Import manufacturing features using the me_import_mfgs utility
For very large imports or updates, use the manufacturing feature batch import utility to import manufacturing features from a command line. To access help on this process, run the following command:
Copy
me_import_mfgs -h
Example
Copy
me_import_mfgs -u=myUserName -p=myPassword -g=myGroup -rootid=myStructureTopLine -rootrev=A -revrule="Latest Working" -input_file="D:\temp\feature_updates.xml"
Use the argument -mode=keepExistingFeatures or -mode=refreshWholeContainer to run incremental updates or complete updates. Complete updates delete any features below the rootid. The default value is keepExistingFeatures.
After the command has completed, the utility reports any issues at the prompt and creates a log file where you can look up details. If the structure is open in Teamcenter, you must refresh or reload it to see the effects of the import.
