Heterogeneous Structure Explosion - Configuration

This feature is not available in the Web Client.

The Heterogeneous Structure Explosion provides a browser like visualization within the Java client to display heterogeneous data structures.

Heterogeneous Structure Explosion can be opened via the context menu (Structure > Multi level > Heterogeneous) of the respective object mask (e.g. Item, Project, Document). An additional tab (Multi-Level Structure) is added to the object mask to display the structure.

In the Heterogeneous Structures mask (System > Structure Browser > Heterogeneous Structure) the heterogeneous structure explosion can be configured.

Field	Description
Use Case	Use case for the creation of the heterogeneous structure explosion.
Description	Description of the use case.
View	Name of the entity in the data dictionary to represent the heterogeneous structure explosion.
Temporary Table	Name of the temporary table which is used by the Stored Procedure to store the result of the heterogeneous structure explosion.
Stored Procedure	Procedure that executes the heterogeneous structure explosion in the database.
Max. Records	Defines the maximum number of lines in a heterogeneous structure explosion list before a check for recursion is carried out. Maximum number that can be entered: 9,999,999,999
Max. Depth	Defines the maximum number of levels in a heterogeneous structure explosion tree.
Max. T-Level	Defines the level in a heterogeneous structure explosion list; when reached, a preventive recursion check is carried out once.
Threshold Record	Defines the line number in a heterogeneous structure explosion list; when reached, a preventive recursion check is carried out once.
Recursion Level	System checks in a heterogeneous structure explosion up to this level if a recursion exists. If a recursion exists, the structure of the respective node is only displayed up to the recursion. The rest of the heterogeneous structure explosion is displayed completely. If no recursion exists up to the defined level, the system checks the rest of the heterogeneous structure explosion until a recursion is found. If no recursion can be found, the recursion check is stopped at the end of the list. If the entry for this field is set to 0, no recursion check is carried out.

In case a recursion is found, it is marked in the list.

Context Menu

View Configuration
Opens the entity that contains the data dictionary definition of the view.
Browser Entries
Opens the Browser Configuration mask to define which relation should be displayed in the heterogenous structure explosion.
Field Mapping
Opens the Fields mask to define which original fields are mapped to the view fields.
Create Table and View
Creates newly defined temporary table and view.
CAD Structure Configuration
Opens the file usage list to define the mapping for Creation System / Logic Type. should be used by set the "Document Use" flag.
When you open a document type form and click on tab "CAD Structure" the CAD specific structure explosion is called. Depending on the value for the creation system of the document record (T_DOC_DAT.CAX_CRE_SYSTEM) the used Logic Type for the explosion is determined by the "Document Use" flag.
E.g. a document record with value "CATIA_V5" as creation system will map to logic type "CATIA" which will provided to the structure explosion algorithm.
