Document Tile Version Date 4 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 4 2 DRAWbridge Configuration 2.1 Overview It is necessary, to obtain the best performances possible, that DRAWbridge does not process documents that can’t have references. e.g. Microsoft Office documents, are not processed by DRAWbridge when manipulating them. All settings related to DRAWbridge are stored in the Repository in: /System/BTM Software Europe/DRAWbridge/DRAWbridge_xml When editing the XML configuration sheet, the associated DTD schema must be at the same location than the XML file. The DTD schema can be found in /System/BTM Software Europe/DRAWbridge/DRAWbridge_dtd. It is therefore recommended to check it out with the XML configuration sheet. In order for the DRAWbridge caching mechanism to function properly, it is very important to ALWAYS check any XML configuration file as a new version. Also to ensure the validity of information passed to the CAD packages supported, e.g.: ensuring that a DGN is returned when attaching a reference file and no other format, a section of the XML configuration sheet is dedicated to each CAD package supported. This section allows defining what formats are native to the CAD package for referencing, Raster formats supported for raster referencing. All formats not defined in this section can be associated to another document but not as a native (raster) reference or xRef. 5 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 5 2.2 XML Rules This section describes the rules applied to the DRAWbridge XML configuration sheet. The XML technology is case sensitive therefore; make sure to follow the XML rules as defined below. 2.2.1 DRAWbridge Quantity exactly once Description Root-element of the XML-file.

A user can update the title block within the CAD document from its repository properties or update the repository properties from the drawing’s title block. Due to the many different ways of handling dates and booleans, updating the repository properties of a document from its title block is only effective on integers, doubles and strings. The title block configuration is done in a separate XML configuration sheet because it is the same configuration used by BLCbridge 1 DRAWbridge can handle two different types of Property Mappings: Type specific mappings. Those mappings apply ONLY to the given object type. High level mappings applying to dm_document objects and sub-types. Obviously, no other than dm_document properties should be defined in this section. Those mappings are defined per application (CAD package) and can be different per packages. All settings related to the title block update are stored in the Docbase in: /System/BTM Software Europe/BLCbridge/BLCbridge_xml When editing the XML configuration sheet, the associated DTD schema must be at the same location than the XML file. The DTD schema can be found in /System/BTM Software Europe/BLCbridge/BLCbridge_dtd. It is therefore recommended to check it out with the XML configuration sheet. 1 BLCbridge is a BTM Software product that ensures effective synchronisation of the attributes of CAD-files as they are stored in the Documentum Repository with their attribute values stored in the title block of the drawing. 10 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 10 In order for the DRAWbridge caching mechanism to function properly, it is very important to ALWAYS check any XML configuration file as a new version. On setting up the property mappings, the following rules have to be followed: The Target of the mapping is the name of the custom document property. The Source of the mappings is the name of the Documentum attribute. The Targets have to be unique for the document type independent mapping, as well as in each document type specific mapping. If a Target is defined in the independent mappings and in the specific mappings for a document type, the definition of the specific mapping overrides the independent mapping for this single document type. If wildcards are to be used, define these mappings using wildcards at the end of the independent / document type specific mappings. Wildcards in a Source can only be used, if a wildcard is also used in the Target. There can only be 1 wildcard in a definition. 11 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 11 3.2 XML Rules 3.2.1 BLCbridge Quantity Description Parent Element(s) Child Element(s) Attributes Example exactly once Root-element of the XML-file.

