DtsPdmMap Element
The DTSPdmMap element specifies the individual attributes for the defect-tracking system and the Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software attributes to which they must be mapped. A typical DTSPdmMap element appears as follows:
<DtsPdmMap integrityDTS="Assigned User" pdm="Assignee" type="String"/>
Using the previous example, when a defect is created, the system checks the assignee name in the defect-tracking system against the predefined assignee names. If a match is found, the value of the attribute Assignee is copied from the matched predefined attributes.
The type attribute in the DTSPdmMap element is used to specify the data type of the defect-tracking system attribute being mapped to Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software. The type attribute supports the following values:
String—The mapped attribute of the defect-tracking system is a string.
Timestamp—The mapped attribute of the defect-tracking system is a Timestamp.
Int—The mapped attribute of the defect-tracking system is an integer.

Attribute mapping must be a one-to-one mapping for built-in fields; there can be custom DTS fields with no mapping. For each defect-tracking system attribute for built-in fields; there must be a single Windchill attribute. If there is no mapping available for a particular defect-tracking system attribute, the corresponding field must be kept empty or omitted.
