Configuration files for the DELMIA Web Apps are defined as a custom parameter set on the platform, and can be created using the ENOVIA Document Management App.
Launch ENOVIA Document Management
Create a new document with “MFNParameters” as a prefix – E.g., MFNParameters_ExampleSet
MGAParameters – Process Management
SVRParameters – Service Process Management
SIEParameters – Service Items Management
RMEParameters – Recipe Management
This document will act as a container for its associated web app, where you may upload all XML configuration files for your desired customization.
Selecting the Custom Parameter Set
The custom parameter set can be applied by the following. Note that there are options to block the user from changing to a different parameter set:
Select the custom parameter set in the preferences of the Widget
Set the custom parameter set as the default in Collaborative Spaces Control Center
Operations Engineering -> User Experience -> Web Application Preferences.
Wait for “Deploy” Column to show check mark after any changes are made.
Applying a Customized Name to the Parameter Set
DELMIA Web Apps Parameter Sets require a specific prefix (like MFNParameters/MGAParameters) to be recognized. However, for a cleaner experience, a custom name can be set by uploading a zip file named xmlparams.zip to the document only in the Web App drop down menu.
Using a text editor such as Notepad++, create a new json file named meta_en.json
A single line will be used to define the name of the parameter set:
{"title":"Example Custom Parameter Set"}
Save the json file and directly compress it to a zip file with name: xmlparams.zip
Ensure you do not create a folder xmlparams inside the zip file.
Upload the file to your ENOVIA document
Note that there is no change to the file name inside ENOVIA Document Management.
Launch Manufacturing Items Management. If the file does not initially show up, try refreshing your browser.
This functionality is highlighted when using the OOTB column customization tool covered in the Column Configuration section.
After the parameter set has been initialized, we can start adding XML files to fit our needs. It is required for the configuration files in the ENOVIA document to match the expected name defined in the configuration files documentation.
Updating & Revising Parameter Sets
An ENOVIA Document can be set to In-Work and still be used as a custom parameter set, enabling users/admins to easily update the configuration files.
Released documents must be revised to be updated. If the name of the file is unchanged between revisions it will appear with the revision in brackets.
