Check out studies from Study Manager

You can check out a study before you work on it in Process Simulate or NX. The checkout feature helps you verify that no one else is editing a study before you load it, and it allows you to lock the data so that no one else can change it while you work with the study.

Note

The Cancel Check Out feature is no longer supported in Study Manager from Process Simulate.

Prerequisites

You must set the CO_FOR_EDIT preference value to TRUE. In addition, you must add CO_FOR_EDIT to the AWC_StartupPreferences in the Teamcenter rich client.

See the Preferences section in the Active Workspace Administration documentation for a description of preferences and how to set them.

You must have write access to the data you want to edit.

Procedure

1. Perform one of the following steps to open Study Manager.

From the Process Simulate on Teamcenter ribbon, choose File → Study Manager.

In the NX Fixture Planner, click the tab of the resource bar.

2. In Study Manager, select a study and click Checkout .

3. In the Checkout dialog box, indicate which study objects you want to check out:

Include sub-hierarchy—Checks out the study and objects in the first level of the study hierarchy.

Include assigned Workareas and Resources—Checks out work areas and resources assigned to the study.

Clear all checkboxes on the dialog box—Checks out only the study.

Teamcenter Easy Plan checks out the study and any related objects you selected, and locks those objects to prevent anyone else from changing them. In addition, a lock icon is displayed next to the study and any related objects that you checked out.

4. (Optional) In Study Manager, hover over a study to determine who has the study checked out.

5. Perform simulation tasks within the study as needed.

6. Click Check in .

All items within the study are checked in, and the data is unlocked so that other users can access it.
