Mandatory S1000D Library Update for Software Compliance for Release 2024-1
Last Updated on July 30, 2024 | 2 min read
We are excited to announce the upcoming release of the NIVOMAX Viewer v3.4.1+. To ensure full compliance with this new version, we require all S1000D Libraries to be republished. This communication outlines the necessary steps and considerations for this update.
Key Points to Note
- Mandatory Library Update: All S1000D Libraries must be republished to comply with NIVOMAX Viewer v3.4.1+.
- Changelog Entry: This update should be recorded in your changelog for software compliance purposes only. It is not an official DDN update with content changes.
- Avoid Concurrent Updates: Although it is possible to perform a DDN Update simultaneously, we highly recommend against it to streamline the process and avoid potential issues.
Background Information
NIVOMAX Builder performs a file comparison using a hashing algorithm to identify new or changed files from the current production data. Normally, only a DDN Update can create a new update package. However, in this special circumstance, the update involves changes to the Builder’s XML > HTML Processor and the Datamodule (DM) Metadata Generator component. These changes result in new HTML and Metadata files, which are flagged as changed by the hashing algorithm and included in the Library Update Archives.
Warning!
Only Run These Steps After the NIVOMAX Builder is upgraded to version:
Back-End
- Version: 3.1.0
- Release: 2024-07-11
- Build: 202407110001
Software Compliance Update Procedure without DDN Update (RECOMMENDED)

- Convert XML to HTML
- Generate Aggregated Tables
- Generate IPD Tables

- Complete Processing Master Data
- Publish to WEB

Concurrent DDN Update Procedure, if opting to combine updates (NOT RECOMMENDED)
If you choose to perform a DDN Update alongside the mandatory library publishing for software compliance, please follow these steps:
- Update Existing Master Data – ATA-100/ S1000D
- Convert CGM to SVG
- Generate DM Metadata
- Convert XML to HTML

Compliance Update Size Estimate
Based on our estimates, the compliance update ZIP file should not exceed 150MB if performed without a concurrent DDN Update.
