GEMS WINDCHILL DEMO

NOTES:

We can still demo tomorrow, where we can at least show WINDCHILL code working.
Maybe simulate GEMS code. But we can look good, because we did work, even
though BOB,was not able to send us his requirements for demo, so we assumed
what he would want to see, which would mainly be:

1) WINDCHILL code/apps export attributes to file, through actions GEMS EXPORT
menu drop-down.

2) File is written to preset folder location, where GEMS apps will trasfer (ftp,
web services, ???). File transfer can be with AT command (every 5 minutes or ??).
gems or windchill can do the transfer. If windchill, listener or workflow can
force transfer of exported bom file.

3) BOM attributes will opened into GEMS BOM interface & be edited/updated..

4) GEMS transports (ftp, web services, ???) edited BOM file back to WINDCHILL
preset folder. This can be GEMS or WINDCHILL apps for automated transfer. 

5) User can initiate WINDCHILL objects update (through WINDCHILL actions GEMS
IMPORT menu drop-down. Or it can be with AT command (every 5/?? minutes),
listener or workflow.

Additional NOTES:

1)  1 1/2 days notice did not allow for gems demo development, but we did get
WINDCHILL code generated to show export of bom, manual edit & import. Where
GEMS attributes will update automatically on import.

Gems editing of WINDCHILL compliance attributes will be manual, with not enough
notice for GEMS dev.

2) Could not use existing WINDCHILL client proprietary code or install, so we
created a demo install & recreated code for demo.
