Management of originals content versions in DMS/ECTR

[sdalmaso]

Hi experts,

our company would like to activate content versions on inventor files. This could be a safety belt against wrong save or stepbacks in the design process. We use ECTR V 5.01.14.00 - 510 / 0014

Actually we easilly understood how to activate it by customizing but I wasn't able to find any documentation about the management of theese objects.

F.e. I would like to limit to a certain number the allowed content versions (let's say the last five). Moreover, I can't find a way to manually delete theese content versions automatically created.

Are theese features achievable by customizing? Or should be operated by code?

Hope you can help me find a way through.

Best regards

Samuele

I don't know a feature or customizing in standard to limit the number of content versions.

By code it can be done this way:

 CALL FUNCTION 'CV120_KPRO_PHIO_DELETE'
    EXPORTING
      pf_phio = iv_phio
    EXCEPTIONS
      error   = 1
      OTHERS  = 2.

I suggest you to create an Influence request in this area: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/2452 "ERP PLM 2021 - Product Lifecycle Data Management".

There exist already 3rd party solutions for this use case by CAD partners. In the note 2303714 you can find the contacts of the partners. From DSC Software AG there exists product "++processAutomation" which covers the use case to reduce the number of content versions.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Actually, someone already did it 🙂

It is accepted so we just need to wait for the release, I suppose
