When you select scenarios and processes for import, PowerDesigner
automatically imports the SAP general reference documentation or the project-specific
documentation that they reference, generally including a link to the represented document.
PowerDesigner will also import:
- Document Types - Provide standard types to categorize
documents.
- Document Statuses - [if you have correctly configured the
advanced configuration parameters (see Specifying Advanced Solution Manager Connection Parameters]
Provide standard status names to categorize documents. If the parameters are not
set or no statuses are defined on the server, the standard Copy Editing, In
Processing, Released, and Review statuses will be provided.
You can create project documentation of type URL in PowerDesigner by
clicking the Create an Object tool on the Project
Documentation tab of a scenario, process, or process step property
sheet. To add existing documentation to an object, use the Add
Objects tool.
You cannot create general documentation or documentation types and
statuses, but you can associate existing instances of these objects with your scenarios,
processes, and process steps.
Warning! Project documents that are predefined in a Solution
Manager project template (and are created automatically in a project when you create it
from the template) cannot be subsequently associated with new or existing scenarios,
processes, or process steps. If you do add such a document to a scenario, process, or
step in PowerDesigner, then this change and any other changes you make to the list of
documents associated with the object will not be exported to the Solution Manager
server. A warning message will be displayed during the export, but PowerDesigner will
not be aware of the export failure or of the differences that will subsequently exist
between the documentation associated with the object in the model and the documentation
associated with it on the server.
