4.15.4.2. Manual revision via parameter calls

The manual revision via parameter call can be necessary to correct errors if variants in an ERP environment were accidentally created with PARTdesigner instead of PARTlinkManager in an ERP environment.

[Note]Note

Creating variants with via eCATALOGsolutions functionality is not intended during ERP integration!

Should this however be the case, do the following to remove the error:

Start PARTadmin with padmin.exe -updatedb -detectVariant. A dialog then appears in which the catalog to be updated in the link database can be selected.

You have a limited possibility for corrections!

If you start PARTadmin with the parameter -updateDB, PARTadmin determines all installed catalogs whose update status has not yet been updated in the link database. These catalogs are listed in the Update dialog box. By clicking on OK, the catalogs are then updated in the link database.

You can see the status of the update on the Log [Protocol] tab page.
