In the following the procedure of an offline catalog update is explained.

Open the CIP file by clicking on (selection in an Explorer window).
-
-> The dialog box CIP Installation with the options and opens:
-
It is checked whether there are datasets with status to check and/or not mapped.

For all affected ERP numbers the status (checked, successful, expired and not mapped) is displayed, furthermore Path, Path (new), NB and NB (new).
successful: The automatic check was successful, identifying projects which do not need to be verified. They can definitely occur in the mapping dialog. And they are all the ones without
icon occurring because the tab
file changed but without need for mapping (e.g. new row
added).to check: Actually this status should not occur, because publishing without ERP mapping is not allowed.
expired: Rows verified with a red x
, meaning rows, which do not exist
anymore, furthermore rows which have been mapped to
"nothing" by Conditions.not mapped: This status appears at faulty mapping, error during installation or missing mapping.
If in the dialog box CIP Installation, the tabs Protocol, ERP Status and PLM Status are displayed, then there are datasets with status to check [68]and/or not mapped.
That means editing via Update manager [69] is needed.
If after the check the installation shall be performed, at desired catalogs, activate the checkbox and click on otherwise on .

If everything could automatically be assigned, then nothing is selectable anymore. Otherwise perform the mappings with the help of the Update Manager. Details on this can be found under Section 4.16.3, “ Catalog update with ERP integration - Fix mapping problems with the Update manager ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual.
Button
