Upload binary or software package files to Teamcenter from remote systems

You can upload binary or software packages from remote systems such as Polarion to Teamcenter. For the upload to work, the following conditions must be met:

• A remote link must exist between Teamcenter and the object in the remote system (such as Polarion).
• The remote link must be linked to an artifact that has access to software builds or contains attachments.
• Teamcenter and the remote system must be enabled with Teamcenter Security Services.

Procedure

1. Select a part in Teamcenter. Ensure that the Teamcenter part links to an artifact in Polarion that has a software build feature such as a Software Release.
2. In the Attachments tab, under the Files section, click Upload Remote Files.
3. In the Upload Remote Files dialog box, select a remote link. Ensure that you select the remote link whose remote resource has a build feature. Once you select the remote link, the Dataset Types appear.
4. Select the dataset type from the list.
5. Type in the dataset name and description. The dataset type filters out only compatible file extensions associated with the dataset type (for example, a zip dataset only gives you a .zip or .7z). These associations are managed in Business Modeler IDE.
6. Click Upload. Log on to Polarion if prompted.
7. From the Upload Remote Files dialog box, you can upload files or files in folders. When you select a folder, the files in that folder appear in a list on the right side.
8. Select the files you want to upload and click Upload.

The uploaded files appear in the Files section. By default, only one file is displayed; view all files in the rich client.

In case of large files or latency, expect a lag between the start and end of the file upload. At the end of the upload process, the user who started the upload receives an alert under the category LDF.
