Context

When importing catalog "as new reference" through 3DXML, the OOTB default rules is remaming all the entities (Catalog, chapter, items) with an additionnal suffix

This can be painfull if you have other commands or script that works on the Catalog object names

To avoid this , you can set BL inside the Datasetup to control the name at creation

Here are some sample for the 3 object types  (Catalog, chapter, items). these BL are attach to a Resource set and must be Deploy on the Collab space on which you want to import the data later on 

Datasetup Resource Set : 

• Business Logic implementation

Datasetup Resource : 

• Attribute Initialization

Sample

Usage of the BL with the 3DXML sample

When using this BL with the Following option, the name will be the same as the original file

BUT if you add a Duplication string during import then the BL will use it as a suffix and add also a unique identifier increment

BL inside the Resource Set dedicated to catalog

BL code:
