Viewing remote components

If you import assembly items to a remote site from the master Multi-Site Collaboration site, the component items of the assembly are not imported, only the BOM view revision. Consequently, when you load the BVR in Structure Manager, the components are not loaded because they are not available locally. You can, however, view these items as assembly replicas containing remote components. Replicas and out-of-date replicas may be identified by site defined colors, for example, red for out-of-date replicas. The remote components are displayed as stub references in the structure lines of such unavailable remote components that are not available at the local site. If the owning user excludes certain objects from the replica of a remotely owned item, Teamcenter creates an augmented stub at the replica site. If you are authorized to view these stubbed objects, the augmented stub is visible with the ID, name, type, and description attributes shown. When you open an assembly containing remote components, Structure Manager loads the assembly with the available components and shows the stub references for the structure lines of the remote components. If any of the remote components are not yet replicated locally, Structure Manager may prompt if you want to import these components or imports them without user intervention, depending on the setting of the PSE_prompt_for_remote_import preference.

Note These lines may represent remote part family members or other remote components. All remote components are displayed in the same manner.
