Create a new publishing alias dataset

To create a new publishing alias from an existing alias file, do the following in My Teamcenter:

Procedure

1. Use the Search button to find the Installed Alias dataset.

2. Export the TcPublishSystemAlias.xml file to your local disk using the Named References dialog box.

3. Rename the local XML file to something meaningful, such as AliasTutorial.xml.

4. Choose File→New→Dataset.Teamcenter displays the New Dataset dialog box.

5. In the list of dataset types, select TCPublishingAliases, and then type a name and description for the new dataset.

6. Click the Import button, browse to the renamed alias file and click OK. Teamcenter creates the new publishing alias.

7. Load the XML file into a text editor and read the notes at the top of the file.

Note

Each time you create an alias dataset, you must load the alias file.

You can optionally include packing of tables in the alias definition. If you choose to pack tables, lines that are identical except for quantity are collapsed into a single line. Two aliases with collapsed tables are provided as templates, CollapsedProductPartList and OperationConsumedParts.
