CMM removes properties when use allow_null_vlaue in attribute mapping. IR Number: 7890641

Priority: 3

Business Urgency: Yes

Problem Description:

CMM sets the all mapped properties on the ItemRevision to blank when use the —allow_null_value™ in the attribute mapping file for the UGMASTER\UGPART.

=============================================================================

NX Versions: NX 10.0.2

Managed Mode: Yes

Tc Versions: TC 10.1.5

CMM version: 10.0.2.1.056

Containing:


Part: N

AVI: N

Syslog: N

Other Files: Y

Work Around: Had a customization written that will read the values from the legacy I-deas form and then repopulate the values for the properties on the ItemRevision.

Steps to Duplicate:

  1. Add a custom item to your TC 10.1.5 database

  2. Select the custom ItemRevision and open it in BMIDE

  3. Add a property to this itemRevision called Minster Drawn By

  4. Deploy the change to Teamcenter

  5. Import the attached attribute mapping file: attr_allow_null_value.txt

  6. Make a new I-deas part using the custom item type and save to TC. Or import the attached package file.

  7. Add a Minster Drawn By property by editing the properties form and saving it

  8. Migrate the I-deas part using CMM

  9. Check the properties form and see how the Drawn By property is removed
