The BMEcat component model must be configured to use the BMEcat 2005 exporter. This allows users to control how they export configured data, and enables users to select the desired standard and template to support industry standards for ECLASS and ETIM.
To configure the component model:
-
In the System Setup tab, under the 'Component Models' node, right-click on the BMEcat Model component model and select Industry Model Template Easy Setup.
Selecting Industry Model Template Easy Setup creates default values that are pre-defined. Once clicked, the Configure Industry Model Template dialog displays to explain what will be created. Press, OK to accept the default values.
When completed successfully, a confirmation dialog displays.Click OK to close.
-
Click the Refresh button in workbench to view the default BMEcat values if they do not automatically display upon closing the Configure Industry Model Template confirmation dialog.
BMEcat Template Object Types are created as assets. If a user would like to add more object types, they can add them by clicking on the Edit button and adding the additional desired asset object type.
For more on creating assets, refer to the Assets topic in the Getting Started documentation.
Note: Although the BMEcat Template Schema Object Type displays in the component model, it is not configurable. Users should continue to contact their Professional Services or Stibo Systems representative for BMEcat Schema validation solution needs.
-
In the System Setup tab, under the LOV node, a BMEcat LOVs folder displays, which was created when selecting the Industry Model Template Easy Setup action. Expanding the folder displays the BMEcat Template Standard List Of Values.
-
Click BMEcat Template Standard to display the List Of Values (LOV) information, which comes pre-configured with the needed information for the List of Values Validation and Values sections. This LOV contains the template standard types (ECLASS, ETIM, and General) that will be associated with the BMEcat Template Object Type assets created. If other template standard types are needed for selection outside of those offered, they can be added by clicking Add Value under the Values section.
-
Next, in the Tree tab, under the Assets node, add any needed templates to the BMEcat Templates folder.
-
To upload templates, right-click on the BMEcat Templates folder, and select New Asset.
-
Select the BMEcat Template for the Object Type, and give an ID and Name to the template being created. Click Create.
Note: Although the BMEcat Schema displays as a selectable option in the 'Create Asset' dialog, it is not configurable. Users should continue to contact their Professional Services or Stibo Systems representative for BMEcat Schema validation solution needs.
-
In the BMEcat Template Standard field, select from the dropdown the type of standard the newly created BMEcat Template should be associated with.
-
To add content to the BMEcat Template, click Edit > Asset > Replace Asset Content.
-
Select the desired template, and click Open.
Important: BMEcat Templates are only stored in the current context that they are being uploaded in.
