Overview

You can use this Snap to create a new Teamcenter software bill of materials (BoM) Structure based on the specifications of an input JSON document. The Teamcenter parts, items, or elements of derived data types must already exist in the system.

Snap Type

The Teamcenter BoM Structure Create Snap is a Write-type Snap that writes JSON documents to the Teamcenter software.

Prerequisites

Valid client ID.
A valid account with the required permissions.

Limitations and Known Issues

None.

Teamcenter BOM Structure Create

The Teamcenter BOM structure based on an input JSON document specification.

Within the JSON document it is possible:

to specify the root BOM node by setting the lineObject attribute with the Teamcenter UID
to set the revision rule by use of revisionRule attribute
to set the BOM view type by use of bomViewType attribute
to set the precise option
add structured list of child elements by adding child lists
each child must have a lineObject attribute and may contain linedata attributes to set BOM line attribute values.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Snap Settings

Asterisk ( * ): Indicates a mandatory field.
Suggestion icon (): Indicates a list that is dynamically populated based on the configuration.
Expression icon ( ): Indicates the value is an expression (if enabled) or a static value (if disabled). Learn more about Using Expressions in SnapLogic.
Add icon ( ): Indicates that you can add fields in the field dset.
Remove icon ( ): Indicates that you can remove fields from the field set.
Upload icon ( ): Indicates that you can upload files.

Field Name		Field Type	Description
Label* Default Value: TC Structure Get Example: TC Structure Get		String	The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.
Revision Rule* Default Value: N/A Example: 3<1		String/Expression	Specify the revision rule you want the Snap to use for the structure expansion.
Mode* Default Value: Inline Example: collect		Dropdown	Select the mode in which you want to showcase the results. The options available are: each inline collect
Object ID* Default Value: $._id Example: concat		Dropdown	Select the UID (unique identifier) or the Teamcenter adapter ID of the object.
Type Default Value: N/A Example: Diameter		String/Expression	Specify the name of the Teamcenter type.
Expand Attributes	Specify the attributes you want the Snap to fetch from Teamcenter. Each atribute must be specified as a new row. Click to add a row.
Expand Attributes	Name* Default Value: None. Example: Item_response	String	Specify the name of the attribute.
Snap Execution Default Value: Example: Validate & Execute		Dropdown list	Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
