Workstation-Based Encyclopedia API

The Workstation Encyclopedia API includes read and update functions that provide access to the Toolset local encyclopedia. These functions provide the capability to extract and update model information from models in the local encyclopedia.

You can load the Toolset encyclopedia using a checkout from either a CSE or a Host Encyclopedia or by creating and editing a new model. When the toolset encyclopedia is populated through a checkout, the information available on the Toolset local encyclopedia is limited to the information scoped in a subset or model checkout. These functions allow CA Gen customers and partners to write platform and product independent software to retrieve and update encyclopedia information.
