General Motors - DCS compliance problem

[kumarm2]

HI,
We are one of the Vendor to GM supplier.
I have problem while running DCS compliance.

DCS compliance is prerequisite as per GM standard.

I have used UGNX2 with same GM file checker(DCS compliance). It is working fine. But when i installed UG NX3. It is giving the below error message,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***** MISCELLANEOUS NX AND UFUNC ENVIRONMENT ERRORS *****

ERROR NO. 1102: Could not validate the site_optional_refset file.
Reference set name: MODEL
Check that the site_optional_file is readable and correctly formatted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To fix this error i have tried several optons but i could not solve it.

Please give me some solution to resolve this issue?

Some members in this forum might be overcome the above mentioned problem.

Please help me out. I need to resolve this issue ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

The team has solved this issue and end up with our problem.

Reply from the team,

"The error got eliminated when we deleted the reference set "MODEL" , But reference set "MODEL" is generated automatically in a UG file by default, so when ever we save the model this reference set is generated again, and the error appears again when we run the file checker. We are trying to find out whether "MODEL" reference can be eliminated. Refer the attached image for the screen shot of the reference set"

Could please suggest how to delete MODEL from refernce set permanenetly from Ref. set?

Look in the default setup files for reference sets. NX does have an option to create a default one as standard. Maybe someone tuned that on for MODEL reference sets.

You are not getting the point. GM file-checker allows the MODEL reference set. Something is wrong with the installation of the GMPDL.

Deleting the reference set may work in this instance but what other problems are going to occur because of the improper installation.

fgbrender is correct about the reference sets, the reasoning behind the error, as well as the MODEL reference set coming back if it's somehow able to be deleted.

I can agree to disagree with fgbrender about the editing of the gmlaunch.dat file...it's just a bunch of environment settings that point to varying locations. Not a big deal for experienced users to understand or learn how it works. On top of that, GM supplies a gmlaunch.dat-ref file that can be renamed to gmlaunch.dat should a user really screw something up in their edited gmlaunch.dat file...that's a BIG reason why it's no longer a big deal to change the .dat file...besides, if you DON'T edit the gmlaunch.dat file AND you've installed NX BEFORE even looking at anything to do with the tookit (as I'm sure a LOT of people have done in the past), you're either going to have to edit the gmlauch.dat file or completely reinstall NX (to C:\eng_apps) to even get the toolkit to run. But hey, that's not the topic of the thread and we're all allowed to have our own opinions. Not a big deal.

kumarm2,

Your people can keep asking for us to fix the problem, but until the toolkit software is installed and configured correctly, I'm afraid they're going to keep having this issue. In case you don't understand, the toolkit install is either missing a file (whatever defines site_optional_refset) or the file is the correct location but has the wrong permissions, name, format, or the toolkit is not pointing to the correct location of the site_optional_refset file. The only way your NX part file is going to pass the current file checker is if you get this site_optional_refset variable issue fixed.

I really don't understand what's so bad about calling GEES helpdesk either....they NORMALLY take your call, assign it to a technical person and then they call you back. Granted, it can take a few days for some major issues, but I've never been in a situation where they don't call back and offer some sort of help. I'd call them again if I were you....they SHOULD be able to assign someone to help confirm the NX and toolkit install is correct back in India if the difference in time zones can be alleviated somehow.

nkwheelguy,

Guess I didn't give much thought to the install directory. Maybe editing the gmlaunch file ain't such a bad idea, by an experienced user, of course

As for the helpdesk, I wasn't suggesting that he not call, I was only suggesting that if he was on site at GM it might be easier to go to the support people directly. Unfortunatly not an option.

GM works in such a customized environment, it has to be difficult for suppliers who have other clients as well.

I'm also curiouse as to how the problem was resolved...
