DataConfig™ Data Configuration Management Tool
|
| |
Overview
In modern company design environment, in order to finish the
complex product development, it needs to employ various design
methods and techniques, using various engineering application
software, working as a collaborative team and being through
multiple engineering change.
DataConfig™ specializes in integrating dispersedly saved, isomerous and cross-system distributed design data from EDA/CAD environment to company's central database. It records and trace development history of design data, enabling data synchronization in team collaborative design, providing a personalized work view to design participants.
DataConfig™ provides creation and development of company's
core value - IP with rich data resource, builds an emulational
data management system for digital sample design from such
engineering fields as IC, electronic system and software design,
enabling integration with information management systems like
PDM/PLM/SDM.
Value:
• Establish company-level data mining library, completely
filing design history through centralized and reproduction
methods;
• Role-based design activity view;
• Building virtual storage center, enabling centralized
configuration and management for dispersed work space;
• Seamlessly access to engineering application environment,
enabling data inter-operation;
• Incremental storing design data, reducing design cost.
Features

 |
Centralized Storage of Developed Data at Company-Level |
| |
Data configuration management integrates dispersed data as well as achieves design collaboration and data share. DataConfig™ creates and manages company-level data mining library which records version history of every period, modules and technique documents from design definition to prototype. Featuring functions includes Quick version search and data roll-back.

|
 |
Incremental Data Version Management |
| |
With the development of design data versions, data storage increases fast, which has brought huge pressure to company's storage resource. DataConfig™ consolidatedly configures and plans project storage space, meanwhile solves various format engineering data and document incremental storage problems, effectively reducing the resource cost.
|
 |
Role-Based Data View Management |
| |
In order to establish standard data management environment, it is necessary to determine each role's scale according to participants' task or managing responsibility. DataConfig™ determines personal data operational space according to role-based access control; achieves data interactive access and share among teams through "multiple greyscale transparency". Providing managing level with a full-view, N-tires design data graphic.

 |
Uniform Work Space Mapping and Configuration |
| |
DataConfig™ reflects work space dispersed in isomerous system onto unified configurative management platform. According to demand for project data management, system administrator increases or decreases storage space in member's work space, maximizing the efficient usage of storage resource.
|
 |
Data Structural Management |
| |
Through analysis of engineering data done by built-in product
structure analysis engine, DataConfig™ extracts from design
tools hierarchical data structure of IC, electronic system and
software products, and then reflects this structurual tree to
version bank. Therefore it enables users to browse and operate
data via product hierarchical structure.
|
 |
Data Integration with Engineering Software |
| |
According to technical features of project design methods, DataConfig™ selects linksets that fit actual design environment, enabling seamless integration of data management and engineering software of design flow.
