For more information about security settings and information pertaining to Windchill PDMLink, see the section Basic Administration.

Administering ERP Connector involves configuring and modifying ERP Connector preferences. These preferences are stored and maintained in the same way as other Windchill PDMLink preferences.

All properties that were listed in the files esi.properties.xconf and erpConnector.properties.xconf have now been replaced with Windchill preferences. These preferences can be found in the ESI category.

Authorized users can configure the way a response is generated by modifying one or more ERP Connector preferences. All ERP Connector preferences can be found in the Preference Management utility.

To open thePreference Management utility, use the following link:

Site > Utilities or Organization > Utilities.

• Preferences that are configurable. These include preferences that are used with the standard ERP Connector product without being modified. Tasks listed in the chapter Administration Tasks involve these preferences.

ERP Connector provides a number of customization points that allow the ERP Connector environment to be modified and extended to suite the varying list of different business needs. For more information, see the Info*Engine Administration.
