Seamless Data Synchronization Between Windchill and CMAP
Fishbowl Solutions’ PTC Windchill Connector for Compliance Map software is designed to automate and simplify the transfer of data between Windchill and Compliance Map (CMAP), ensuring that part attributes, bills of materials (BOMs), and Approved Manufacturer List (AML) data are always up-to-date across both systems.
Key Features
Bi-Directional Data Updates: Automatically sync part attributes between Windchill and CMAP, whether it’s daily or on a customizable schedule.
Easy Setup: Install and configure the connector quickly within your existing Windchill environment
Customizable Settings: Control which part types, manufacturers, vendors, and contexts are included in the data exchange.
Automated Error Handling: If any issues arise during data transfers, the system logs and retries them, ensuring reliability.
XML-Based Data Export & Import: Export and import files in XML format for easy review and troubleshooting.
How it Works
The CMAP Connector streamlines data synchronization between Windchill and CMAP with automated processes and minimal manual intervention. It simplifies the process of keeping product data synchronized between systems, improving accuracy and efficiency.
Initial Setup
When you first set up the connector, a complete data export is performed from Windchill, which can then be imported into CMAP to ensure both systems are in sync right from the start. This export includes crucial part attributes, bills of materials (BOMs), and Approved Manufacturer List (AML) data.
Scheduled Tasks
The connector is designed to automate daily synchronization between Windchill and CMAP. It checks for any changes made to parts, BOMs, or AML data in Windchill from the previous day, and updates CMAP accordingly. You can set specific times for these updates (e.g., daily at 2 AM) or configure more frequent synchronization (such as every 15 minutes), depending on your needs.
Command-Line Flexibility
For users who prefer more direct control, the connector allows for command-line executions, making it easy to manually export or import data if needed. This feature is particularly useful for debugging or retrying failed jobs without interrupting regular scheduled tasks.
