Managing intermediate data captures

Capture structures in an IDC

Procedure

Select the root object in the structure and choose Tools→Intermediate Data Capture. You can capture BOM lines, an occurrence group, a structure context with multiple roots, or a collaboration context containing multiple structures.Teamcenter displays the New Intermediate Data Capture dialog box.
Select the type of IDC you want to create in the list on the left.
Type the name and optional description of the intermediate data capture, and select the appropriate transfer mode name from the list.
To open the IDC in Part Planner, select Open on Create. If you do not select this option, you can find the IDC in the Newstuff folder in My Teamcenter.
Click OK or Apply.Teamcenter validates the objects you selected. If any of the objects cannot be captured, Teamcenter displays an error message, otherwise it creates the PLM XML file containing the IDC and displays it in a structure view.
(Optional) Open the IDC in the Viewer view in My Teamcenter or in the Object View tab in Multi-Structure Manager to see a list of the captured states, including their descriptions and creation dates.
(Optional) If you make changes to the originally captured structure, create a new captured state in My Teamcenter or Multi-Structure Manager by clicking Add State.
