How to transfer DPE description from DP master to other DPs

Post by vy.nguyenthanh@biendongco.vn »

I can't transfer DPE description of DP master to other DPs. It force me to have to enter DPE description into each DP and this wastes time for big projects. Does anyone help me? Thanks

Did you try the other dpGetDescription modes? The default should already return a combination of the master DPE & DP.

Storing the description only at the master DPEs is also positive for the DP identification size, which is loaded by most managers.

If you are using master datapoints the DP description for the elements (not the root node) is normally defined only at the master DP.
For the root node the DP description is defined at the instances.
When then the function dpGetDescription() is called you get a combination of the description for the root node and the element description from the master DP.
