Synchronizing from a Capital Systems Integrator Design

You can synchronize the data from a topological design, authored in Capital Systems Integrator, into one or more harness designs.

Prerequisites

You have read “Considerations for Synchronizing Capital Systems Integrator or Topology Designs”.
A change policy exists to govern the synchronization. See also “Creating a Change Policy” in the Capital Project Manager User Guide.
Components in the source design are assigned to the correct option codes and target harnesses.
The harness designs into which you want to synchronize data exist in the same harness build list. See also “Creating a Build List” in the Capital Project Manager User Guide.
No harness designs into which data is to be synchronized have a status of Released, or are locked.
If you want to map harness levels in the topological design to derivatives of a composite harness design following synchronization, each level must have a Part Number assigned. See also “Harness Levels” in the Capital Systems Integrator User Guide.
To apply filters during synchronization, option or module codes must be specified in the source and target design. See “New Harness Design Dialog Box”.

Procedure

With the project containing the designs to be synchronized open, press Space Bar and enter Synchronize. The Synchronize Harness Designs

Dialog Box is displayed.

Specify a Source Design Type of Integrator Design.
Select the Change Policy to govern the synchronization, from the dropdown list.
Select the Capital Systems Integrator Design Name from the dropdown list. The Available Source Designs field displays the selected design.
Select the Harness Build List from the dropdown list. The Available Harness Designs field lists all designs in the selected build list.
Select the designs to include in the synchronization—both topological and harness—from the appropriate lists.
Click the Harness Mapping tab.Note The Source Harness column lists all harnesses discovered in the topological design, and the Target Harness Design column displays those harness designs with names matching the discovered harnesses.
Where a mapping cannot be created automatically, select a Target Harness Design to match to each Source Harness you want to synchronize, from the dropdown list.Tip Applying filters includes only the required wires, and their related components, and avoids manually de-populating objects in the design following synchronization. Sets of option codes can be defined and stored with the target design or in the project, and can be reused during future synchronization processes. See Synchronization Rules.
To apply filters to each of your harness designs, click the Filter dropdown list and choose one of the following Filter options:None

Applicable Options

Applicable Functional Module Codes

Configuration

Click OK. A progress bar monitors the status of the synchronization. Once complete, click Close.

Results

A Synchronize- Summary tab is added to the Output Window summarizing the creation, update, and deletion of components, along with any errors encountered.

A Synchronize- Detailed tab offers more information on changes to component attributes and properties. Where a component is listed by name, clicking the name highlights the component on the diagram.

Wires and multicores that you have authored in the harness design are not deleted by the synchronization process. This is to preserve “dummy” wires, that you may have added for ‘non-electrical’ reasons.

Note

Once you have successfully synchronized the Capital Systems Integrator design, you can map the topological harness levels to a composite harness’ derivative designs. See also Harness Level Mappings.
