Structure Resolution Parameters
Copy
We mentioned Structure Resolution briefly in the Parameters section above. The Structure Resolution parameter sets query criteria to return a specific configuration of items with respect to Released state and version (generation).
Structure Resolution Modes:
- Default: a structure as physically stored in the database. Technically speaking, results will contain Items with ID values in related_id Property of Relationships in the structure without interpretation of LifeCycle State or availability of new versions (generations).
- Latest: uses the generation of the Item with the highest value.
- Latest Released: uses the generation of the Item with the highest value which is also Released.
- Latest Released or Latest: uses the generation of the Item with the highest value which is also Released; otherwise, the Latest if there are no Released generations.
By default, the structure is only displayed as stored in the database. Without dynamic view parameters users would need to spend more time examining work-in-progress changes to components in a structure. Dynamic structure resolution is important feature for BOM structure, Effectivity, 3D Visualization, and other Aras Innovator features.
In this section we describe in detail how Structure Resolution can be configured for a Query Definition using the Query Builder.
Note
In Aras Innovator 12.0 SP2 and SP3, there was an error in process Structure Resolution Queries for the Dynamic Viewer in that it would assign the Structure Resolution filter to the root CAD Item. Thus, if a Structure Resolution query was meant to include all Latest Released CAD Items (and the root CAD Item was not Released, the query would return nothing. This has been fixed in 12.0 SP4 and later releases.
