Cloning rules for objects

You must add each of the preferences you use to the AWC_StartupPreferences in the Teamcenter rich client. See Working with preferences in Active Workspace for a description of preferences and how to set them.

Note

Starting in version 2406, the EP_BOP.Template preference is deprecated. This preference is replaced by the Process.Template preference.

• EP_ShowCloneIndication—allows users to identify the source of cloned objects so that changes can be propagated with a full traceability view during cloning. Set this preference value to true to enable the clone indication feature.

• EP_CloningSupportedProcessTypes—determines whether consumed parts and assigned resources are carried forward to the new plant Bill of Process (BOP) when a new plant bill of process (BOP) is created by cloning an existing plant BOP.By default, cloning rules ignore consumed parts and assigned resources from the existing plant BOP.The default value for this preference is Process.Template.Mapping_Consume.

• EP_PlanningForSmallProduct—allows users to clone a BOP for a full product and modify it to use in small product mode. Set this value to true to enable this feature.

• MECreateIdInContextforAssignedchildlines—defines the level of in-context IDs (IDICs) data that is copied when you clone assembly objects in context . The protection scope for this preference is USER. The valid value for this preference is an integer, which defines how many levels of IDICs are cloned in an assembly. For example, to copy three levels of IDICs for an in-context assembly, set this preference to 3.

• MEProcess.MEProcess.PasteDuplicateTemplate—allows users to clone existing processes from the same or a different work package. This preference supports users working in a classic BOP on the Process Planning page.
  
  To use this preference in a product BOP, set the value to MEProductBOP.MEProductBOP.PasteDuplicateTemplate.
  
  To use this preference in a plant BOP, set the value to Mfg0MEPlantBOP.Mfg0MEPlantBOP.PasteDuplicateTemplate.

• Process.Template—defines which cloning rule process template is used to clone items in a process structure. This preference is passed as a string property. Values for this preference are:
  Process.Template.Mapping_Consume—clones the existing process and maps all objects consumed in the original process into the cloned process.
  
  Process.Template.Referencing_Consume—clones the existing process and references the objects consumed by the cloned process. Parts and revision IDs in the cloned process are identical to the parts and revision IDs in the original structure.
  
  Process.Template.Ignoring_Consume—clones the existing process and does not map or reference any objects consumed in the original process.

• TC_CLONE_CREATE_BASED_ON—defines how the Based On relation is created between masters and clones in the Manufacturing Process Planner (MPP) application. For this specific relation, the feature handles propagation. If the preference value is true, the Based On relation between the clone and original objects is created for objects in all levels. The default value for this preference is false. Set this preference value to true to enable the clone indication feature.
