Goals for Fico

• One Data Management environment
• Windchill platform
• Supporting remote sites(Asia)
• Sending data to Matrix(PLM)
• Working with Intralink 9.1 should be the same as
  with Intralink 3.4

11
One Data Management environment

• Migrating two Intralink 3.4 databases to 9.1
• Molding and Trim Form
• Challenges
• More then 500 GB of Pro/ENGINEER data
• More then 10.000 mapping and reordering of
  subfolders
• Different Revision schemes(1,2,..,A,B,..)
• More then 6000 duplicates

12
Managing Duplicates

• What is a duplicate ?
• Same Object exists in both databases
• Mostly Library components (bolts,nuts,etc)
• How are duplicates handled ?
• Mass rename (quick solution)
• PTCs Duplicate Object Manager

13
How did Fico handle duplicates?
14
PTCs Duplicate Object Manager

• Tool to merge duplicates(Equal or Unequal)
• DOM equality criteria
• Revisions and Criteria are the same
• Dependencies are the same
• Family Tables
• DOM unequality criteria
• If equality criteria is not met (ex. Extra
  Instance of a family table, more versions
  (A.2,B.1, etc)

15
PTCs Duplicate Object Manager Example
16
Customizing Workflows

• What is a Promotion Request workflow ?
• Why do we need more functionality ?
• Export Released data to xml format for Matrix
  Tool
• What does the Matrix Tool do ?
• Customized Promotion Request
• Adding extra steps
• Written in Java (Windchill J2EE complaint)

17
Working with Asia

• Fico Tooling is moved here
• Performance issues over a WAN
• Replication solution
• Standard Windchill technology
• Remote File server
• Replicates Pro/E data to and back
• WAN optimizer (Riverbed)

18
Replication setup

• Based on rules
• Types(ex. Documents, Pro/ENGINEER files)
• Version (ex. Latest, all,etc)
• Scheduling replication
• How is the data produced on a replica send back ?

19
Performance results Replica

• 15 times faster with replication
• Big improvements with browsing in
  folders/workspaces

20
Results

• Succesful migration
• Single Intralink 9.1 environment
• All duplicated were merged
• Very good adoption by Fico (custom training)
• Customizations implemented
• Behaviour of Intralink 9.1 is very like the old
  Intralink 3.4
• Sending the right info at the right time to
  Matrix
• Optimal performance for Asia

21
Live Demo Workflow

• How is custom workflow implemented ?
