You need to edit translations classes using the Explore
administrative user interface.
This table lists the Generalized Name Translation Class fields,
name and their descriptions:
Generalized Name Translation Class Field Name
|
Description |
Tool ID (Mandatory, Primary Key) |
Required primary key. Used to identify a tool or tool instance with
which the generalized name translation is associated. |
Translation ID (Optional, Primary Key) |
Translation ID should normally be left blank (wildcard) so that this
translation will apply for any Translation ID set by the user. If set,
the value constrains which translations will apply when transferring
data. A translation ID is usually set through the translation settings
in the UI of the particular integration solution. Translation ID is
most commonly used to identify either an organizational or a
functional group of users. |
Interface Category (Optional, Primary Key) |
Serves a purpose similar to Translation ID by sub-grouping the
applicable translations typically to relate them to a particular area
of interface functionality. It differs from Translation ID in that an
integration solution will typically hard code various values for
Interface Category for use in different situations, rather than
allowing it to be set through the UI. |
Source Name (Mandatory, Primary Key) |
Required primary key indicating the property name or class name to be
translated. |
Target Name (Mandatory, Primary Key) |
Required primary key indicating the name to which the Source Name is
to be translated. |
Reference Property Information Tool ID, Property Name (Optional) |
The key fields of a corresponding referenced (pointed-at) entry from
the External Properties Class, which provides additional property
information applicable to one of the tools involved. |
This table lists Property Name Translations Class Field Names and
their descriptions:
Property Name Translation Class Field Name
|
Description |
Translation ID (Optional, Primary Key) |
Translation ID should normally be left blank (wildcard) so that this
translation will apply for any Translation ID set by the user. If set,
the value constrains which translations will apply when transferring
data. A translation ID is usually set through the translations
settings in the UI of the particular integration solution. Translation
ID is most commonly used to identify either an organizational or a
functional group of users. |
Interface Category (Optional, Primary Key) |
Normally Interface Category should be left blank (wildcard) so that
the translation will apply for any category within an interface.
Serves a purpose similar to Translation ID by sub-grouping the
applicable translations typically to relate them to a particular area
of interface functionality. It differs from Translation ID in that an
integration solution will typically hard code various values for
Interface Category for use in different situations, rather than
allowing it to be set through the UI. |
Associated Class, Class Label (Optional, Primary Key) |
Specifies the top most Explore class for which this translation will
apply. For the translation to apply, the Associated Class must be a
direct ancestor of the class of the item being translated. The
applicable translation is always the one closest to the owning leaf
class of the item being translated. Normally Associated Class should
be left blank (wildcard) so that the translation will apply for all
classes. |
External Property, Tool ID, Property Name (Mandatory, Primary Key) |
Required primary key pointer. The key fields for the corresponding
entry in the External Property Class referring to a property in the
third party tool (TPT) to be mapped. |
Explore Property, Class Property Label, Owner Class (Mandatory,
Primary Key) |
Required primary key pointer. The key fields for the corresponding
entry within the Class Properties Class referring to the Explore
property to map to the specified TPT property. In most implementations
the Owner Class property is not used and is present merely as an
artifact of the Explore architecture that happens to display all the
primary keys of pointed to items. |
Explore Pointer Property, Pointer Class Property Label, Owner Class
(Optional, Primary Key) |
Primary key pointer. The key fields for the corresponding entry within
the Pointer Class Properties Class that point to a property in another
class. The pointer-to property is specified in Explore Property. The
pointer should be null (key fields empty) if the property to be
translated is in the current class or in a class in the direct
hierarchy. It is not required to enter something here in order to
translate pointer properties. It is only required if a different
translation is required when the property appears within this pointer,
from the translation required when the property appears in other
positions. Normally this field will be left blank. |
Enabled for Export (Default value is "Yes") |
Specifies whether the translation applies to data passed from Explore
to the TPT. |
Enabled for Import (Default value is "Yes") |
Specifies whether the translation applies to data passed from the TPT
to Explore. |
Disable UOM Translation (Default value is "No") |
Provides the ability to disable any UOM Translation that might apply
to data imported or exported using this specific translation. |
Default Explore Value (Optional) |
The default Explore value is used in outbound translation to define a
default Explore value to be used by the TPT. The value is subject to
value translation. This field is normally left blank. |
Default External Value (Optional) |
The default TPT value is used in inbound translation to define a
default TPT value that can be used by Explore. The value is subject to
value translation. This field is normally left blank. |
Default Tool UOM UOM Name, UOM Display Symbol (Optional) |
The default tool UOM is used in inbound translation to define a
default UOM to associate with incoming data that can be used once the
data comes into Explore. The default tool UOM is subject to UOM
translation in the inbound direction. This field is normally left
blank. |
This table lists External Properties Class field name and their
descriptions:
External Properties Class Field Name
|
Description |
Tool ID (Mandatory, Primary Key) |
Required primary key. Used to identify a tool or tool instance with
which the property is associated. |
Property Name (Mandatory, Primary Key) |
Required primary key. The property name as seen within the identified
tool. |
Property Owner (Optional) |
This property is provided for the convenience of the user and does not
generally have any influence on the translation process. Some
applications (for example, ERP integration) might do some application
specific processing using this property. Refer to the application
(solution, product) specific documentation for further information. |
Property Description (Optional) |
Description of the external property. This is an optional
documentation field to describe the property in case the name is not
sufficiently self-explanatory. Not used in the translation process. |
Key Identifier (Optional) |
States whether this is a key identifier (primary key), usually in the
external tool rather than in Explore. |
Update Explore (Optional) |
Used in some tools to specify if the property in Explore can be
updated by a value coming from a TPT. |
Mastered in Explore (Optional) |
A property mastered in Explore ("Yes") will be created and always
updated in Explore. Such a property will not be modified with a value
from the TPT. However, while creating the Explore equivalent, can take
the value provided by the TPT. A property mastered by the TPT ("No")
will be created and always updated in the TPT and will not be modified
by values passed from Explore. However, while creating the TPT
property, it can take the value provided by Explore. |
Tool Specific (Optional) |
Used to indicate that the external name is hard coded, with some
specific semantic meaning to the external tool or the interface. |
Parameterize in LMS (Optional) |
Mentor Graphics specific option. |
EDA Visibility (Optional) |
CAD tool specific property information to specify how the external
property should appear within the schematic. |
Concept Annotation Usage (Optional) |

in the UI of the particular integration solution. Translation ID is
most commonly used to identify either an organizational or a
functional group of users. |
Associated Class, Class Label (Optional, Primary Key) |

apply. For the translation to apply, the Associated Class must be a
direct ancestor of the class of the item being translated. The
