Editing the datamapping.xml file
To edit the datamapping.xml file, locate the file and open it in a text or XML editor. Typically, this file is located in your %TC_DATA% directory. Locate the following lines of code:
<smn:NODE_RELATIONS> <!--A TC_CAE_Target relationship will be created between the input and the output item revisions--> <smn:NODE_RELATION RELATIONSHIP_TYPE="TC_CAE_Target"> <smn:PRIMARY_NODE CLASS="ItemRevision" TYPE="CAEModelRevision" FOCUS="OUT"/> <smn:SECONDARY_NODE CLASS="ItemRevision" TYPE="ItemRevision" FOCUS="IN"/> </smn:NODE_RELATION> <!-- A TC_CAE_Source rel will be created between the input and output if the output is not a sub-assembly --> <xsl:if test="$node/smn:NODES/smn:NODE/smn:NODE_LINE[@CLASS='ItemRevision' and @TYPE='ItemRevision']/smn:ATTR_NODES/smn:ATTR_NODE[@INTERNAL_NAME='structure_revisions' and @VALUE='']"> <smn:NODE_RELATION RELATIONSHIP_TYPE="TC_CAE_Source"> <smn:PRIMARY_NODE CLASS="ItemRevision" TYPE="CAEModelRevision" FOCUS="OUT"/> <smn:SECONDARY_NODE CLASS="ItemRevision" TYPE="ItemRevision" FOCUS="IN"/> </smn:NODE_RELATION> </xsl:if></smn:NODE_RELATIONS>
Delete or comment out the opening and closing xsl:if statements, as highlighted in bold:
<smn:NODE_RELATIONS> <!--A TC_CAE_Target relationship will be created between the input and the output item revisions--> <smn:NODE_RELATION RELATIONSHIP_TYPE="TC_CAE_Target"> <smn:PRIMARY_NODE CLASS="ItemRevision" TYPE="CAEModelRevision" FOCUS="OUT"/> <smn:SECONDARY_NODE CLASS="ItemRevision" TYPE="ItemRevision" FOCUS="IN"/> </smn:NODE_RELATION> <!-- A TC_CAE_Source rel will be created between the input and output if the output is not a sub-assembly --> <!-- <xsl:if test="$node/smn:NODES/smn:NODE/smn:NODE_LINE[@CLASS='ItemRevision' and @TYPE='ItemRevision']/smn:ATTR_NODES/smn:ATTR_NODE[@INTERNAL_NAME='structure_revisions' and @VALUE='']" --> <smn:NODE_RELATION RELATIONSHIP_TYPE="TC_CAE_Source"> <smn:PRIMARY_NODE CLASS="ItemRevision" TYPE="CAEModelRevision" FOCUS="OUT"/> <smn:SECONDARY_NODE CLASS="ItemRevision" TYPE="ItemRevision" FOCUS="IN"/> </smn:NODE_RELATION> <!-- </xsl:if> --></smn:NODE_RELATIONS>
