1 Version Overview
Dassault Systèmes announces the release of DELMIA Apriso 2025. This version introduces
key architecture changes for improved upgradability and scalability of the core infrastructure of
DELMIA Apriso, as well as a number of technical and functional enhancements to the existing
modules.
One of the most important changes in this version has been introduced to the DELMIA Apriso
database structure by decoupling solution authoring data storage from the operational data
storage. This update will greatly improve the upgrade process of the entire solution, providing
more flexibility in the testing phase and reducing the production downtime required for the
upgrade.
The evolution of the core infrastructure and its architecture has been continued by introducing
new configuration capabilities for the key infrastructure services—for greater scalability and
high availability in complex and demanding manufacturing environments.

Another technical update has been made to the DELMIA Apriso external messaging, bringing
more flexibility and control to the communication via message bus.
On the functional side, the new enhancements introduced to the data model and business logic
will provide the capability of simplified, yet flexible labor tracking.
This document also describes the enhancements originally delivered in DELMIA Apriso 2024
Service Pack 1. These enhancements are mainly related to translation data integration
between 3DEXPERIENCE platform and DELMIA Apriso, enabling multi-language production
environments to leverage the engineering data continuity.

When upgrading from earlier versions, refer to previous Release Notes for key new
functionalities, enhancements, discontinued features, and known issues.
Release Notes for all supported versions are available at 3DS Support.

2 Key Product Updates

2.1 Database Architecture Transition
DELMIA Apriso database structure has been reorganized to address the tight coupling between
solution authoring and other DELMIA Apriso domains, enhancing modularity and preparing for
future improvements. This was achieved by splitting the database into two independent
databases, which enabled several vital benefits:
Improved upgrade process. The most time-consuming and risky part of the upgrade process
can be performed independently of production downtime. This allows enough time for
validation before stopping production to perform necessary upgrade steps.
Decomposed data storage. Data storage is split into two loosely coupled components,
enabling more flexible and independent management across system areas. This method
enhances the DELMIA Apriso functionality, maintainability, and scalability to better meet
current and future needs.
Improved test and training data recreation. The operational data used for the testing and
training purposes is stored in a separate database, allowing it to be easily restored and
reused repeatedly.
These benefits are delivered as a result of:
Creation of two databases: one for solution authoring data and another for operational data,
which improves modularity and management.
Entity identification and relationship update: identifying the solution authoring entities and
replacing their foreign key relations with business key relations, which makes them more
independent.
Discontinuing standard operation: standard operations have been replaced with data flow
controls (DFCs) for technical purposes and operations for manufacturing modeling.
Tool extensions: enhancements to DELMIA Apriso Process Builder, DELMIA Apriso Global
Process Manager, DELMIA Apriso Desktop Client, and other tools to support the new
architecture.
Package deployment synchronization: DELMIA Apriso Global Process Manager enables
package deployment synchronization between two databases, making database
replacement possible during the upgrade process.
Existing tools adjustment: DELMIA Apriso Database Upgrader and DELMIA Apriso Post-
Upgrade Utility tools have been extended to facilitate the transition to the new architecture,
ensuring a smoother adjustment process.
DELMIA Apriso Release Notes | DELMIA Apriso 2025 5

With all the changes introduced to database architecture, the upgradability of DELMIA Apriso is
still reliable and well-maintained. For details on the upgrade process, refer to DELMIA Apriso
Upgrade Guide.
For details on the conceptual aspects of the changes and their impact on DELMIA Apriso, refer
to Database Architecture Transition Guide.

2.2 3DEXPERIENCE Translation Data Integration

DELMIA Apriso has been enhanced to retrieve and save the attribute translations created on
the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for work plan objects, such as operations, manufacturing items,
and resources. These translations can be applied to titles, descriptions, and work instructions.
The improvements were originally delivered in DELMIA Apriso 2024 Service Pack 1.
The following changes have been introduced:
In Configuration Manager, you can define languages for which translations are retrieved.

Translations are integrated when processes and resources are released.

Translations are retrieved on an ad hoc basis for any language and object.

2.3 Message Bus Improvements

External messaging capabilities have been enhanced with a set of new features that provide
fine-grained control over the publication of and subscription to messages.
The following improvements have been introduced:
Ability to publish a message on a specified Kafka broker partition.
Schema validation when publishing JSON messages to Kafka through the Confluent
Schema Registry.
Possibility to specify header data when publishing a message, and to receive header data
when subscribing to any type of broker.
Support for MQTT version 5.0.

