Available from version 13.0.5, a light version of Q-DM (Upload) is provided with "Manual Upload". It allows users to manually upload DFQ files to the value database.
It provides a simple interface to select the path from which the data will be uploaded to the value database. When the selection is made, the path is stored in the product INI file.
 |
The following rules apply to manual uploads and cannot be changed: |
| The key fields used are K1001, K1002, K2001 and K2002. | |
| From version 14.0.3.3 and 14.0.4.1, if K1001 is empty, it is automatically filled with n/a (not available). Otherwise, empty key fields are treated as errors. |
|
| All DFQ files in the selected folder and subfolders will be uploaded. | |
| Files with implausible K-field contents are treated as errors. | |
| Files that have been successfully uploaded will be deleted. | |
| Files that have not been uploaded due to an error will be retained. | |
| The overwrite rule always applies, both part data and characteristic data of existing records in the database will be overwritten. | |
 |
The Q-DM must be purchased if these rules are not sufficient. All options can be set here. |
