Managing time > Managing activity times using the TiCon integration

Using the TiCon integration

You can access time data from TiCon, an external time management system, using a web service and assign the data to activities. You can search for time elements in TiCon, create new operations containing time activities, or overwrite existing activities with the timing data of time elements, and update activities assigned to time elements that were changed in TiCon. You can use the existing time management features to calculate time analysis based on the TiCon data.

Teamcenter automatically creates a new operation for each TiCon time activity that you add to a process structure. It calculates the allocated time of the process based on the PERT flows of the process. If you update the PERT flows using the Resequence Structure command, the allocated time contains the sum of all the activity times contained in the child operations. If you do not update the PERT flows, the allocated time on the process represents the maximum time of all the child operations.

You can to map your company’s activity properties to the TiCon time element attributes.

Note

The speed in which data is returned from the TiCon server is dependent on your network connection to that server.
