Master System

3DEXPERIENCE platform only receives X-PDM owned objects.

3DEXPERIENCE platform owned objects if present in the XPDMXML file, are ignored.

For more information about mastership and transfer of ownership, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Other Services | Batches and Plug-in Methods | Running the CoexistenceAdministration Batch.

Note: By default, you cannot revise the X-PDM owned objects. However, it is not applicable if you select the Allow new revision from any revision check box in the Lifecycle commands section of Collaborative Lifecycle Management app.

Location of Control

When you transfer objects from 3DEXPERIENCE platform to X-PDM an XPDMXML file is generated. The UniqueID tag contains locationOfControl attribute which informs us about the master system or ownership of the object. For example:

<UniqueID External="14D7A8CE8B5489330E0E235E5B8ED1520E108E77" XID="14D7A8CE8B5489330E0E235E5B8ED1520E108E77" locationOfControl="V6" />

Possible values for locationOfControl are as following:

  • V6: When the object is owned by 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
  • XPDM: When the object is owned by V5 or X-PDM.
  • Unknown: When ownership information of the object is not known.
