Importing Harness Level Definitions (Harness Optimization)

If you have created harness level definitions in a separate installation and exported them in XML format, you can import them for a selected harness.

Note

You should consider how the “Sort harness levels alphanumerically” project preference is set for your project. When you import harness levels, this preference controls the sort order of the imported physical harness levels. See the description for the preference near the bottom of the topic “Project Preferences for Capital Systems Integrator Designs” in the Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User Guide.

Procedure

With a Capital Systems Integrator diagram open, press Space Bar and enter Harness Level optimization; the Harness Level Optimization Dialog Box displays. The harnesses in the design are listed in the Harness table.
Select the harness for which you want to import harness level definitions and click the Define Harness Levels () button; the Harness Levels for: Dialog Box displays.
Click the Import Levels from Level definition file () button; the Import Levels dialog box displays.
Navigate to the XML file containing the harness level definitions.
Specify whether you want to “Retain existing levels”.If you select this, existing levels with the same name as an imported level are overwritten and existing levels with a different name from all of the imported levels are retained. If you do not select this. existing levels with the same name as an imported level are overwritten but existing levels with a different name from all of the imported levels are deleted.
Click Import.The harness levels display in the Levels table. Any previously defined harness levels are retained, deleted or updated as appropriate. The Set as Active setting for any matching levels does not change.
To apply the imported levels, click the OK button. If you do not want to apply the imported harness levels, click the Cancel button.The following validation checks are performed: The options that affect the harness must exist in the project options list.

The vehicle models supported by each level must exist in the project.

The vehicle model reference elements must have a name attribute.

The options supported by each level must exist in the project.

The option elements must have a name attribute.

Any option supported by a level must be included in the options that affect a harness.

A level can contain a child level but a child level cannot contain another child level.

There cannot be more than one level element with the same name attribute.

A child level cannot have a part number.

There cannot be two level attributes with the same name attribute in the file.

If there are any errors with importing or validating the data from the XML file, a message is displayed and the import is aborted.