General, DocumentType DQL Target (single, required): Name custom document property. Source (single, required): Name of the Documentum attribute or special source. Special sources are: xBlank – An empty string will be written to the custom document property. xLifecycleState – The name of the current lifecycle state of the document will be written to the custom document property xLifecycleName – The name of the current lifecycle of the document will be written to the custom document property xDocBase – The name of the Docbase, in which the document is stored is written to the custom document property xFolderpath – The (first) folder path of the document is written to the custom document property Attributes RepeatingIndex (single, optional): Defines, which value of the repeating attribute should be used. Possible values are: None – used for single attributes First – for the first value of the repeating attribute Last – for the last value of the repeating attribute All – for all values of the repeating attribute (comma separated) Value (single, optional): If Value is set to a not empty string, this string will be written as fixed value to the custom document property Format (single, optional): Format definition, which should be used to display the value (e.g. for date values). A description of the format description features can be found in Appendix A Format Qualifiers of this document. useMappedValue (single, optional): If set to True, DRAWbridge will ALWAYS used the value mappings instead of the stored value, meaning that if it is set to true but no mappings are defined, the return will ALWAYS be an empty string. 15 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 15 Example Direction (String, Optional): Defines if the title block or the Documentum properties are to be modified. Valid values are All – Attribute definition used both for updating the title block and updating the properties. This is the default behaviour if the Direction attribute not defined. Title – The attribute definition is used ONLY when updating the title block Meta – The attribute definition is used ONLY when updating the document’s properties from the title block <Attribute Target=”dctm_object_name” ..Source=”object_name” Direction=”Title” /> <Attribute Target=”dctm_version” Source=”r_version_label” RepeatingIndex=”First”/> <Attribute Target=”Status” Source=”xLifecycleState”/> <Attribute useMappedValue=”True” Target=”Discipline” Source=”discipline_code” Direction=”Meta” /> <Attribute Target=”dctm_creation_date” Source=”r_creation_date” Format=”dd-mmm-yyyy”/> 16 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 16 3.2.10 DQL Quantity Exactly once Definition of the DQL statement to be executed to retrieve values from other Description objects than the document being processed. Parent Element(s) Attribute Child Element(s) N/A Type (String, Required): Object type to be queried Attributes Property (String, Required): Specifies the attribute to be returned by the DQL statement. Clause (String, Required): Specifies the WHERE statement. Example <Attribute Target="OWNER_EMAIL" Source="xDQL"> <DQL Type="dm_user" Property="user_address" Clause="user_name='$value(owner_name)'" /> </Attribute> Note the usage of the (only) keyword allowed: $value(<property_name>). Using this keyword will fetch the value of the property for the document being processed, to be used in the DQL statement as demonstrated in the example above. 17 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 17 Appendix A. I. Format Qualifiers Date / Time Formats The following table identifies characters you can use to create user-defined date/time formats: Character (:) (/) c d dd ddd dddd ddddd dddddd w ww m mm mmm mmmm q y yy yyyy h Description Time separator. In some locales, other characters may be used to represent the time separator. The time separator separates hours, minutes, and seconds when time values are formatted. The actual character used as the time separator in formatted output is determined by your system settings. Date separator. In some locales, other characters may be used to represent the date separator. The date separator separates the day, month, and year when date values are formatted. The actual character used as the date separator in formatted output is determined by your system settings. Display the date as ddddd and display the time as ttttt, in that order. Display only date information if there is no fractional part to the date serial number; display only time information if there is no integer portion. Display the day as a number without a leading zero (1 – 31). Display the day as a number with a leading zero (01 – 31). Display the day as an abbreviation (Sun – Sat). Display the day as a full name (Sunday – Saturday). Display the date as a complete date (including day, month, and year), formatted according to your system's short date format setting. The default short date format is m/d/yy. Display a date serial number as a complete date (including day, month, and year) formatted according to the long date setting recognized by your system. The default long date format is mmmm dd, yyyy. Display the day of the week as a number (1 for Sunday through 7 for Saturday). Display the week of the year as a number (1 – 54). Display the month as a number without a leading zero (1 – 12). If m immediately follows h or hh, the minute rather than the month is displayed. Display the month as a number with a leading zero (01 – 12). If m immediately follows h or hh, the minute rather than the month is displayed. Display the month as an abbreviation (Jan – Dec). Display the month as a full month name (January – December). Display the quarter of the year as a number (1 – 4). Display the day of the year as a number (1 – 366). Display the year as a 2-digit number (00 – 99). Display the year as a 4-digit number (100 – 9999). Display the hour as a number without leading zeros (0 – 23). 