We have a customer currently storing all the product documents in Team Center and they wanted to use IFS for their manufacturing processes. They have clearly stated that they are not interested in duplicating product documents in IFS ( since they already have a good system going!) but they wanted to access the documents (in Team Center) from IFS. One idea was adding URLs to access the Team Center documents from respective form of IFS. But they sometimes wanted to send out attached document files through mails, share with others etc. So URLs are not going to work. 

I would like to hear your experiences of any integrations of this kind, we should be able to access the file stored in Team Center, consider the access restrictions, share the files etc ( basically DocMan functionalities, with the file being stored in Team Center)

 

 

Hi machan 🙂

That's not a simple one. What we are talking about is more or less making Team Center a new repository type. That means a customization in our Java layer, regardless version and platform. Not for the faint-hearted... Finding good libraries or APIs plus handling authentication well will be the challenges, apart from, yeah, modifying the Java middle tier, finding someone who can do that, etc.

Possibly a "Send mail" macro can do it, in some way, at least for single documents.
