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=&apos;ItemRevision&apos; and @TYPE=&apos;ItemRevision&apos;]/smn:ATTR_NODES/smn:ATTR_NODE[@INTERNAL_NAME=&apos;structure_revisions&apos; and @VALUE=&apos;&apos;]">    <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=&apos;ItemRevision&apos; and @TYPE=&apos;ItemRevision&apos;]/smn:ATTR_NODES/smn:ATTR_NODE[@INTERNAL_NAME=&apos;structure_revisions&apos; and @VALUE=&apos;&apos;]" -->    <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>
