Problem: Unable to set the status of an assembly (parent) to obsolete when one or more component model files (children) of that assembly are still being used in another active (released) assembly(ies).
Presently Solid Edge is not able to address this common industry practice when using Revision Manger (OS “unmanaged” files versus Insight server “managed” files) as it requires all children of an assembly to be in an obsolete status before the assembly can be obsolete. Consequently we cannot change the assembly status to obsolete. Previous efforts to address this problem through seadmin and options.xml file modifications were unsuccessful.
Question: How are others addressing this scenario who are not using Insight or Team Center?
Additional Request: If this is important to you please contact GTAC and have your company added to Enhancement Request 5328957. More users added to this enhancement request will accelerate the resolution process. If you need assistance contacting GTAC please ask for help.
