Format of the attributeMap.xml File
The attributeMap.xml uses five different XML elements:
<AttrMap>—Opens and closes the attribute map. It contains the <dtsPdmMap> element.
<SWLinkPdmMap>—A context for one or more attributes of the defect-tracking system.
<DtsPdmMap>—Specifies an attribute name for the defect-tracking system and associates it with a Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software attribute name.
<PdmAttributeValues>—A context for one or more values for the defect-tracking system.
<DtsPdmValueMap>—Specifies an attribute value for the defect-tracking system and associates it with a Windchill Integrations for Embedded Software attribute value.
<IntegrityIssueType>—Specify “Defect” as the issue type value for Integrity Defects.
When editing the attributeMap.xml file, its contents must be structured as follows:
<AttrMap>
<SWLinkPdmMap>
<IntegrityIssueType.../>
<DTSPdmMap.../>
<DTSPdmMap.../>
<DTSPdmMap.../>
<PdmAttributeValues>
<DTSPdmValueMap.../>
<DTSPdmValueMap.../>
<DTSPdmValueMap.../>
</PdmAttributeValues>
<PdmAttributeValues>
<DTSPdmValueMap.../>
<DTSPdmValueMap.../>
<DTSPdmValueMap.../>
</PdmAttributeValues>
</SWLinkPdmMap>
</AttrMap>
