Share data with the external application

Procedure

1. Select one or more BOM lines.

2. Request that the associated data is sent to the external application by choosing Tools→Export objects→AppInterface.

3. Select the relevant application interface type from the list.Teamcenter:

Creates a new structure context containing an occurrence group for the selected BOM lines, and assigns the window configuration to the structure context.

Creates a new application interface object and attaches the structure context to it.

Attaches the import and export transfer modes associated with the external application to the application interface object.

Traverses the structure context according to its configuration and export transfer mode, then creates the necessary PLM XML data.

Creates a master record of all the objects it created and attaches them to the application interface object.

Creates a synchronization request and attaches the PLM XML file to this request.

Attaches the synchronization request to the application interface object.

4. The external application is launched and Teamcenter passes it the application interface object and user identifications. It then:

Logs on using the AI service.

Retrieves the PLM XML file and the corresponding datasets.

Sets the synchronization request state to Completed.

Logs off using the AI service. The application interface object, synchronization request, and corresponding data are deleted.

You can monitor the progress of these transactions with the Application Interface Viewer.