2.4 Scalable Services

DELMIA Apriso services have been enhanced with a set of features that provide modern, highly
available, and scalable deployment architecture.
The enhancements include:

A new recommended architecture for secure, scalable, and highly available DELMIA Apriso
deployment.
DELMIA Apriso Release Notes | DELMIA Apriso 2025 6

Scalability of new workloads, including Business Integrator incoming messages,

maintenance services, and process authoring services.
Support for main-secondary high availability for the Incoming Message Monitor service
without Microsoft failover cluster.
Optional support for client certificates for load balancer deployments.
Health check monitoring to all services.
Scalability and High Availability Deployment Guide that focuses on the automated
cluster configuration, scalability, high availability, and security features.

2.5 Lite Labor Tracking

The Lite Labor Tracking provides DELMIA Apriso labor tracking functionality without the
complex Time and Labor configuration and business logic. The functionality uses business
components to track the employee and resource labor against WIP orders and other entities.

The functionality provides the following enhancements:

Business components to start, stop, update, and delete new simplified labor records.
The new components complement the existing ones for particular labor types.
No configuration required to start labor tracking.
Screen flow for managing the simplified labor records, similar to Time and Labor.
Tree view to display a supervisor and their employees.
Labor grid to view simplified labor records with shortcuts for various time filters.
Modal windows to add or update simplified labor records.
Lite Labor Cockpit Help which provides information about the features of the functionality.

3 Other Updates
3.1 Functional
New Grid 1.0 Export Options
It is now possible to export Grid data to CSV and JSON formats.

Virtual Keyboard
The system now detects native keyboards on mobile devices. When detected, the native
keyboard opens instead of the product keyboard. In addition, the product keyboard now
supports using Chinese characters.

Work Center Import and Export

The Excel file used to import and export data from the Work Center M&M screen is enhanced
with the Work Center Relations tab.

PPR Integration Update

PPR Integration has been enhanced to populate Component Allocation Type for Component
Instance based on the Implement Link Usage. The Implement Link Usage for a component
defined for 3DEXPERIENCE Work Plan can be successfully published to DELMIA Apriso.

Support for Multi-Domain Active Directory Configuration

Windows Integrated Authentication mechanism has been improved. You can now log in to
DELMIA Apriso from different domains.

3.2 Technical
Data Model Enhancements
Specific tables have been enhanced to support large datasets. Primary keys have been
changed from Int to BigInt in the following areas:

Resource Labor
Genealogy
Inventory 2.0
Disposition (Tests, Readings)

Jobs History
Transaction History
WIP Data Collect
DELMIA Apriso Release Notes | DELMIA Apriso 2025 8

The changes apply only to the tables that are expected to grow beyond the limits of the Int data
type.
These updates are a prerequisite for further enhancements planned for future releases. In
DELMIA Apriso 2025 the values larger than Int can be stored in the updated tables, but cannot
be used in the business logic (for example in business components, SQL queries, and other
functions).

File Upload Restrictions

The file upload rules are now stricter. To control which file types are allowed, the
AllowedUploadedFileExtensions Central Configuration key has been added. All other file types
that are not listed are denied.

Extended Distributed Numerical Control (DNC)

The data size for DNC documents has been increased. More attributes can be included in the
file name generation. This improvement allows you to see as much information as possible in
the file name.
Additionally, the information stored in the DOCUMENT_PARAMETER table can now be used
with multiple documents to create a file name. You can add multiple attributes and choose
which must be used to create the file name.

3.3 User Experience

Grid Touch Mode Support
Grid and Tree controls have been optimized for mobile devices. The style is visually consistent
with mouse mode, but the spacing and size of the elements is increased for better usability. For
details on how to enable touch mode, refer to CSS Framework Documentation.

Grid Multi-Selection Changes

Multi-select mode has been enhanced with new logic for both touch and mouse mode.
CTRL/SHIFT + click (mouse) and long-touch gesture (touch) have been introduced to follow the
industry standard. In addition, a Select all/Select none check box has been added to the
header of the selector column. For details, refer to Process Builder Help.

recommends that you manually back up the style formerly used until the DFCs and screens are
tested and functional.

4.5 Known Issues

At Dassault Systèmes, we actively work to deliver the highest quality product. Nevertheless, it
is impossible to isolate or fix every issue present in the product, because these often come from
issues with third-party software that is a prerequisite for using DELMIA Apriso.

DELMIA Apriso in the Turkish Language Requires a Workaround Due to a

Third-Party Issue
When the interface language (and culture) is set to Turkish, DELMIA Apriso cannot fully load
data from the database, causing incomplete page loads and errors if essential data is
inaccessible.
DELMIA Apriso can still be translated into Turkish using an unused locale for the literals as long
as the localization settings (for example, the date/time format) for this locale are acceptable.

3D Models Are Not Displayed in Connected Mode

When an order is created based on the PPR data set published in the connected mode and
loaded in 3D Work Instructions, 3D objects do not appear on the order and operation levels.
This issue is related only to the 3DEXPERIENCE R2025x version.
