Digital Thread Packages 

Digital Thread Packages are used to group entities for export or import to a Digital Thread (DT) tool (examples include DT brokers such as SBE Vision and Intercase Syndeia as well as point-to-point connections such as the GENESYS adapters to CR-8000, E3, and Sidekick).  This type of package ensures 1:1 mapping between entites and relationships in GENESYS to a corresponding repository subscription on a Digital Thread platform or within another software tool. Digital Thread Packages ensure that data remain consistent in round-tripping scenarios between GENESYS and an external data repository. 

Digital Thread Package entities have one additional attribute that Basic Packages do not have.  This additional attribute is "Subscription ID," which is a string and can contain a UUID pointing to the corresponding location of the instance entity in another data repository. 

NOTE:

Some DT platforms require additional metadata to be associated with each entity.  For example, when using the SBE Vision DT adapter, GENESYS users must first install the SBE Vision schema extension to their project.  See the SBE Vision User's Guide for additional information.

Digital Thread Packages are located in the Project Explorer under Database > Packages. Digital Thread Packages can be nested and contain other Digital Thread Packages.
