Step 1: set up site-specific properties

Procedure

1. Ensure that the MRMSiteDataEnabled preference is set to true.

This displays the Create/update site specific data for resources button in the Resource Manager on Rich Client application.

2. In Resource Manager on Rich Client, open a resource from the tooling library and click Create/update site specific data for resources.

The first time you click the Create/update resource site data button, Teamcenter creates the following new classes under the SAM node in the hierarchy along with four new attributes.

Class name

ID

With these attributes

Resource Site Specific Data

MRM_SITE_DATA

-46003 Resource Location -46004 Resource Status -46005 Resource Vendor -46006 Resource Machine

Status

MRM_SITE_DATA_01

Inherits: -46003 Resource Location -46004 Resource Status

Vendor

MRM_SITE_DATA_02

Inherits: -46003 Resource Location -46005 Resource Vendor

Machine

MRM_SITE_DATA_03

Inherits: -46006 Resource Machine

3. Add the class IDs for which you want to create the site-specific properties to the MRMSiteData preference.

This preference defines the classes used to store the site-specific data for resources. For each class listed in this preference, a tab is displayed in the Resource Site Data dialog. For example, if the value of this preference is: MRM_SITE_DATA_01 (class name: Status) MRM_SITE_DATA_02 (class name: Vendor) The dialog box in Resource Manager on Rich Client displays two tabs called Status and Vendor.

The class name and attributes define the title of the tab and the attributes that are displayed in the tab. You can extend the MRM_SITE_DATA class structure to include any class that suits your needs. The attributes contained in the classes listed in this preference are the attributes that are displayed when you create new site-specific properties. For example, the Status class contains two attributes, and these are displayed when you create new site-specific data on the Status tab.
