About ENOVIA V6 Import Utility Tool

You can check in documents in batch or silent mode which have either a NEW or MODIFIED status in ENOVIA V6 database using the ENOVIA V6 Import Utility tool. This tool is supported on both Web and Embedded based integrations.

Before any check in, the ENOVIA V6 Import Utility checks the status of each object in Designer Central.

Any object is valid or selected for check in ONLY if it is NEW / MODIFIED for ENOVIA.

If the object is MODIFIED, it should be unlocked, or the current user must have the lock for the object.

If the objects EXISTS, it is not selected for import.

The following table lists the check in criteria depending on the object status and lock status:
