Validate the engineering BOM setup

After deploying engineering BOM (Usage BOM or Assembly BOM), and making the required customization and administration changes, you must validate if engineering BOM is set up correctly.

Procedure

1. In the Teamcenter command prompt, open the TC_ROOT\TR\tc_menu directory. Here, TC_ROOT is the folder where Teamcenter is installed.

2. Run the validate_ebom_configurations utility. For detailed information about the utility, see its help:

   validate_ebom_configurations -h
   

Example

To validate the engineering BOM setup for the assembly BOM mode for the Part and Design business objects, run the utility as follows:

validate_ebom_configurations -u=tc_admin_username -p=tc_admin_password -g=dba -conf=AsmBOM -partTypeName=Part -designTypeName=Design

To validate the engineering BOM setup for the usage BOM mode for the Ebm0PartProduct and Design business objects, run the utility as follows:

validate_ebom_configurations -u=tc_admin_username -p=tc_admin_password -g=dba -conf=UsageBOM -productTypeName=Ebm0PartProduct -designTypeName=Design

This utility generates a report in the log file location shown on the command prompt. The report lists the issues if the setup fails.

Each issue is listed as an ERROR. The action to be taken to rectify the issue is listed next to it.
