Cloud access to the Generic Tool Catalog in Resource Manager

When working in Resource Manager, if you do not find a suitable tool component in the database, you can search for it in external vendor catalogs in a cloud. Teamcenter has a seamless integration of search capabilities with the ToolsUnited database from CIMSOURCE GmbH containing over 500,000 components from a variety of tool vendors that you can import into the vendor hierarchy. The ToolsUnited web page is displayed as a view within Resource Manager. You can enter search criteria in the Classification Search Dialog, then choose to pass this search query along to ToolsUnited. When you find the desired component in the ToolsUnited database, you can then import it back into Teamcenter, map the component to your customer hierarchy, and use this component to build tool assemblies to work in NX.
