Adding vendor catalogs

Import tool vendor product data

Vendor product data consists of tool components such as drills, holders, inserts, and adapters.

You can import vendor product data using two methods:

Import the data from the rich client using the Classification, Classification Admin, or Resource Manager applications.
Import the data using the import_step_part21_files utility.

Procedure

In the Classification Search Dialog, right-click a class at any level in the vendor hierarchy and choose Import Vendor Product Data.

The class you select determines what packages are imported. Teamcenter imports all product data from the selected class downwards.

In the Import Vendor Products dialog box, select the package that you want to import from the list of available Generic Tool Catalog packages.

Teamcenter imports the product data to the selected classes.

Click Import.
(Optional) Open the resulting log file to view the import state of individual components.

Caution Depending on the size of the package you select, this action can take several hours to complete.
