AT0EXPND Export Filtering
When the BOM is exported in XML savemode from VPM to DELMIA IPD, it is possible to filter the attributes extracted from the database thus avoiding information surfeit on the DELMIA side.

To enable the filtering behavior the argument "-filteredView" must be added to the AT0EXPND command line.

A new VPM setting, IPD_FILTER_FILE, is required to indicate the xml file with the attributes to be exported.
Example:
VPMSettings –a –n IPD_FILTER_FILE –v /home/vpmadm/VPMENVFilter.xml

The syntax of the xml file is simple. It must contain three tags specifying:

  • the name of the environment to be be filtered
  • the name of the table to be filtered
  • the name of the attribute to be exported.

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?>
<Environment Name=”VPMENV”>
<Table Name=”PART_LIST”>
<Attribute Name=”S_PART_NUMBER”/>
<Attribute Name=”S_TYPE”/>
<Attribute Name=”S_CHG_NUM”/>
</Table>
<Table Name=”DOCUMENT”>
<Attribute Name=”S_FORMAT”/>
<Attribute Name=”S_NAME”/>
<Attribute Name=”C_TYPE_REP”/>
</Table>
</Environment>

AT0EXPND Export modification-type effectivities
When the BOM is exported in XML savemode from VPM to DELMIA IPD, it is now possible to export modification-type effectivities ( Actions ) for import to DELMIA IPD.  This enables DELMIA users to view the options to which such Actions are related.
