connectors.

Some elements are listed in the Elements list only if its children need to be displayed and synchronized. Some elements which are not to be synchronized are displayed to maintain the tree structure. The elements with status New are displayed with temporary name because the name of physical created after synchronization may be different. Example: electrical branch geometry, branches, segments.

Modification

The Modification list provides the details of the modification to be performed on the selected element during synchronization.

  • New: states that the element is to be created in physical.
  • Modified: states that selected element exists in physical but modified.
  • Deleted: states that the physical elements do not have links with any logical elements.
  • Warning: states that the elements cannot be synchronized due to missing or incorrect dependencies/information.
  • Refused by BR: states that the synchronization of the element is refused by the business rule.
  • Unknown: states that the modification information of an element could not be computed.
  • Replace: states that the physical elements are to be replaced with the instance of a new reference due to change in Part Number.

Status

The Status list shows the validation you performed in form of status.

The different status for elements are:

  • Accepted: for the elements to be synchronized.
  • Rejected: for the elements not to be synchronized.
  • To validate: for the elements which are to be created and aggregating product is unknown.

    You cannot synchronize the element unless its status is Accepted or Rejected.

User Comments

In the User Comments list, you can add the comments about the modification of elements during synchronization. The user comment about the element will be added to the synchronization report, if generated.

Filters

The Logical to Physical command works with filters to sort the data systematically.

The filters are provided as a first row for each column except User Comments list.

  • In the Elements list, you can enter a string to sort the elements by name.
  • In the Modification list, you can sort the elements by selecting any one of the option available in the list. The list contains all the modification status.
  • In the Status list, you can sort the elements according to their acceptance or rejected status.

The combination of all these filters also can be used to filter out elements.

About Equipment Placement

You can instantiate the physical equipment from the logical by setting the father manually.

The equipment is displayed in an analysis page list as a separate element with a warning and a status To Validate. You may select the product in the physical tree where items of equipment needs to be placed.

Right-click the selected element and select Set father. Then select the product in which the item of equipment is desired. The Logical to Physical Synchronization Manager dialog appears with status To Validate.
