Step 1 - Pre-Upgrade Scan

Step 1 analyzes the Schematic data and generates a file containing the elements and attributes which have been identified as upgrade candidates. The file can then be checked and if required can be amended to remove items from the upgrade. For further information, refer to Checking and Amending the XML file Generated in Step 1.

The UDAs with data which should be dimensioned are identified and the suggested dimensions given in the XML file. Any Schematic Model Manager mandatory UDAs and any customer defined UDAs will be identified. The Attribute Mappings are used to identify attributes where units are associated to the data.

Use the Tools menu option Schematic Model Manager to run Step 1.

On successful completion of Step 1 the user will see a message box which will give details of the location of both the XML file and the log file produced and will also list the Dictionary databases which have been identified. The foreign Dictionary databases will list separately as these will need to be upgraded where they are mastered, it is suggested that the user makes a note of all the Dictionary databases which are reported so that they can make sure that Step 2 is run for each of them.

This step should be run for all Schematic Databases, using a particular Dictionary database, before the Dictionary database is upgraded in Step 2.
