Enable PLMXMLBasedSync, plmxmltojt, plmxml_import_export, and ReplicatePLMXML translators

PLMXMLBasedSync service The PLMXMLBasedSync dispatcher task parses the PLMXML file of a configured assembly, identifies item revisions that need sync or import and performs the import as per the controlled replication mechanism. Prerequisites: Teamcenter and the Classic-Multisite feature must be installed to use this translator. plmxmltojt translator Translates PLMXML files (.plmxml) to JT (.jt). Prerequisites: Teamcenter Lifecycle Visualization must be installed. plmxml_import_export translator Imports and exports objects into Teamcenter asynchronously through the rich client. Currently, it supports only exporting objects. The translator uses the plmxml_export utility in the background to transfer objects. During export, the system replaces the reserved key characters such as space, comma, semicolon, tab, and equal in the target file name with the underscore (_) character. ReplicatePLMXML service Executes data_share -f=remote_import for a given items list. Prerequisites: Teamcenter Engineering and Classic-Multisite feature must be installed. Enable the translators You can use TEM or Deployment Center to install the translator or manually edit the translator.xml file to enable the translator. The following is an example of how to edit the translator.xml file to enable the translator. Procedure Open the translator.xml file from the Dispatcher_Root\Module\conf directory. Set the isactive attribute to true to activate this translator. Note By default, this attribute is set to false. Open the translator.bat (Windows) or translator.sh (Linux) file from the Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\translator_name directory and edit the CHANGE_ME tags. For more information about CHANGE_ME tags, see the .bat file for the translator. Run the translator in standalone mode from the command prompt to verify whether it is working properly. For more information about running the translator in standalone mode, from a command prompt, change to the Dispatcher\Translators\translator_name directory and run the appropriate command for your platform: Note For more information, see the Readme file in the Translators\translator_name directory. Windows: translator_name.bat -help Linux: translator_name.sh -help (Optional) To set up Dispatcher-client-proxy-user as the owner of the translated files, make the following change to the translator_name.bat (Windows) or translator_name.sh (Linux) file. NxTransDirect translator example: Copy "%UGII_BASE_DIR%\ugmanager\run_nxtrans.bat" -u=Dispatcher-client-proxy-user -p=password -changeOwnerToCad=false "-pim=yes" %* If you set up Dispatcher-client-proxy-user as the owner of the translated files, you must create a dispatcher client access rule. After installation, you must add a rule to the access rule tree permitting the translation service proxy user to update the attributes of a DispatcherRequest object. If this access rule is not created correctly, the dispatcher client reports errors.
