9.9.1.2. Installation of catalog update (at the customer)

[Tip] Tip

Under Catalog update -> Online, in a first step only download the CIP file.

Therefore uncheck Install after download.

Then switch to the variant Catalog update -> Offline. When using the offline variant you can check the ERP status (possibly PLM status in addition) of datasets BEFORE the installation. Furthermore the functions Check and Compare are available.

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

  1. If under Catalog update -> Online, you deactivated the option Install after download, then the downloaded catalog cip files can now be found in the temporary Download directory, which you determined in the settings dialog.

    Open the CIP file by clicking on Open (selection in an Explorer window).

  2. Click Install.

    -> The dialog box CIP Installation with the options Yes - Check Catalog and No - Install now opens:

    • Yes - Check Catalog

      It is checked whether there are datasets with status to check and/or not mapped.

      [Note] Note

      This case can only occur, if there isn't an ERP mapping available yet.

      • If datasets with status to check or not mapped are found during a test run, in the dialog box CIP Installation the tabs Protocol, ERP Status and PLM Status are displayed, otherwise the installation is immediately performed.

        • Protocol tab

          On the tabbed page Protocol the number of datasets per Status is listed.

          • successful

          • expired

          • to check

          • not mapped

          Dialog box "CIP Installation" -> tabbed page "Protocol"

          Dialog box "CIP Installation" -> tabbed page "Protocol"

        • ERP Status tab

          For all affected ERP numbers the status (successful, expired, to check and not mapped) is displayed, furthermore old path, new path, old NB and new NB.

          Dialog box "CIP Installation" -> tabbed page "ERP Status" / Example with status"to check", "successful" and "not mapped"

          Dialog box "CIP Installation" -> tabbed page "ERP Status" / Example with status"to check", "successful" and "not mapped"

          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 and/or not mapped.

          That means editing with the help of Update manager [40] is necessary. This status can only occur if no ERP-Mapping on the side of catalog modeling had happened.

          If the installation shall be performed now after the test run, check the desired catalogs and click on Install selected catalogs, otherwise on Cancel.

          [Note] Note

          At the end of the installation the following note is displayed:

          There were mapping problems in the LinkDB. Please correct these in the UpdateManager.

      • If there are no datasets with the note to check or not mapped the installations runs through without further note. Then, at the end of installation the tabs Protocol, Status and ERP Status are displayed again - this time in the standard dialog area under Catalog update -> Offline.

    • No - Install now

      The installation is immediately started. At the end of the installation the tabs Protocol, Status and ERP Status are displayed - this time in the standard dialog area under Catalog update -> Offline.

Result after processed installation:

At the end of the installation the tabs Protocol, Status and ERP Status are displayed - this time in the standard dialog area under Catalog update -> Offline.

  • Protocol