18 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 18 Character Hh N Nn S Ss ttttt AM/PM am/pm A/P a/p AMPM Description Display the hour as a number with leading zeros (00 – 23). Display the minute as a number without leading zeros (0 – 59). Display the minute as a number with leading zeros (00 – 59). Display the second as a number without leading zeros (0 – 59). Display the second as a number with leading zeros (00 – 59). Display a time as a complete time (including hour, minute, and second), formatted using the time separator defined by the time format recognized by your system. A leading zero is displayed if the leading zero option is selected and the time is before 10:00 A.M. or P.M. The default time format is h:mm:ss. Use the 12-hour clock and display an uppercase AM with any hour before noon; display an uppercase PM with any hour between noon and 11:59 P.M. Use the 12-hour clock and display a lowercase AM with any hour before noon; display a lowercase PM with any hour between noon and 11:59 P.M. Use the 12-hour clock and display an uppercase A with any hour before noon; display an uppercase P with any hour between noon and 11:59 P.M. Use the 12-hour clock and display a lowercase A with any hour before noon; display a lowercase P with any hour between noon and 11:59 P.M. Use the 12-hour clock and display the AM string literal as defined by your system with any hour before noon; display the PM string literal as defined by your system with any hour between noon and 11:59 P.M. AMPM can be either uppercase or lowercase, but the case of the string displayed matches the string as defined by your system settings. The default format is AM/PM. Examples: Format string dd.mm.yyyy dd. mmm yyyy dd. mmmm yyyy Hh:Nn Output 28.04.2003 28. Apr 2003 28. April 2003 16:53 19 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 19 II. Numeric Formats Character None (0) (#) (.) (%) (,) Description Display the number with no formatting. Digit placeholder. Display a digit or a zero. If the expression has a digit in the position where the 0 appears in the format string, display it; otherwise, display a zero in that position. If the number has fewer digits than there are zeros (on either side of the decimal) in the format expression, display leading or trailing zeros. If the number has more digits to the right of the decimal separator than there are zeros to the right of the decimal separator in the format expression, round the number to as many decimal places as there are zeros. If the number has more digits to the left of the decimal separator than there are zeros to the left of the decimal separator in the format expression, display the extra digits without modification. Digit placeholder. Display a digit or nothing. If the expression has a digit in the position where the # appears in the format string, display it; otherwise, display nothing in that position. This symbol works like the 0 digit placeholder, except that leading and trailing zeros aren't displayed if the number has the same or fewer digits than there are # characters on either side of the decimal separator in the format expression. Decimal placeholder. In some locales, a comma is used as the decimal separator. The decimal placeholder determines how many digits are displayed to the left and right of the decimal separator. If the format expression contains only number signs to the left of this symbol, numbers smaller than 1 begin with a decimal separator. To display a leading zero displayed with fractional numbers, use 0 as the first digit placeholder to the left of the decimal separator. The actual character used as a decimal placeholder in the formatted output depends on the Number Format recognized by your system. Percentage placeholder. The expression is multiplied by 100. The percent character (%) is inserted in the position where it appears in the format string. Thousand separator. In some locales, a period is used as a thousand separator. The thousand separator separates thousands from hundreds within a number that has four or more places to the left of the decimal separator. Standard use of the thousand separator is specified if the format contains a thousand separator surrounded by digit placeholders (0 or #). Two adjacent thousand separators or a thousand separator immediately to the left of the decimal separator (whether or not a decimal is specified) means "scale the number by dividing it by 1000, rounding as needed." For example, you can use the format string "##0,," to represent 100 million as 100. Numbers smaller than 1 million are displayed as 0. Two adjacent thousand separators in any position other than immediately to the left of the decimal separator are treated simply as specifying the use of a thousand separator. The actual character used as the thousand separator in the formatted output depends on the Number Format recognized by your system. 20 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 20 Character (:) (/) (E- E+ e- e+) -+$() (\) ("ABC") Description Time separator. In some locales, other characters may be used to represent the time separator. The time separator separates hours, minutes, and seconds when time values are formatted. The actual character used as the time separator in formatted output is determined by your system settings. Date separator. In some locales, other characters may be used to represent the date separator. The date separator separates the day, month, and year when date values are formatted. The actual character used as the date separator in formatted output is determined by your system settings. Scientific format. If the format expression contains at least one digit placeholder (0 or #) to the right of E-, E+, e-, or e+, the number is displayed in scientific format and E or e is inserted between the number and its exponent. The number of digit placeholders to the right determines the number of digits in the exponent. Use E- or e- to place a minus sign next to negative exponents. Use E+ or e+ to place a minus sign next to negative exponents and a plus sign next to positive exponents. Display a literal character. To display a character other than one of those listed, precede it with a backslash (\) or enclose it in double quotation marks (" "). Display the next character in the format string. To display a character that has special meaning as a literal character, precede it with a backslash (\). The backslash itself isn't displayed. Using a backslash is the same as enclosing the next character in double quotation marks. To display a backslash, use two backslashes (\\).Examples of characters that can't be displayed as literal characters are the date-formatting and time-formatting characters (a, c, d, h, m, n, p, q, s, t, w, y, / and :), the numericformatting characters (#, 0, %, E, e, comma, and period), and the string-formatting characters (@, &, <, >, and !). Display the string inside the double quotation marks (" "). To include a string in format from within code, you must use Chr(34) to enclose the text (34 is the character code for a quotation mark (")). Examples: Value 12345 12345,67 12345,00 123 12345,67 Format string #.### #.###,00 #.###,00 00000 #.###,00 “€” Output 12.345 12.345,67 12.345,00 00123 12.345,67 € 21 DRAWbridge for Webtop July 2012 Page 21 EHQ - BTM Software Europe B.V.
