Map the artifacts between Teamcenter and the authoring tool using Integration Mapping Editor

You can do the following with Integration Mapping Editor:

• Open Integration Mapping Editor and select the integration definition file.
• Create mapping between the authoring tool object types and the Teamcenter object types.
• Create the mapping of classification artifacts.
• Create mapping between properties of the authoring tool types and the Teamcenter object types.
• Create mapping between relations in the authoring tool and Teamcenter.
• Create mapping between properties of the relations in the authoring tool and Teamcenter.
• Publish your changes.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the integration that you want to configure using Integration Mapping Editor has a corresponding integration definition file in Teamcenter. If not, you will not see an entry for the integration in Integration Mapping Editor.

Procedure

Open the Integration Mapping Editor and select the integration definition file:

1. In Active Workspace, switch to the Active Admin workspace.
2. From Launcher, click INTEGRATION MAPPING EDITOR. If this option is unavailable, search for it. You can pin it from the search results for future access.
3. From the Tool list, select the integration definition file.

Object Type Mapping — Create mapping between authoring tool object types and Teamcenter object types

1. In Integration Mapping Editor, select Object Mapping and click Add.
2. In the Add Object Mapping panel specify:

Field	Description
Tool Type	Type the object type from the authoring tool.
Inherited From	(Optional) If you want the object mapping to inherit properties from a parent, select a parent from the list.
Target Type	Choose the Teamcenter object type.

Extended Type Mapping — Create mapping of classification artifacts

1. Select an object type from the Tool Type column and from the Type Mapping section, click Add.

2. In the Add Type Mapping panel, from the Target Type section, click Add.

3. In the Add Type Mapping panel, from the Classification tree, select a classification type node.

4. From the Classify Item/Item Revision list, choose if you want to classify the item or item revision for the object that you selected in the previous step.

5. If you want to classify the object only when certain conditions based on property and value pairs are true, select the Condition check box. Specify the property and property value in the Conditional Tool Property and Conditional Value boxes, respectively.

   Example: In this example, the tool type EDABOMComp maps to Relays only when the tool property is Partition and its value is top/HEATSINK.

Type Property Mapping — Create mapping between properties of the authoring tool and Teamcenter

1. From the Type Mapping section, choose the object.
2. In the Type Property Mapping section, click Add.
3. In the Add Property Mapping panel, add the following information:

Field	Description
Tool Property	This is the property in the authoring tool.
Target Type	This is the object type in Teamcenter.
Target Property	This is the Teamcenter property that you want to map with the property in the authoring tool.
Editable In	Specifies where data can be edited: Both (edited in both the authoring tool and Teamcenter), Teamcenter (only in Teamcenter), or Authoring Tool (only in the authoring tool).

Relations Mapping — Create mapping between relations in the authoring tool and relations in Teamcenter

1. Select an object type from the Tool Type column and click the Relations Mapping tab.

2. From the Relations Mapping section, click Add.

3. In the Add Relation Mapping panel, select the type of relation you want to use from the Target Relation Type list. The following relation types are available:

   • Composition

   • Relation — this is for mapping GRM relations.
   • Reference — this is used for reference type property mapping.
   • Related Reference
   • Full Text — this is for requirements from Polarion.

   Depending on the relation type you choose, specify additional information.

Relations Type Property Mapping — Create mapping between properties of the relation in the authoring tool and Teamcenter relation

1. Select an object from the Tool Type column and click the Relations Mapping tab.
