EXALEAD CloudView Connector for Windchill

A solution by: T-SYSTEMS
Application domain: Infrastructure
Solution Overview
Search based application cannot exist without indexing data which are stored in many different formats and different systems by the companies. Therefore, more an index is able to access diverse sources, wider the list of interested customers will be.
The PDM system is one of the Information System widely used by customers.
The main customer requirements in PDM context is provisioning of:
- Product structure, part and related geometry data
- Lifecycle states, Change management objects (e.g. ECR, ECO)
- Related non-product information (e.g. project, team, user, etc.)
- Security concept
Having this connector for CloudView server will reveal the information through Search Based Application such as OnePart, to be used mainly in mechanical industry (Automotive, Aerospace and Defence, Ship) for any person in the company needing to search and aggregate information cross systems.
The Application Program is a Connector for the search engine platform EXALEAD CloudView and OnePart.
It is used as a batch application as well as an interactive application.
Connected to the PDM system, the Application Program synchronizes a pre-defined scope of the PLM System’s data with the platform CloudView, so as to enable indexing and search capabilities for the data with EXALEAD CloudView.
Benefits
EXALEAD CloudView combines web-scale semantic technologies, rapid drag-and-drop application development and hybrid quantitative/qualitative analytics to deliver a consumer-style information experience to mission-critical business processes.
With EXALEAD CloudView Enterprise IT organizations now meet demands for real-time, in-context, accurately-delivered information, accessed from diverse web and enterprise big data sources, yet delivered faster and with less cost than with traditional application architectures.

Integrating ENOVIA and SAP is not an easy task, in particular if there is data that may be changed on both systems and must be synchronized between them. While The ENOVIA Event Bus, together with the xPDM adapters, provides the technical solution to do this, the different data models and process paradigms present a challenge of their own. Knowledge of both sides of the gap and experience in transforming the data from far over 50 customer projects give T-Systems a unique position to satisfy customer needs. Functions The ENOVIA "Send to xPDM", used either from the VPM product structure or an engineering BOM, sends the data to SAP to create or update the corresponding items. Optionally, it provides an interactive SAP function for the reverse transfer. BOMs are transferred as single- or multi-level, depending on your company’s preferred settings. Event-triggered operation is possible as a project-implemented feature. Characteristics The ENOVIA-side business logic is provided by the ENOVIA components involved and can be customized to the level they allow. The SAP-side business logic is provided by the SAP adapter that is the main component of the integration. It can be customized to a high degree, including scripted attribute mapping. The SAP adapter, core component of the integration, runs as an independent web application. To use the standard functionality, no installation in either ENOVIA or SAP is necessary. All transfers are done via a system of gateways and adapters that provide message and file exchange via web services. Data transfer and synchronization are asynchronous.Note: As of V6R2014, ENOVIA does not offer to transfer change objects (ECR/ECO). This function can be provided on a project basis.
