Still not up and running yet and we keep finding more andmore things that don't seem to want to work right.
This time its a transition condition that I am trying to get tofunction properly. Our approval process requires that each documentgoes through several departments for review before the change isaccepted and given a new revision. To simplify this process as muchas possible I have altered our data cards to provide two fields foreach department to fill in once they have reviewed and approved adocument. These fields are then checked by a transition conditionbefore the document is allowed to move on to the next stage. Thefirst is a simple name field with two conditions to check forproper entry both of which are working fine.
The second field is a date variable and is governed by a conditionthat checks to ensure the date entered is valid. In this case, astheir are very few options to format this condition with, I haveopted to set the condition to look for a date that is later than anarbitrary date prior to our implementation. While this is less thanideal it works for now. The problem is that it doesn't work. Nomatter what I enter as a date for approval I get the same errormessage "Transition conditions on file 'filename' are not met". Theonly way I have been able to move past this is to delete thecondition that checks the date variable. Currently the condition isformatted as follows:
type: variable, variable name: eng. approval date, argument:>6/01/09, argument type: dateSolidworksSolidworks Pdm enterprise Pdm
