BOMIST Utilities

BOMIST Utilities

Things you can do with it:

• Convert legacy workspaces into BOMIST v2 workspaces

How to install

This requires Python 3 and the Python Package Installer (pip3) to be installed. You can download it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Once you have them installed, run the following command on your terminal:

$ pip3 install bomist_utils

After installing bomist_utils through pip3 you'll end up with it available on your terminal.

On Windows you might have to re-launch your terminal in order for the bomist_utils command to be recognized.

To make sure it was properly installed run the following command:

$ bomist_utils --help

You should see the available options.

Usage

Convert legacy workspaces

$ bomist_utils --dump1 --ws <wspath> [--out <outpath>]

wspath is the path of the workspace you want to dump. A .ws file must exist in it.

A legacy.bomist_dump file will be created on outpath or in the folder the command was called from if the --out option is not used. This file can then be imported by BOMIST v2.

Limitations

At the moment this utility can only convert and keep data connections between:

parts, documents, labels, storage, categories

Projects, orders and history won't be converted.

To import projects into the new version you can export your BOMs into CSV files in the legacy version (right-click > Export) and then import them in the new version. Parts will be accordingly assigned to BOM designators, as long as those parts exists in the workspace.
