Configure the property mapper for data exchange between Teamcenter and Aurora

When data is transferred between Teamcenter and Aurora, certain property values are always transferred by default — for example, WBS number and element name values are exported from Teamcenter to Aurora. Likewise, when importing data from Aurora to Teamcenter, start date, end date, and duration values are always transferred. If you want to transfer the value of other properties, you can configure the solution to transfer those properties.

Examples of configuring the property mapper for data exchange follow:

• Only work package property values can be transferred from Teamcenter to Aurora, and the solution updates the task or activity property in Aurora. To configure this, update the WBSElemRev.ExportPropertyToExternalSchedule preference, which contains a map of properties in Teamcenter and the corresponding property in Aurora. Each entry specifies a property in Teamcenter that should update the value of a property in Aurora. For example:

  wbs0PlanObject: originatingModel
  

  In this example, wbs0PlanObject is a property of the Work Element Revision whose value is to be mapped to the originatingModel property in Aurora.

• Configure additional property values to transfer from Aurora to Teamcenter by updating the PropertyMapper.cfg configuration file in the TC-Aurora-Connector package. This file contains the properties that are mapped to Teamcenter, and its path is specified in the config.cfg file in the package.

• Only activity and task property values in Aurora can be transferred to Teamcenter, and these properties can only be mapped to ipp0ExternalTaskInfo properties. This example shows a property mapping in the PropertyMapper.cfg file:

  object_desc = description
  

  In this example, description is the property of the task in Aurora and its value is mapped to the object_desc property of the Task Info object in Teamcenter.
