Assumptions
For the purposes of this section the following assumptions are made:
• B2MML ‘Publish’ model to synch information from Windchill Integration for MES is used. However, integration using Windchill ESI proprietary format is still possible with other MES systems.
• Integration uses a File type delivery for an MES distribution target to connect to the MES system and transaction handling with B2MML format is supported for File type delivery using a zip package. However, other types of delivery mechanisms can be used by way of customization.
• Acknowledgement of message consumption happens using PostResult Web Service and not using B2MML ConfirmBOD message.
• The Windchill object Number attribute is used to identify an object uniquely in B2MML message for the MES system.
