Update a PMM BVR from the command line

Using the Teamcenter command line utility, you can update a Manufacturing Process Planner BOM view revision (BVR) with Product Master Management (PMM) data.

Procedure

  1. Set the preference PortalDesignContextSearchEnginePreference value to CachelessSearchEngineFactory.

  2. For each partition or subassembly, open a Teamcenter command prompt and run the utility.

pmm_updps -u=<username> -p=<password> -g=<group> -item_id=<Top-nodes-ItemID>

Results

A solve query is sent to PMM, PMM performs a partial solve, and a BVR is generated for selected nodes. Information related to part, LOU, and solution is fetched. Associated designs are searched for in Teamcenter. If found, they are associated with the selected nodes.
