Package import fails without MPP installed #4

Closed EliJDonahue closed 6 years ago

EliJDonahue commented 6 years ago

Expected Behavior

Package import should succeed without error when the target Aras install meets the documented prerequisites:

  1. Aras Innovator installed (version 11.0 SPx preferred)
  2. Aras Package Import tool
  3. Import package of this project

Actual Behavior

The following import error occurs if MPP is not installed in the target Aras database:

Import Error

This is because the ItemType references the Manufacturing Engineering identity for TOC access and Can Add permission. The Manufacturing Engineering identity only exists in systems where MPP is installed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Import the project package into a database that does not have MPP installed.

Proposed Solution

Since this project can be used with the MPP or Technical Documentation applications, the default TOC access and permissions should reference a common identity or add a custom identity. That way the project can be used in a database that has only Technical Documentation installed and not MPP.

The readme documentation should also be updated to reflect that MPP and/or Technical Documentation must be installed as a prerequisite.

I'm working on a fix for this issue and will submit a pull request with my proposed fix.
