Dear all,

I am going to publish several posts in the coming days/weeks about the functions User Defined Open (and Explore) aka UDO. Those posts will cover both functional and technical side of the function.

UDO - 2 - Deep dive on existing Procedures

UDO - 3 - File Structure description

UDO - 4 - Primitives deep-dive

​​​​​​​UDO - 5 - Interactive Creation

UDO  - 6 - UDO E2E Example + Sample Code

-------------------------------------

When using DELMIA Rich Client apps for Process Engineering activities, one important step before opening any Authoring Apps is the Session Preparation in Mfg Context Builder. Several functions can be used (PPR Smart Completion, PPR Navigator, Relation...) in order to gather all the required objects in the same session.

Those activities can be time consuming depending on the data complexity and volumetric.
Consequence: The session build-up imposes the execution of several completion steps (expand tree, smart completions on implement links, fastener analysis …) manually launched though UI commands available in DELMIA PPR Navigator.​​​​​​​

With the UDO function, it is now possible to have only one query to the Server, with the execution of all the specific logic, how to navigate through the PPR Data directly on the Server side, meaning with very good performance for the user.
Next post will be a detailed presentation about all the OOTB Procedures and their behavior.

Here is a quick preview of a session preparation without UDO (just showing one possible way to do it among many) and the same thing, but using UDO function:

Stay tuned for next post !
