Architecture
•
•
•
•
3 Tier
Web based client
Operating systems: Windows, Unix, Linux
Supported Databases: Oracle, SQL Server,
DB2
»
•
•
•
•
•
No database replication
Supported Web Servers: Apache Tomcat,
WebSpere, WebLogic
Supports only Store* replication
Customizations – Java Based
In Enovia V6 terminology a ‘Store’ is
equivalent to a Vault in other PLM systems
Vault in Enovia V6 terminology is
equivalent to a database
Schema vs Business Objects
• Schema are the Administrative Objects that control the
look, feel, behavior of the system
» Types, Relationships, Commands, Tables, WebForms, …
• Business Objects are the actual data that is created in
Enovia.
» EC Part, Catia Drawing, Relationship between Part and Drawing
» Business Objects can have a “Type” which will drive the behavior
of the object
» Type, Name and Revision are the unique identifiers
Type and Policy
• Type
»
»
»
»
»
Fields (Attributes)
Card Design
Triggers
Sub Types (inheritance)
Maybe related to more than
one policy
• Policy
» Security
» Revision
» Lifecycle States
- Branching
» Store
» Triggers
Routes, States, Change Request,
Change Order, Change Action
• Routes can be based on a template or be ad-hoc
» Create your own flowchart
• States can be customized but usually based on out of
the box templates
• Change Request, Change Order, Change Action are
Types that represent the Engineering Change
» V6 has built in functionality and security around these
objects
States
• States can be configurable
» Not recommended to change out of
the box states
» Driven by the object’s Policy
• Objects will traverse through it
states
» Moving forward is called move
forward or backwards “Promoting”
» Moving backward is called
“Demoting”
• Security is set by state
• Triggers
» can be place on promote to demote
to make various check have
happened before a promote or
demote
Routes
•
•
•
•
Routes can be created Ad-hoc / Route Template
Routes can be used to define dynamic workflows
Route Tasks are actionable items in V6 – which can be
configured for escalations past due date
Routes are used to have multiple people review and ‘sign
off’ on the data with route completion as one of the
following
»
»
•
Route Tasks can be
»
»
»
•
Promote object to next state
Notify route owner
Parallel or Series
Mandatory or Optional
Review or Approval
Groups, Roles or Users can be associated to the task in
the route
Engineering Change
•
Change Request (CR)
»
•
Change Order (CO)
»
»
»
•
Ability for user to request a change to an
object in the system
Process that defines, evaluates, and
implements a change
Change order has a lifecycle for evaluation
and implementation phases
When a change order is created, a change
action is automatically generated and
connected to the change order.
Change Action (CA)
»
»
»
Change actions cannot be created manually
Change action (CA) generation occurs from
the change order's affected items.
Technical Assignee (i.e. Design Engineer) is
assigned to the Change Action to make the
change
Workspaces
• Way to group data in V6
• Can have sub workspaces
and sub folders
• Security can be applied to
any level in the Workspace
structure
• Mostly used with CAD
Integration / managing
documents
GCO
• GCO performs the same
operations but more
• Multiple GCO can exist and are
tied to a users role
• Derived file formats
• Check out and locking behaviors
• LCO object available to set user
specific integration behaviors
E-Bom Sync
• E-BOM Sync used to take
Document Structure to Item
Structure
• Items set as specification link
(can be model and or drawing)
• Configurable via the GCO and
JPO
» Collapse links / quantity
- 4 wheels on a car
»
Default Part Type
- EC or Dev Part
» Part Name / Number Driver
- CAD Model Name, auto number, …
» Floating Links
Security
• Security Context
» Organization, Collaborative
Space and Role
• State, Type, Group or Role
» Filter based i.e if an Attribute =
certain value
• Routes
• Workspace
» Folders
• Owner
User Interface Schema
• There are 6 main types of UI Schema:
Commands – User triggered action
Menus – Collection of Commands
Webforms – Shows attributes of an object
Tables – Similar to forms…i.e.
relationships
» Channels
» Portals – Multiple Channels make up a
portal
»
»
»
»
Triggers
• Please to add custom code
to the system
• 3 Types
» Check – Before the action
occurs
» Action – After the action
occurs
» Override – instead of the
action occurring
Administration
• Business Legacy tool
for administration
• Property Files
• JPOs
Migration Methods, Technologies &
Tools
•
Manual

•
Automated
»
»
»
•
JPOs, MQL and Tcl scripts - Requires comprehensive understanding of both source and target systems data model and
possible source system APIs
Strongly recommended to break it down to two steps (export\import), especially for large data sets (more than 10000 files
or so)
Uses V6 API – slower migration
ENOVIA V6 Adaplet - Partially Automated – several automated steps to extract and later import the data
into ENOVIA
»
»
•
Good for small data set – Lengthy process
No support for full history migration
Requires comprehensive understanding of both source and target systems data model and possible source system APIs
and SQL knowledge
Direct DB updates methodology – fast
Spinner - Partially Automated
»
»
»
»
Requires comprehensive understanding of both source and target systems data model and the Spinner tool itself
Data needs to be programmatically extracted into spinner
Additional fee
Uses V6 API – slower migration
Conclusion
• PLM Concepts are the same across various PLM
systems
• 3D Experience is a great platform to map your
business process to
