Simulating the reconciliation before applying
it enables you to examine impacts and to re-adjust reconciliation rules if
desired. The simulation enables you to identify:
- identical instances
- modified positioning
- the objects available only in CATIA that will be created when saving
the result of the reconciliation transaction
- the objects available only in the VPDM that will be deleted when
saving the result of the reconciliation transaction
|
|
The reconciliation simulation is to be
performed after the reconciliation rules have been defined.

-
In the Reconcile Window scrolling list, select the
Compare view.
The document loaded in the CATIA session is compared to the
product structure stored in the VPDM vault. The Compare view presents
a merged view of the CATIA and the VPDM product structure. This
comparison enables you to identify the impacts of the reconciliation
on the Product structure stored in the VPDM after applying the
reconciliation. The results are displayed in two places:
- In the List View where a new column Compare is displayed
- New: The instance does not exist in the VPDM and
is therefore considered as new.
- Deleted: The instance does not exist in the
product to reconcile and will be deleted from the VPDM.
- Moved: The instance position will be modified.
- Identical: Both documents (CATIA session and
VPDM) are identical.
- In the CATIA View, the Objects to reconcile tree displays the
files making up the selected .CATProduct file. Note that the
different components are displayed along with an icon indicating
their status:
: Indicates
that an instance was added.
: Indicates that
an instance is to be deleted.
: Indicates that
the instances are identical.
: Indicates that
the instance was moved.

|
- Note that the Compare view is available at any time (even before
selecting a reconciliation rule) as soon as the root product mapping is
done.
- If a CATIA object is not mapped with a VPDM object, it will be
considered as if the New reconciliation rule had been applied to it.
- In the Compare view, the "moved" icon
is
not displayed when importing the position modification of a product saved
in Publications Exposed mode. When using the Publications Exposed mode,
product positions are not published.

Follow the scenario described in:
Use Case 1: Reconciling a Product Structure
to step 8.

Select the Compare view in the Reconcile
Window.
