Detailed Description

Mapping namespace for T4S vendor transfer.

The namespace contains the custom specific part of a T4S vendor transfer:

  • Procedure TC_Object2SAP_Vendor maps Teamcenter attributes to SAP attributes (so called mapping).
  • Procedure SAP_Vendor2TC_Object maps SAP attributes back to Teamcenter attributes (so called reverse mapping).
Note
SAP vendor transactions are using JCo. So JCo (Java Connector) has to be installed.
For the data exchange between Teamcenter and T4S the internal TCL dictionary ::TcData is used. It contains specific attributes of the Teamcenter object to be transferred and additional information about the current transaction. For the data exchange between T4S and SAP the internal TCL array ::SAPDat is used.
Teamcenter attributes can be read from ::TcData with function T4X::TC::MAPPING::FieldMapping.
Teamcenter attributes can be written to ::TcData with function T4X::TC::MAPPING::storeReverseMappingAttribute.
SAP attributes can be read from ::SAPDat using function T4S::TC::MAPPING::SAPFieldMapping.
SAP attributes can be written to ::SAPDat with set ::SAPDat(<key>) value.
Precondition
For the vendor transfer the following preferences are used:
  • T4S_VendorTypeList : list of allowed Teamcenter object types
  • T4S_VendorMapping4<ObjectType> : list of Teamcenter data types to read attributes from
  • T4S_VendorMapping2<ObjectType> : list of Teamcenter data types to write back during reverse mapping
  • T4S_VendorFieldMapping2<DataType> : list of Teamcenter attributes to write back during reverse mapping (optional)

◆ SAP_Vendor2TC_Object()

T4S::VENDOR::CUSTOM::MAPPING::SAP_Vendor2TC_Object   TransactionId Status ObjectKey args  

Customer specific reverse mapping function for the T4S vendor transfer.

The procedure maps the following SAP attributes back to Teamcenter attributes:
SAP Id and T4S transfer status -> object_desc

Parameters
TransactionIdUnique ID for the transfer transaction
StatusSAP transfer status. The following values are valid:
SKIPPED -> the transfer was skipped
ERROR -> the transfer was stopped by an error
UNKNOWN -> the transfer was stopped by an unknown error
UPDATED_WITH_ERROR -> the transfer was stopped by an minor error in one of the additional transfer steps
CREATED, CHANGED, UPDATED -> and some other values are used for a successful transfer
ObjectKeySAP Id of vendor
argsNot used
Returns
Return code used by the following Tc object update function. The following values are valid:
OK -> T4S will update the Tc object based on the reverse mapping preferences and the reverse mapping buffer
SKIPPED -> T4S will skip the TcData object
ERROR -> T4S will stop transfer and raise an error

◆ TC_Object2SAP_Vendor()

T4S::VENDOR::CUSTOM::MAPPING::TC_Object2SAP_Vendor   TransactionId ItemType ItemRevisionType args  

Customer specific mapping function to define the vendor to be transferred to SAP.

The procedure maps the following Teamcenter attributes to SAP attributes:
object_name -> SAP Name
object_desc -> line 1: SAP Id
supplier_addr -> line 1: SAP Street and House number; line 2: SAP Postal code and City
and some default values defined in t4s_mapping_config.sd.
In case of creation the SAP Id is pre-defined in the procedure.
In case of gateway mode Portal the procedure also checks the Action type. If the action is prohibited the user will get an error message.

  • DISPLAY is only possible if the item has an assigned SAP Id
Parameters
TransactionIdUnique ID for the transfer transaction
ItemTypeTeamcenter item type
ItemRevisionTypeTeamcenter item revision type
argsNot used
Returns
Return code used by the following transfer function. The following values are valid:
OK -> T4S will continue with the next transfer step
REVERSEMAPPINGONLY -> T4S will skip the transfer to SAP and will just do the reverse mapping
SKIPPED -> T4S will skip the transfer to SAP
ERROR -> T4S will stop transfer and raise an error
