About Configuration Dictionary

This section describes about import of a configuration dictionary(that is, model structure).

In 3DEXPERIENCE platform data model for configuration dictionary following objects are supported for XPDMXML import:

  • Model
  • Product
  • Configuration Feature
  • Configuration Option

To import configuration dictionary and product structure with effectivity or config handler in one XPDMXML import, it is recommended to first import the configuration dictionary and then import the product structure with effectivity or config handler.

It is recommended to import configuration dictionary through single import. Please avoid importing configuration dictionary through multiple imports.

Notes:
  • You cannot import Manufacturing Plan, Build and Milestones elements.
  • The configuration dictionary data is always imported in following modes:
    • updateChildMode=IgnoreExistingNotProvided
    • updateObjectMode=AddUpdate
  • You can import only one product per model.
  • You cannot perform following actions through XPDMXML import.
    • updating a model with another product other than the existing product.
    • creating configuration feature with options in release state.
    • adding options when configuration feature is in release state.
    • creating a product in release state with configuration feature.
    • adding configuration feature when hardware product is in release state.
