Note: This article applies only to AAIA Legacy Documents. Legacy tables were removed from the VCdb in 2013! AceMapper still provides Legacy support, but only if the Legacy tables are found in the VCdb. You can use our RetroVCdb product to recreate the Legacy tables using current VCdb configurations.
Why aren’t all the submodels removed after Legacy compression?
There are a couple of possible reasons:
-
The most common cause why submodels remain after compression (for a product group that doesn’t depend on submodel) would be incomplete coverage in the original Legacy file. All of the AAIA_IDs must be covered by the part number in order for the 14 attributes to be removed. (This could be the result of AAIA_IDs being obsoleted, for example.)
-
The VCdb added a submodel to a model that was not in the MM table used for the original mapping (or a submodel was missed in the original mapping), For example, the 2003 Buick Century has applications for Custom and Limited. ACES also has a Base submodel which is not covered by an application.
