TIBCO EAI

=======================================

Windchill/ESI workflows that would reach certain tasks & send BOM/wtpart to SAP through the ESI adpator.

"ESI send" workflow.

---------------------------------------


I'm convinced that xBOMs effectivity management through Change Management is the only relieable way 
to corectly manage Product informations (and mainly xBOMS) accros company (and IT systems PLM->ERP)

=======================================

created wtpart soft type with soft attributes like serial number, effectivity & other attributes

created webject task that was used in a workflow robot expression code to pass wtpart, BOM data to SAP.

Mainly through change mnagement.

Its critical to have auto numbering scheme & rules set to match Windchill & SAP.

Set in OIR's for windchill.

We treied the SOAP & JMS route was hard to trouble shoot, even though I was open to that route, because
I have done Apache2 Axis & windchill web services of that type before.

Also used route to trigger or listener (through services) & change management state change to send data to SAP.

---------------------------------------

I think the latest for windchill 10.1 is windchill esi.
