Overview of the bomindex_admin utility

The bomindex_admin utility creates the BOMIndexAdminData to define a specific product configuration to be indexed. This utility is also used to mark a specified product configuration (/BOMIndexAdminData/BIAD) for deletion. A product configuration has many parameters, and they are passed to the utility in a text file specified by the -inputfile parameter. The input file is described in the bomindex_admin utility description. You can specify up to 110 effectivities. The effectivity numbers must be comma separated. Also, you must repeat the effectivity end item query string for each effectivity unit, for example: Copy | 5,10,12 | item_id=HDD-0527,item_id=HDD-0527,item_id=HDD-0527 | When performing the same function (action) on multiple product configurations, each product configuration can be specified on separate lines in the input file. Add these one at a time to help manage errors that may occur during the creation process.

Note Only Working () and Override Folder () revisions rules are supported. Any rules apart from these, for example, Working (Owning User = Current) or Override Folder (Newstuff), are not supported. Additionally, Any revision status is not supported, either in the revision rule or in a custom revision rule entry for the input file. Find information on creating revision rules in the Teamcenter online help.
