Key preferences for configuring briefcase exchange of collaboration context

The following are important preferences for configuring a successful briefcase exchange of a collaboration context:

• MEDefaultExportTransferOptionSet Specifies the list values to be made available in the Export to Briefcase dialog box transfer option set drop-down list. The values displayed are dependent on the values in the MEDefaultExportTransferOptionSet preference and the values of the transfer mode in the TC_gms_export_default_transfermode preference. If TC_gms_export_default_transfermode has a value of TIEExportDefaultTM, there are two cases:

Only the values that are specified in this preference and have a transfer mode value of TIEExportDefaultTM are displayed in the Export to Briefcase dialog box transfer option set drop-down list.

If none of the transfer option set names specified in this preference have a transfer mode value of TIEExportDefaultTM, all transfer option sets with a transfer mode value of TIEExportDefaultTM are displayed in the Export to Briefcase dialog box transfer option set drop-down list.

Default values for the transfer option set drop-down list are:

MfgConfiguredExportDefault — use this for briefcase configured export.

MfgUnconfiguredExportDefault — use this for briefcase unconfigured export.

Note The first value specified in this preference defaults to the selected transfer option set in the Export to Briefcase dialog box.

• MECCBriefcaseExportWithMultipleVariantRules Enables the briefcase export of a collaboration context containing a product structure with multiple variant rules. The default value is false.

• MERuleForBriefcaseExport Defines the rule to govern creation of an appearance path node (APN) for the BOM lines during briefcase export of a collaboration context. This helps the recipient of exported data perform certain operations, such as the consumption of product to bills of process (BOPs) where if a particular object does not have ownership, Teamcenter does not allow it to create an APN there. Therefore, in such cases, it can use the created APN during export using this preference. The default values for this preference are:

 

Type:Item; ClosureRule:; Lines:AllLines;

Type:Workarea; ClosureRule:; Lines:AllLines; 

Type:Mfg0MEPlantBOP; ClosureRule:; Lines:AllLines;

• MEAutomaticOwnershipTransferClosureRules Specifies the closure rule to be used in recursive ownership transfer of export to briefcase functionality for collaboration context objects. The default value is MfgDefaultOTCR.
