About using Multi-Site Collaboration in manufacturing

You can use Multi-Site Collaboration to share structures with other sites. If you use it to share collaboration context objects, take the following into consideration:

• Export all revision rules at the original site using plmxml_export –xml_file=file_name –class=revisionrule and use plmxml_import –xml_file=file_name at the importing site before using Multi-Site Collaboration with collaboration or structure context objects.

• Export individual structures prior to exporting a collaboration or structure context in order to get the proper revisions of the objects in the structures.

• The configuration context does not affect which revisions are exported if you export a BOM with a collaboration or structure context.

• To be able to consume exported objects at the remote site when you do not have write access to the product item, create a new item at the remote site that acts as the local product root, and copy the product under it.
