About the Application Interface Viewer

The Application Interface Viewer allows you to monitor and administer data exchanges between Teamcenter and an external application using the Application Interface (AI) service functionality.

For more information about the AI Service, see Services Reference on Support Center.

The data exchanges between Teamcenter and the external application are in PLM XML format, and the data may represent a project, product, process, or other data structure. The Application Interface Viewer is intended for use by administrators and other skilled users who have an understanding of the AI service functionality and PLM XML syntax.

The Application Interface Viewer allows you to do the following:

  • View an application interface object that manages the data in an import or export transaction.

  • Create a synchronization request and track its state and status. The synchronization request captures the data to export to the external application.

  • Create a publish request and track its state and status. The publish request captures the data to import into Teamcenter.
