ESIClassName

This group contains the global variables that represent the class names of various objects like parts, BOMs, CNs, and process plans. If class names are changed in Windchill then these values also need to be changed accordingly.

These variables are used to compare and identify a type of object. Based on the identified type, a message is written to the Process Archive log.

ESIConstants

This group contains global variables for constant values; For example actions like Create, Change, Unchange, Delete and for boolean values like true, false.

ESIFlags

This group contains global variables that define actions based on the boolean value they are set to.

ESIJMS

This group contains global variables for JMS connection and related activities.

ESILog

This group contains global variables used to configure and identify the information that needs to written to the Process Archive log.

ESIMessaging

This group contains global variables used to configure and identify the information that needs to be sent to Windchill.

ESIMail

This group contains global variables used for configuring e-mail parameters.

ESIPaddingTruncate

This group contains global variables used to configure lengths for padding and truncation. Padding is automatic when certain object numbers are numeric. Truncation is based on the values set for the global variables in the ESIFlags group. For example; truncateNameDescription_Enable (SAP only).

ESIOthers

This group contains various other independent global variables used in the business logic.

ControlAttributesMaster

Oracle Object Attribute Master Control Flag

This flag specifies whether

Item attributes in the Oracle Applications distribution target system are controlled at the master level or the organization level.

If the flag is set to true, the Windchill ESI business logic will check if the master organization is included in the Windchill PDMLink data published for each particular Item. If it was not sent, then the Windchill ESI business logic creates the data to be published to the master organization. If the flag is set to false, the Windchill ESIbusiness logic continues normal processing, and expects every distribution target organization to be explicitly assigned in Windchill PDMLink.

If some of the business object attributes are controlled at the master level and some at the organization level, you must set this flag to true.

true, false

Default: true

ECNEnabled

Change Notice Management Flag

This flag determines the processing of CN information published from Windchill PDMLink. The flag has acceptable values of true or false. If the flag is set to true, Windchill PDMLink data responses may contain CN information, and if available, that CN information will be processed by the Windchill ESI business logic.

If the flag is set to falseWindchill PDMLink data responses may contain CN information; however, that CN information will not be processed by the Windchill ESI business logic.

If the Oracle Applications distribution target system does not support ECOs, the flag should be set to false.

true, false
