During the design process designers may request that one or
more existing parts be approved for use in their project. Once the
request is made, the Parts Manager must approve, or reject the request.
If a part is approved for a project, a propagation/reconciliation
process is run in the background to make the geometry of the part
available to all necessary PLM systems. Before the propagation process
is initiated, the VaultClient.properties file for each PLM system linked
to the CES database must be present in a "Vault Client Directory" on
your machine. During propagation/reconciliation a CES_Reconcile folder
will be created in the Vault Client Directory. Parts will be copied
temporarily to this CES_Reconcile folder during reconciliation. If no
Vault Client Directory is set, then by default, the CATTemp directory
will be used during reconciliation.
For more information, refer to
Managing Parts Across Multiple PLM Instances.
To access the Vault Client Directory settings, start CATIA and
select Tools > Options
from the menu bar. Scroll down to the
Collaborative Enterprise Sourcing node and select it.
The
Collaborative Enterprise Sourcing tab appears.
