Workflow - SmartPlant Foundation - IM Update 48 - Help - Hexagon

The update of the class definition of an object workflow is as follows:

1. The user creates an object in an authoring tool, for example named Object1.

2. The authoring tool updates Object1 with a class definition of ClassA.

3. The tool publishes Object1 into SmartPlant Foundation with a class definition of ClassA.

4. A SharedObject is created in SmartPlant Foundation to represent the tool object.

5. The user then updates the tool version of Object1 with a different class definition, ClassB.

6. The tool then re-publishes Object1 with a new class definition of ClassB into SmartPlant Foundation.

7. Upon publishing, the schema component determines that the classification of the object has changed and generates an UpdateClassInstruction.

8. SmartPlant Foundation loads the new version of Object1 and detects the UpdateClassInstruction.

9. SmartPlant Foundation updates the class definition of Object1 and updates the SharedObject with the new class definition, ClassB.
