Implementation
General Procedure
To synchronize updates from Windchill to FORAN:
1. Create a process.
2. Create a job.
3. Provide valid input parameters (UFIDS or UFIDS_FILE).
4. Run the job.
The process consists of the following steps. For detailed information, see
Process Template1. Generate a sync package.
2. Import data from Windchill to FORAN.
3. Windchill acknowledgement.
You can export object collections from Windchill to FORAN. The following features are supported.
• Input is provided using two parameters: ‘UFIDS’ and ‘UFIDS_FILE’
◦ UFIDS are accepted using a string format. Multiple UFIDS are separated by commas.
◦ UFIDS_FILE is accepted using a file path in a string format, where the file contains UFIDS separated by commas or one UFID per line.
◦ Either of the fields UFIDS or UFIDS_FILE is required. If both fields are null, then an exception message is presented. If both fields contain a value, then priority is given to UFIDS_FILE.
◦ Invalid UFIDS are ignored with a warning message presented.
◦ If an object for a corresponding UFID does not exist on the exported system, a warning message is presented.
