RADE

Principle

Let's customize a change request (ECR) and a change order (ECO) which do not necessarily have to be customized together.

You are going to add 2 new fields to each component:

Creating a Modeler Object

Creating a ECO Modeler Object

2. From the File menu, select New->Other->DMC Elements->New Modeler Object. Click Next>.

3. Enter the name of the new Modeler Object (MyECO in this example).
4. Select ECO in the list and click Next>.
5. Click Insert to add the attribute MyFirstAttribute to your MyECO.
6. Enter MyFirstAttribute in the Name field and select STRING in the Type list. Click OK.
7. Click Insert to add the attribute MySecondAttribute to your MyECO.
8. Enter MySecondAttribute in the Name field and select STRING in the Type list. Click OK.
9. Optionnal: Add a new index using the second Insert button.
10. Click Finish when done.

Creating a ECR Modeler Object

1. In the Navigator view, expand the MyECOECR node and double-click the .emx file.

2. From the File menu, select New->Other->DMC Elements->New Modeler Object. Click Next>.
3. Enter the name of the new Modeler Object (MyECR in this example).
4. Select ECO in the list and click Next>.
5. Click Insert to add the attribute Attribute1 to your MyECR.
6. Enter Attribute1 in the Name field and select DATE in the Type list. Click OK.
7. Click Insert to add the attribute Attribute2 to your MyECR.
8. Enter Attribute2 in the Name field and select DOUBLE in the Type list. Click OK.
9. Optionnal: Add a new index using the second Insert button.
10. Click Finish when done.

Here is the UML graphic describing your customization.

Testing in ENOVIA

Now it is time to test your customization. To use this customization, launch ENOVIA with the environment of the customization. To do so, indicatethe location where your customization is built on the server, as follows:

On UNIX:

$ENOVIA_INSTALLATION_PATH$/$OS$/code/command/enoviastart -direnv $EnvDir$ -env $EnvName$

where :

• ENOVIA_INSTALLATION_PATH is the location where you installed the ENOVIA CD.

• OS is the operating system tag (eg. solaris_a, aix_a, hpux_b).

• EnvDir is the environment folder containing the EnvName.txt file

• EnvName is the name of the ENOVIA environment ( Default is : ENOVIA_LCA.V5R17.B17 )
   

On Windows:

$ENOVIA_INSTALL_PATH$/$OS$/code/bin/CATSTART -run "ENOVIA.exe" -direnv $EnvDir$ -env $EnvName$ -object "-senv $sEnvName$ -sdirenv $sEnvDir$"

where :

• ENOVIA_INSTALLATION_PATH is the location where you installed the ENOVIA CD.

• OS is the operating system tag (eg. intel_a).

• EnvDir is the environment folder containing the EnvName.txt file

• EnvName is the name of the ENOVIA environment ( Default is : ENOVIA_LCA.V5R17.B17)

• sEnvName is the name of server environment contained in your new customization workspace ( Default is :WorkspaceEnv

• sEnvDir is the server environment folder containing the sEnvName.txt file 

Now, when creating a new CustoECR,

and when searching for our new object committed in the database:

The same behavior is expected for MyECO.
