Support for Outbound Data Flow
With Windchill ESI installed, Windchill supports API with the ESI module to allow outbound data flow. If Windchill server is configured to store content on an Azure storage account using the Blob Configuration tool, and the property esi.azure.storage.container is set to the appropriate container name via wt.properties, it is possible to write text to a blob within that container. Here are details of how this API can be used.
Package: com.ptc.windchill.esi.utl
Class: ESIBlobUtility
Method: writeTextToAzureBlob
Parameters: String blobNameExcludingContainerName, String text
Returns: true if the number of bytes written is more than 0
Network Requirements
If Windchill deployment is on-prem, ensure that the storage account network config has the egress IP / CIDR for Windchill added to allow-list.
For a PTC managed Windchill deployment, this is already handled.
One can use Windchill supported API to send a JSON message to be processed for integration by invoking this API. This message can further be read from Azure BLOB and processed for further API call or other integration
Outbound Data Flow
Sample Application to Download ERP Response Files from Azure
Windchill now supports storing ESI response files into Azure Blobs. Refer to the sample application to download the ESI response files securely from Azure for further downstream processing. Windchill stores the ESI response files in the pre-configured Azure Blob Containers. The intent of this sample application is to check for and download the new files stored in the container when Windchill objects are published to File or MES type of distribution targets.

2. Set the following environment variables, and then build and run the project.
export PATH_TO_DOWNLOAD= <path to download>
export LOG_FILE= <path to log file>
export FETCHING_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS= <time to rescan and fetch new files>
export SUB_FOLDER_PATH= <specific folder inside the container>
The following value is to be provided by PTC:
export CONTAINER_LEVEL_SAS_URL= <Shared Access Signature URL for that container>
* 
This sample depends on azure-storage-blob library.
