XML Schemas
This section provides details on the followingWindchill ESI XML schemas:
Common Business Object (CBO)
ESILog
ESIError
ESIResultService
ESIJMSCustomProperties
In the following sections, illustrations of the schemas include occurrence indicators (displayed in circles) to specify how many times an element may appear at a given location. Refer to the following table for the indicators and their descriptions when reviewing the XML schemas.
Occurrence Indicator
Description
None
The element must appear once and only once. Neither optional nor repeatable.
?
The element (or group of elements) may appear zero or one time. The element is optional, but is only allowed to appear once. Optional but not repeatable.
+
The element (or group of elements) must appear one or more times. The element is required to appear at least once, but multiple consecutive occurrences may be present. Repeatable but not optional.
*
The element (or group of elements) may appear zero or more times. The element can appear as many times consecutively as needed. Repeatable and optional.
Common Business Object (CBO)
The following describes the different parts of the CBO schema which, as mentioned earlier, is the data model adopted by the Windchill ESI business logic to represent the data for each object published from Windchill PDMLink.
Common Business Object Schema: Top Level
The following describes the elements contained in the CBO schema:
Element
Description
ControlData
Always provided. Contains the overall transaction data.
Part
Optional. The repeatable structure for part data.
Document
Optional. The repeatable structure for document data.
DocumentReference
Optional. Document Link structures. DocumentLinks are at the top-level of the CBO because the CBO is intended to be neutral and not specific to a particular distribution target, and there is no consistency in which object, such as part or document, owns the link from one distribution target to another.
BOM
Optional. The repeatable structure for BOM data.
ECN
Optional. The repeatable structure for ECN data.
Resource
The repeatable structure for Resource data.
Routing
The repeatable structure for process plan references data.
CBOUserArea
Optional. Stores all user-defined data used for customization.
Common Business Object Schema: Object Header
The following describes the elements contained in the Object Header schema:
Element
Description
Class
The object class value for the object being published. For example,
com.ptc.windchill.esi.Part
LastModifiedBy
Optional. Unique identifier of the last user to modify the object.
ActionFlag
The action to be performed on the object such as create, change, update, delete or unchange.
Destination
Destination contains TargetNumber and Plant from TargetId.
The TargetID of each element in ESIResponse contains values in the format of <<TargetNumber>>:<<Plant>>
For a distribution target with no plant the value of TargetID would be <<TargetNumber>>:
Where:
TargetID represents a distribution target in Windchill and Plant represents a plant in the SAP system.
Control Data Schema
The following describes the elements contained in the Control Data schema:
Element
Description
ObjectID
A Windchill unique federation identifier for the object that is ready to be published.
TransactionNumber
The unique identifier for each transaction published from Windchill PDMLink.
Locale
Locale for the data published from Windchill PDMLink. The locale describes the language in which the data is in as well as the formatting for values within that language. For instance, English in the USA (EN-US) and English in England are in different locales since some of the formatting for dates and measures are different in each locale.
UserID
Unique identifier for the Windchill PDMLink user who published the data.
ESITarget
Identifies the target system ESITarget/System is mapped with, with child element destinations coming from the Release/Transaction element of ESIResponse.
For SAP the destination format is <SAPSystem ID>.<SAP Client>. For example, PR1.800.
The value of ESITarget/ERP is SAP.
ESITarget/AdapterInstanceID is the subject name pattern used for customization. For more information on the AdapterInstanceID refer to the section “How to configure a single Process archive for multiple instances” in the Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP.
