Tips to help troubleshoot XML import problems:
- The SOLIDWORKS PDM database server
service processes the XML files. Ensure that the
service has full access to the source path of the XML
files.
- Verify that the database server service is correctly configured and that it is running.
- For details
about problems during import, examine the application event log on the system
running the database server service.
- When the database server service
starts, all import rules run regardless of the frequency indicated in each rule.
- The
ImportBatches
database table lists the XML files that have been imported successfully.
- The
ImportDocumentVariables
database table lists imported variable values that have been matched to
a document in the vault but have not been written to a file data card.
- When an import succeeds, the XML file is removed from the directory.
- If part of an import succeeds, the successful transaction nodes are deleted from the XML file.
- If part or all of an import fails, the attribute
ignored=-1
is inserted in the XML node, which prevents the document from being processed in later updates.
-
When using the combination of
id
, idattribute
, and cfgname
to identify the files to update, the system does not indicate when attributes are not found. The system interprets no matching files found in the vault as a success and deletes the XML file without storing data in the database.
