Selecting the Disable CATIAV5 VPM DB
connection check box allows you to remove the database connection
required when using CATIA V5 with VPM V4. This avoids problems related
to the security and administration due to the initialization of such
database connection.
There are three push buttons in this section:
Selecting the Database Administration option lets you
define the parameters for connection to the CDM databases you wish to
use (see "Connecting an ORACLE or DB2 Database to Your CATIA Version 5
Environment" in the ENOVIAVPM User's Guide).
Selecting the Database Server Dictionary option lets you
define a CDM dictionary associated with a server.
Selecting the ENOVIAvpm/Product Structure Mapping option lets
you map CDM and assembly attributes (see "Mapping CDM and Assembly
Attributes" in the ENOVIAVPM
User's Guide).
Selecting ENOVIAvpm/Product Structure Nodes Customisation
option lets you customize the display of nodes in Catia by selecting
required attributes to load from VPMV4
PSN Display Options
Selecting the Automatic Highlight in PSN check box sets the
automatic highlight for the identification of models in a PSN graph from
a Version 5 session and vice-versa. This means that whenever
you select one or more models in a PSN graph they are automatically
highlighted in the Version 5 session. When selected in a Version 5
session, they are automatically highlighted in the corresponding PSN
graph.
If you do decide to use this option you should be
aware that performance will be adversely affected.
Customize Session Building
Selecting the Load all EnoviaVPM properties check box means
that when a session is built all the properties visualized in VPM
that have not been mapped will be loaded as user properties.
If you do decide to use this option you should
be aware that performance will be adversely affected.
When the cache mode is on, the user properties in the
Product: Added Properties section of the Properties
dialog box are not visible because the Part reference is not
loaded.
Selecting the Disable Applicative Object management
check
box speeds up performance.
If you do decide to use this option you should
be aware that V5 applicative objects such as publications,
constraints, etc. will neither be saved nor stored in the
database.
VPM Cache Management
Selecting the Work with the V4 VPM cache system check box
allows you to:
Use the cache system and provide the location of the V4
local cache in the field VPM
Cache path.
Set percentage of use cache to be set. Selecting the Manual
cache cleaning check box allows you to to set the percentage
of usage.
VPM Save Panel Management
Selecting the Disable the VPM Save Commit Panel check box
enables you to dispense with the Save Commit dialog box.
Selecting the Disable the VPM Save Report Panel check box
enables you to dispense with the Save Report dialog box.
VPM LCA Vault Save
If you select the Enable Direct V5 Vault Save check box, then
during save, CATIA will first check if VPM supports direct save into LCA
vault by CV5. VPM will save data to LCA vault if this check box is
clear.
FBDI Panel Management
Selecting the Ask before overwrite existing parts check box displays
a message before writing on the existing part from the database.
Selecting the Never overwrite existing parts check box does not
allow you to overwrite the existing parts.
