Example:

[PLMSynchronization]

[JOB]

Example:

IFace=PdmProxyFSOPdmIfaceC
#conversionPath=iface.inventor>partjava
OutputFormat=PARTJAVA 
ToFile=1
ToFileFail=1

[QUERY]

Example:

[QUERY]
documentnamelike0=*.ipt
documentnamelike1=*.iam

[CONVERSION]

Example:

[CONVERSION]
inputversion=iface.inventor

[IMPORT]

Example:

[IMPORT]
NameErpID=DOCUMENT_NAME
IFace=ci

ciCfg=E:\V1100SP0\setup\classimport.cfg
OverwriteMode=0

[Download]

Example:

[Download]
Directory=

Important The activation of the key "Directory" is mandatory. In the case of FSO (for declaration see ???) the value remains empty! Otherwise you can state the target directory for downloaded documents here.

If neutral formats shall be processed, please activate the following key. For native formats it has to be deactivated.

[PdmProxyFSOPdmIfaceC]
...
#HELP:default; Unless you want to convert non-cad files (e.g. stp), 
 keep this key commented out.
conversion_helper_class=pdmProxyConversionHelper_TranslatorLineC

Set the CAD identification of the used CAD system and the category name.

[CLASSIMPORT]
#:VALS_SE;"STLFILE"
#:HELP;default;CAD-Identification for the native parts
#:HELP;german;CAD-Kennung für die zu erzeugenden nativen Teile
NATIVETYPE=Inventor

#:VALS_S;nat,cat
#:HELP;default;Name of the category
#:HELP;german;Name des neuen Kategorie
CATEGORYNAME=cat

Set the internal (CLASSNAME) and external (CLASSDESC) catalog name. CLASSDESC is the displayed catalog name in PARTdataManager. Into this catalog the parts are imported.

CLASSNAME=plmstestcatalog5
CLASSDESC=plmstestcatalog5

For a first test run, deactivate the use of the link database.

#:VALS_N;0,1
#:HELP;default;0=don't use linkdatabase
#:HELP;german;sollen Stammdaten in die Linkdatenbank eingetragen werden. Wenn 0, 
 dann ohne Stammdaten arbeiten
USELINKDB=0

When activating the use of the link database please especially regard the setting under C:\ProgramData\cadenas\partsolutions\setup\classimport.cfg -> [MATNR_FIELDS]

Set interface name

Each PDM system has its own interface (PdmProxySWEnterprisePdmIfaceC, PdmProxyWindchillIfaceC, PdmProxyCreoTeamcenterIfaceC or PdmProxyNxTeamcenterIfaceC). When using the interface "PdmProxyFSOPdmIfaceC" the native parts are stored in a specified directory.

[job]
#IFace Description: Interface name or identifier. Interface names can be PDM system
 names which are then mapped to interface identifiers. Possible values are stored 
 under $CADENAS_SETUP\pdmProxies.cfg
#Value: Interface name or identifier. PdmProxySWEnterprisePdmIfaceC,
 PdmProxyWindchillIfaceC, PdmProxyFSOPdmIfaceC, PdmProxyCreoTeamcenterIfaceC,
 PdmProxyNxTeamcenterIfaceC
IFace=PdmProxyFSOPdmIfaceC

Determine the backup directory. Here, all process log files are stored, whereby you can analyse the process and possibly occurring errors.

[job]
BackupDirectory=C:\PLM_Synchro\workingdir\backup

Set output format

[job]
#TODO: Auch in Conversion möglich? Dann ggf. dahin verschieben...
#OutputFormat Description: Conversion option. Output format identifier.
 The documents will be converted to this format.
#Value: Format identifier. STL_REDUCED, PARTJAVA_REDUCED 
#OutputFormat=PARTJAVA_REDUCED
OutputFormat=PARTJAVA_REDUCED

Set input format

A range of filters is available.

For a first test run it makes sense to filter with the file extension (may be only for single parts).

[query]
...
documentnamelike0=*.ipt
documentnamelike1=*.iam
...
#documentnamelike0=*.sldprt
...
#DocumentNameEqual Description: Adds a condition to the query to exactly match
 specific document names.

Set exact CAD name

Thereby the CAD is identified, which is used for the conversion of files.

With V10, inputversion value is linked to block name in ifacecommon.cfg.

So for Inventor, it would have to be set up like this:

inputversion=iface.inventor

Specify document property, which shall be used for the ERP-ID. With the help of the ERP-ID each line is uniquely identified.

When setting the key NameErpID to "DOCUMENT_NAME" for example, the document name is inserted in the column "ERP_PDM_NUMBER".

[import]
#NameErpID Description: Import option. Name a document property of which to take the 
 value to set as the ERP-ID for each document. Document properties: CNSUID, 
 CADIDENT_IDNR, PDM_ID, DOCUMENT_NAME, DOCUMENT_PATH, RELEASE_STATE, PDM_TYPE, 
 PART_TYPE, DATE_CREATED, DATE_MODIFIED, DATE_RELEASED.
#Value: Document property: CNSUID, CADIDENT_IDNR, PDM_ID, DOCUMENT_NAME, DOCUMENT_PATH,
 RELEASE_STATE, PDM_TYPE, PART_TYPE, DATE_CREATED, DATE_MODIFIED, DATE_RELEASED.
NameErpID=DOCUMENT_NAME

Set key "OverwriteMode" to 0

Once no changes shall be applied anymore to the existing state, use the value 0.

[import]
OverwriteMode=0

Reference to cscripthost.exe (due to performance reasons the 64bit variant should be used)

cscripthost calls up the respective vbb file plm_synchro.vbb.

Reference to plm_synchro.vbb

Reference to plm_synchro.cfg

With the parameter "-cfg" the configuration file plm_synchro.cfg is determined.
