Importing and exporting structures and items > Using the Application Interface Viewer
Types of tracking requests
The Application Interface Viewer allows you to track three types of requests:
Synchronization request This is associated with a single data export transaction.
Publish request This is associated with a single data import transaction.
Notify request This informs the Teamcenter and external application users of the success or failure of the transaction.
The import or export of data may take significant time, depending on the size of the structure. Each request transitions through several states and you can monitor these states to determine the status of the request. The possible request states are:
| State | Request status |
|---|---|
| New | The request is created but not yet processed. |
| Processing | PLM XML data creation is in progress, or a PLM XML file import has begun. |
| Pending | Processing is complete and communication of the synchronization request is in progress, or the synchronization request is complete, but the Publish request is not processed. |
| Communicating | Teamcenter and the external application are exchanging data. |
| Completed | Processing of the transaction request is complete but not necessarily successful. |
| Rejected | The transaction request is rejected. Teamcenter maintains the history of requests, unless you explicitly delete them. |
