How to Perform a Revision on a CDR with ATA100 (PDF) Data

Last Updated on July 17, 2024 | 3 min read


This guide provides step-by-step instructions for performing a revision on a Central Data Repository (CDR) with ATA100 data using the NIVOMAX Builder application. Each step can be done between sessions, allowing users to return and continue with the steps yet to be completed. However, these steps should all be performed in sequence to maintain best practices.

Step 1: Update CDR

Import a Data Dispatch Note (DDN) with an Incremental Update

Refer to the guide “Updating a Central Data Repository” to perform this step.

Step 2: Process Temporary Revisions and Supporting Documents

Process supporting documents by adding or removing them as needed. Refer to the guide “Temporary Revisions and Supporting Documents” for details on processing supporting documents.

Step 3: Validate CDR Data

  1. Click the Process Revision icon in the top toolbar.
  2. Select an existing CDR from the CDR Name drop-down list. You can also type the CDR name, and the system will autocomplete and show results for quick reference.
  3. Select the Validate Data radio button.
  4. Click GO.

The validation process checks the CDR for the following errors:

  • Malformed XML
  • Missing files (broken references from Table of Contents configuration XML)
  • XML validation using XSD for structure and compliance

Step 4: Generate SVG Graphics and Diagrams

  1. If returning to continue, click the Process Revision icon in the top toolbar.
  2. Ensure the CDR you want to process is selected.
  3. Select the Generate SVG Graphics and Diagrams radio button.
  4. Click GO.

This process converts Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to be used in the digital output displayed within the NIVOMAX IETP/IETM Viewers. These include Wiring Diagrams available in CGM format.

Step 5: Enhance PDF AIPC (Aircraft Illustrated Parts Catalogue)

  1. If returning to continue, click the Process Revision icon in the top toolbar.
  2. Ensure the CDR you want to process is selected.
  3. Select the Enhance PDF AIPC radio button.
  4. Click GO.

In this step, the NIVOMAX Builder processes all the PDF files included in the Table of Contents configuration XML for the AIPC by adding links between the graphics and parts table, highlighting callouts for click events, and enabling the part item add-to-cart functionality for NIVOMAX Distributions with shopping cart functionality enabled.

Step 6: Index CDR

  1. If returning to continue, click the Process Revision icon in the top toolbar.
  2. Ensure the CDR you want to process is selected.
  3. Select the Index CDR radio button.
  4. Click GO.

This step indexes the entire CDR, including all the generated metadata, to enable search capabilities.

Step 7: Complete CDR Revision

  1. If returning to continue, click the Process Revision icon in the top toolbar.
  2. Ensure the CDR you want to process is selected.
  3. Select the Complete CDR Revision radio button.
  4. Click GO.

Step 8: Perform Go Live

Refer to the guide “How to Perform Go Live and Publish Libraries” for details on performing this step.

By performing a Go Live, you will publish the data for the NIVOMAX Desktop, Mobile, and Network Edition Viewer applications. The NIVOMAX Web Viewer application will begin to see the updated data as soon as Step 10: Complete CDR Revision is performed.

This is the final step in the revision process. Perform this step when the revision processing is complete. Publisher users can repeat the steps above if needed during a revision, including Step 1. However, if repeating a step, you must ensure to perform all the subsequent steps in order to follow best practices.


By following these steps, you will successfully perform a revision on a Central Data Repository (CDR) with S1000D data using the NIVOMAX Builder application. Each step can be completed in separate sessions, ensuring flexibility in your workflow.
