Smart Collection Objects
The Smart Collection feature provides the ability to break a complex structure into cohesive or workable chunks from which manufacturing planning can be executed. In
Windchill ESI, you can publish a smart collection using the ERP Connector. Read more
about smart collection.
Windchill ESI passes smart collection objects to the EAI software components. Information related to a smart collection object is published in the following element types in the ESI response:
• AddedSmartCollection
• ChangedSmartCollection
• UnchangedSmartCollection
The following table describes different element tags in the ESI response message:
