Here, all configurations concerning the interface are performed.

CADENAS%\iface\plm\ifdscsapplm

Here, the template xml files are stored needed for communication with ECTR, furthermore the placement macro, which the NX interface requires in order to enable placement via SAP placement dialog.

The keys of the cfg file are provided with explaining comments.

In the XML templates, at the beginning of a file descriptions of available controlling key words (which are used for the controlling of the creation procedure for XML files) are found.

Within the XML files placeholders enclosed in $ characters can be used, which then are replaced by the interface, by the value of a key deposited in the respective AttributeMapping section belonging to the XML file.

Example:

XML: …. NUMBER="$CI_NUMBER$"…
cfg:
…
[XML_CHECKIN]
$CI_NUMBER$ = 1234

$CI_NUMBER$ is replaced by 1234 (…. NUMBER="1234"…) – of course you can also use code, which then calculates the correct value.

The XML templates can be adjusted in any way by adding or removing new tags (provided that the new structure can be defined by the available controlling key words).
