Visualizing the Report

This task describes how to visualizing the Report interactively.

1. Import V5 data via FBDI.

2. Consult the Import Report.

   You have access to the following information:

   
   

   • Global Results html page: showing the list of the batch inputs and the global status. The default name is "Global Result" with date and time of the report.

   • A progress bar in the Global Results html page: gives an indication about the process current state.

   • Warnings about the link isolation: identifies the isolated links (not imported). The message contains the pointing element isolated from the pointed document.

   
   
   
   

   • The left column shows the sources and the right one the status and the details. An error name is given after the error status. This is the unique identifier of this error.

   • The source corresponds to the origin of the information. For example, it can be the name of the file, the container or the feature that generates the problem.

   • The status of the information can have four values, ordered by growing importance: OK, Warning, Unknown, Error.

   • The error name is the unique identifier of an error. It is only used for information with an Unknown or Error status. It is used in two ways: it produced statistics on the kind of errors that we generally encounter and it will also make the communication with the end user easier.

3. Expand or collapse information by double-clicking on the corresponding lines. A sign indicates whether the reports are expanded, preceded by a "-", or collapsed, preceded by a "+". Expanding information shows the details and the children of this Report.

   Note: Whenever a status of any element of the tree is greater then the status of its parent, this status is reported to him.

4. To save this Report with the XML format, select Save As XML in the Import Report, a Save As window opens.

5. Choose a path and File name but you cannot change the type extension: .xml is the unique choice.

6. Click Save. You can open the report with the .xml extension:
   
   

For information, there is a style sheet (.xls) for the XML files, in order to organize the information of the FBDI Report like in a web page. The user can customize this style sheet that is referenced by the XML files.

This task describes how to visualizing the Batch report (Standard Mode).

1. Import V5 data via the FBDI batch. Fore more information, please refer to Running the FBDI Batch.

   
   
   

2. Consult the Import Report. which gives the user a view of what has been imported.

   You have access to the following information:

   
   

   • Global Results html page: showing the list of the batch inputs and the global status. The default name is "Global Result" with date and time of the report.

   • A progress bar in the Global Results html page: gives an indication about the process current state.

   • Warnings about the link isolation: identifies the isolated links (not imported). The message contains the pointing element isolated from the pointed document.

   • An Visualizing the Report file: the report status has a link to the xml report detailing the status (OK or KO) of all the imported files.

Note: If the html file already exists, a warning pop up when clicking the Run button.

The Split Import consists in importing a root product with links to sub-products and parts in separate packages. As the Split Import is CPU time consuming, it is useful to know the current state of the migration. First or intermediate results is helpful to know if the result of an assembly will be different from V5.

In Split mode, as soon as a package of documents is migrated, intermediate report summaries are provided to the user.

1. Import V5 data via FBDI in Split Mode. For more information, please refer to Importing V5 Data in Split and Massive Modes.

2. Consult the Import Report.

   
   

   • A "Global Results For Split" html page for the main process: a new directory is created for all the report files. Its name contains the date and time also used by the Global Report result file. This directory contains all the package report directories.

     As soon as the results of a package import have been collected, the Global Result file is updated. The user can select all the information generated by the computed packages (see the report image below with two packages).

     The intermediate report gives access to the first package results.

   • A directory containing all the outputs. This directory is named with the date and time of the FBDI Split batch execution.

   • A progress bar shows the import process progression and gives an idea about the split import time.

   • Intermediate reports are created before the split process achievement.

   • Warnings about the link isolation: identifies the isolated links (not imported). The message contains the pointing element isolated from the pointed document.

   • A global xml report.

   • A "Package result" html page and the corresponding xml report file for each sub process.

   
   
   

   The running packages are reported as "To Do" until their ending. Therefore, the expected report status will be OK, KO, Partial and To Do. No information is given for the running packages.

3. If the Split Import succeeds, read the Global Result and check if the report is successful.

4. If the Split Import fails, read the Global Result and identify the step which failed:

   
   

   • If the link analysis failed, the document associated to this failure is indicated with the failure root cause.

   • If an import failed, read the report of the failed package import by selecting the link in the Global report.

   • If the split import failed, read the final report.

If a report with the same name already exist, a warning pop up.

A warning may appear in the XML report when it has identified the isolated links. The XML report only shows the status of the imported documents. The pointed documents that are not imported (can be missing or already imported by using the asynchronous mode) do not appear in the report. In asynchronous mode, you obtain this message:If an input file is not imported (i.e. it was already imported using the asynchronous mode) it will appear in the report with a specific detail explaining the situation. Note: The name of the Split Global Result file and its target directory are inputs. The names of the other created directories and files are supported by the national language.

1. The report is updated when a sub-process is collected by the main process. So it is updated when the main process needs intermediate results to continue. The Done status is only established when you need its result to continue. The running processes with their associated progress bar can be identified in grid computing mode inside the CATUTIL window (see the Infrastructure User Guide).

2. The isolation warning is available only when the application allows it.
