That’s exciting news Abbas. Looking forward to giving it a try. We have had success with a similar process of comparing the delivered workspaces for each version to create a delta file which includes only changed classes and properties. We can then review to determine if we will accept changes or not and update our 4 business line configurations accordingly. This works well when updates to the OPM and OPPID tools are delivered separately but can become frustrating when we are updating both tools such as with the OPM 440 and OPPID 523 release. We have found that the common files delivered with both tools (Open plant and supplemental) are not always identical. I assume that these files branched when development of the next build started but were not conformed before being packaged into the delivered workspace. The result is two copies of the same file showing different changes. Ultimately, I am still hoping that you will consider making OPM and OPPID honor the priority of customer created supplemental files rather than hardcoding functions to read specific supplemental files. This would allow us to segregate a high percentage of our changes to a set of corporate, business line, and project supplemental files. Kris Wishart Lead Mechanical Admin Black & Veatch
