Configure FMEA variant creation

You can control which information is inherited from a master FMEA to variant FMEAs when quality engineers create FMEA variants. Configure this behavior by modifying specific sections in the FMEACreateVariantRules.xml configuration file and import it into Teamcenter.

Prerequisites

Create a backup copy of the existing FMEACreateVariantRules.xml file.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the src\solutions\aqc0qcmaw\businessdata\aqc0qcmaw\install\data folder and open the FMEACreateVariantRules.xml file in a text editor.

2. Modify the FMEACreateVariantRules.xml file as per your requirements. Refer to the FMEACreateVariantRules.xml syntax reference for an example configuration.

3. Import the modified FMEACreateVariantRules.xml file into the FMEACreateVariantRule dataset, using the following command.

                Copy`import_file -u=<username> -p=<password> -g=dba -f=${TC_INSTALL_DIR}/ qfm0qcfmea/data/FMEACreateVariantRules.xml -d= FMEACreateVariantRule -ref=Text -type=text -de=r`
                
                    Note 
                        The value of the -d parameter in the command prompt
                            must match the value of the Qfm0CreateVariantConfigFile preference.
                    
                
            
            If you want to verify whether you've done the configurations
                correctly, create a variant
                    FMEA.
