Managing Distribution Targets
For Windchill ESI to publish Windchill objects to distribution targets, information about these destination systems must be made available to Windchill ESI. This is done by creating distribution target definitions known as Windchill ESI targets. Once the Windchill ESI targets are created, they can be associated to various Windchill objects. This association allows Windchill ESI to determine which distribution targets the Windchill PDMLink objects are being published to.
In addition to associating various Windchill PDMLink objects to a distribution target, you also need to define a strategy for how to assign distribution targets for all the other objects that are related to the object being published.
