Step 2 - Upgrade Dictionary Database(s)

Step 2 will upgrade the UDAs identified in Step 1 for the Dictionary databases that are accessible. The UDAs will have the UUNI set to the dimension stated in the XML file. Make sure Step 1 has been run on all the Schematic Databases that use the UDAs defined in this Dictionary Database before running Step 2.

Use the option in the Schematic Model Manager menu to run Step 2.

The user will be asked to select a file produced by Step 1 to use and will be shown a file open dialog.

On successful completion of Step 2 the user will see a message box which will ask if they have other Step 1 file which they want to use. Selecting Yes will show the file open dialog to choose another file. Selecting No will take them to a summary message box which will list all the files they have run for Step 2 and the Dictionary databases that have been processed.

At the completion of Step 2 all the UDAs on Elements in the Schematic Databases will have a unit associated with the value. For example a Temperature may now have the value 32degC when previously it just read 32. At this point none of the values for the attributes identified in Step 1 have been converted so if your data was imported using degF and the value was 78 the value would now be set to 78degC and is therefore incorrect. Step 3 will convert the values so that the data is correct.
