Fellow Forum Members,
The PTC suite of apps listed below has just been installed on my computer by my employer:
- CSDB for S1000D (Control Station)
- CSDB for S1000D (Task Station)
- Publisher for S1000D
- Provisioning Manager
- Parts Catalog Manager
- LSA Interface
My goal now is to figure out if the following is possible. Let's say for example sake I have created the following two projects using the CSDB (Control Station) application:
- PROJECT A contains data modules 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A
- PROJECT B contains data modules 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B (which has as a baseline PROJECT A, but all data modules 1B thru 5B contain addtional unique data that has been added).
I want to be able to dynmically link data module "1B" to data module "1A" (which resides in an entirely different project) so that when I make a change to data module 1A it automatically updates data module 1B as far as the basline data goes but the additional newly added data in 1B stays untouched. .
Not sure which of the following options is the correct way to go. Can this "dynamic link" I want to establish between the two data modules residing two different Projects best be done using an Alias or a RefDM or by using a Container? Those are the 3 options I have researched but I would like this community to enlighten me as to which of the three options is the most solid option to go with for setting up the S1000D conditional logic workflow for a DoD Technical Publication Department that produces a lot of technical documentation on a yearly basis. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
