Partial-configured collaboration context briefcase export

Partial-configured briefcase export allows you to export portions of a collaboration context. For example, a manufacturing engineer may only want to export a specific scope of MBOM from a collaboration context to a supplier based on all occurrence types consumed in a plant BOP or study.

Note

The object that is consumed, its hierarchical parents and hierarchical children, is in the scope of export.

To export a partial-configured collaboration context briefcase, do the following:

Procedure

Select the collaboration context.
Choose Tools→Export→To Briefcase.

The Export Collaboration Context To Briefcase dialog box appears.

Identify the target remote site.
Set the option set to MfgConfiguredExportDefault.
Set the output directory.
Enter the briefcase file name (with .bcz extension).
Depending how the GMS_offline_use_TcGS preference was set by your system administrator, you will see one of the following dialog boxes.If your system is not set up to export a briefcase in background mode or it is set up to use Dispatcher, you will see the following dialog box.

Select the Export only Product that is assigned to process structure check box.

To run in sync mode (none background), simply click OK. Then click Yes in the Import Completed dialog box if you want to view the log file.

To run in async mode (using Dispatcher), click the Export in background check box and then click OK.

If your system is set up to use Teamcenter Integration Framework, you will see the following dialog box.

Select the Export only Product that is assigned to process structure check box.

Click any or all of the export progress options and then click OK.

Teamcenter imports the full structure that was exported. Note When the export finishes, green boxes will appear on ownership transferred objects.
