wrong search result in PDM Enterprise

Christian Koeferstein Feb 19, 2010 6:49 AM

Hello,

we have E PDM 2010 10.2 B174, the following problem :

we seek, for example, the part number 0815. In the search result (Explorer view) the number 0815 appears, but this is wrong. If you look at the card there is not the number 0815 in this field. I have looked at the cards all is ok. Also in the Database the datas are stored correctly. User rights ok...

Any Idea ?

Greetings

Chris

Hello Christian,

Did you check all configurations?

Best Regards,
Joy

  Hello Joy,
  
  do you mean the configuration of the part or the versions of the part. we have only one configuration each part and also one serial number....

    Hi Christian -
    
    Well, I meant part configurations (which can be serialized individually).
    But versions is also a consideration. Did a previous version ever contain the value?
    
    Regards,
    Joy

      Hi Joy,
      
      ok, i have looked at the part configurations @ and Standard there is the right number placed in this field, but when i start the search again - > wrong .
      I try to copy some examples here in the community.
      
      You see at the card in the field dahle_artikelnummer the value xxxxxxx and in the search result at the same part is displayed the xxxxxxx.
      
      Regards
      
      Christian

        Hello,
        
        now we found the answer, we placed the variable "search in older versions" on the search card. It works !
        
        Regards

        My searches return no results at all. Can someone please explain what Christian means by 'we placed the variable "search in older versions"'? I don't see that option anywhere.

        Thanks Wayne.. The point I was really missing was the existence of 'Search Variables'. I needed to spend a good bit more time re-learning the means of creating and using Search Cards. I had also failed to include the searchable fields on the file data cards, so naturally that info could not be found. I am in the process of correcting these problems this morning.
