What is Embedded Software Management?

The Embedded Software Management functionality allows you to represent embedded software artifacts using Active Workspace. You can do the following:

Represent software architecture

A software architecture is similar to a logical model. It represents the system definition of the embedded software.

Represent embedded software components

You can create embedded software components that represent the actual software deliverables or work such as software release, processor, and calibration. The structure can be configured to include any object types.

Link software components to external tools such as Polarion

In most cases, software tasks are tracked in ALM tools such as Polarion. You can link the Embedded Software components in Teamcenter to the corresponding artifacts in Polarion. This creates traceability across applications that allows you to track dependencies between the different components.

The links are created using Linked Data Framework. To create links, ensure that your administrator has set up Linked Data Framework.

Link embedded software components with other components in Teamcenter by using trace links, to create traceability across different Teamcenter components.

Capture the software deliverables such as code executables and CFG files from external tools such as Polarion and associate them with Teamcenter components. This functionality also uses Linked Data Framework, which your administrator must set up.
