Using the PDMS 10.02 screen, ASCII files can be created from Smart Materials pipe classes, which in turn can be read into PDMS.

The Missing CATEREFs and Missing GTypes buttons allow you to search for missing information. You can click them before or after the transfer has finished. For more information, see Missing CATREFs and Missing GTypes.

You can specify the order-by criteria within the GTypes using the Sort Order in GTypes button. Click this button to open a new window where you can specify the order preferences of the attribute codes used in GType configurations. The contents of the generated Specon file will be ordered according to these preferences. The order preferences are project dependent.

After querying on this screen, all pipe classes of the project appear. You can use the Spec Type field to filter the specifications based on the selected specification types.

Using the Display Options group, you can filter the displayed specs based on their revision and whether they are issued or not. Select All to display all specs regardless of their revision and issue status; select Highest Rev. Issued or not to display only the highest revision of a spec regardless of whether they are issued or not; select Not Issued and Highest Rev to display only the specs that are not issued and that have the highest revision number.

If the default ZI_PDMS_IS is set to Y, the not issued specifications do not appear on PDMS 10.02.

You can click the left Select All button to mark the Sel check box of all displayed specifications. Click the left Deselect All button to cancel the current selection.

You can click the right Select All button to mark the Delta check box of all displayed specifications. Click the right Deselect All button to cancel the current selection.

The two check boxes on the left side indicate whether or not all necessary mapping work has been done for the pipe class in each case.

  • CR - A Catalog Reference in S.30.I.01 was assigned (definition PDMS-CATREF per Smart Materials commodity code) to all commodity codes of the pipe class

  • GT - A GType in PDMS 10.01 was assigned (mapping of GTypes, header, details with Smart Materials short codes and option codes) to all short codes of the pipe class.

With the PBOR translation feature, the PBORs can be translated from either IN to MM or MM to IN when creating PDMS spec files. If the value of the dropdown list in the PBOR Translation field is set to ‘IN to MM,' the PBORs will be translated from IN to MM for a specification being transferred to PDMS. If PBOR Translation is set to ‘MM to IN,' the PBORs will be translated from MM to IN.

The PBOR translation is considered only if UOM is not turned on.

Before you can start the transfer, you must select at least one specification by selecting the Sel indicator and entering a path in the Export Path field (manual input, via LOV, or Save button).

If the Run CIP indicator next to the Transfer selected Specs button is selected, the custom procedure M_PCK_PDMSEXP_CUSTOM.PUBLISH will be executed after the transfer job finishes successfully.

When you click the Transfer selected Specs button, a message appears. Click Yes to start the transfer.

Several job information messages appear in the status line:

  • Creating temporary data

  • Transfer in progress

  • Creation of Specfile completed

After the ‘Creation of Specfile completed’ message appears, the transfer is finished.

After the transfer has been concluded, the following files will be created:

File

Type of file

Location

PDMS_OUTPUT_xxxxx.log

logfile

UTL file directory

This logfile can be deleted with the Del Log button.

insxxxx.spec

specfile

defined path in Export Path field

When the creation of the spec file is completed, the following message appears.

Click Yes to generate the component files. The PDMS 20.01 Create PDMS Files screen opens. Specify the job information (except project filter and spec filter) on PDMS 20.01, and then click the Create File button to create the component files. The content of the component files is driven by the idents of the specifications selected on the PDMS 10.02 Create PDMS Spec-File screen.

Both the spec files and the component files are downloaded into a single zip file.

When the component file generation is done, the following message appears.

Click OK to continue. Next you can decide to download the created files.

Click Yes to download the files or No to end the job. Then close PDMS 20.01 to go back to PDMS 10.02.

When the transfer is completed, you can double-click in the Spec Code field to open the PDMS 10.03 Show Log Entries screen.

In the first (Specification Headers) block, the selected specification is displayed with revision and descriptions.

In the second block, the revisions of the transfer jobs for the selected specification are displayed depending on the setting of the Display Revisions group. The jobs are shown with the job number, revision, and date and time when it was executed. If the Master check box is checked, you can use this job as a master for the next transfer run. Select the Delta check box to use the job's result to compare with the next transfer result. The Action field shows the action of the transfer job. The available options are listed below.

  • First creating - The first time when creating a transfer file for this specification.

  • New - A new spec file regardless of any delta logic.

  • Update from previous inserted - A job including delta management.

The number of records written to the NEW file is shown in the New field. The number of records written to the INSERT file is shown in the Insert field. The number of modified lines is shown in the Modified field. The number of records written to the DELETE file is shown in the Deleted field. When this job has created an insulation spec file, the Insu indicator is checked. The Reset check box is used for delta management. If the Master Job field is filled with a job number, the actual job result was copied from the result of this job. If the Delta Job field is filled with a job number, the actual job result was compared to the result of this job number.

Click the Next Block button to open Window 2 with the data of the selected job.

The GType Config data corresponding to the job are shown in the second (GType Configs) block. For each GType the specification item idents data is shown in the third (PDMS Spec Item Idents) block.

While generating a Specon file from the PDMS 10.02 Create PDMS Spec-File screen, when two PBORs (for example, PBOR0 and PBOR1) are checked and there is no value specified for the INPUT_2 of the corresponding specification, the INPUT_1 value is considered as the value for INPUT_2 also.

If the project default ZI_PDMS_SN is set to Y, the Add, Delete, Modify, and New specification files are merged into a single specification file. The merged specification file name is prefixed with ‘mer’. The contents of the merge file are structured as follows:

$* Piping specification File for all items

<< new specs >>

$*

$* Piping specification File for additionally inserted items

$* ----------------------------------------------------------

<< inserted specs >>

$*

$* Piping specification File for modified items

$* ----------------------------------------------------------

<< modified specs >>

$*

$* Piping specification File for deleted items

$* ----------------------------------------------------------

<< deleted specs >>

You can link a specification to others. Right-click in the Spec Code field to open the pop-up menu.

Select the Spec Links option to open a new window where you can link other specifications to the selected specification.
