Up to now a customer administrator had to perform a mapping for LinkDB datasets at each catalog update with the Update manager, if projects or variables had been changed, which led to lots of effort on the customer side and less upgrades to latest catalogs. In order to relieve the customer side, as of V10, mapping information is integrated directly into the catalog. That means these tasks are now done by the modeller of the catalog before it is published. Only in exceptional cases the mapping has to be performed on customer side. On this please see under Section 8.9, “ Add ERP-Mapping... / Edit ERP-Mapping... ” in eCATALOGsolutions Manual. |
When an ERP integration is used, every dataset in the link database is assigned to a specific project line (project path + LineID) in the characteristic attribute table.
At catalog updates it could happen, that not all LinkDB links are found for each product (just because of changes).
Reasons for catalog changes may be:
In the Update manager you can see all projects, project lines, variables and values at a glance.
On the left you can select individual projects and lines in the directory structure. On the right you can see the current mapping. With a click on the respective icon you can confirm or revoke assignments.
The status for ACTIVE_STATE and REQUESTED_STATE is automatically set anew and different functions enable quick editing of the questionable links.
With the help of two examples the editing procedure with the Update manager shall be illustrated.
In the subsequent sections you can find all further details.
