PTC Business Administrative Change Management Domain
The PTC Business Administrative Change Management (BACMgmt) domain provides access to the Business Administrative Change (BAC) management capabilities in Windchill. BAC management provides a way to move administrative changes made in a pre-production Windchill environment to a production set up. Changes to business objects can be imported to the pre-production environment, conflict resolution can be done in the pre-production environment and then these conflict resolutions are bundled with an imported BAC package. A revised package is made available for download in the pre-production environment, and exported to the production environment.
For more information on Business Administrative Change Management refer to the Windchill Help.
