Working With PDM Managed Documents

Each Solid Edge PDM client provides an API

Insight Will provide documented examples

Solid Edge Embedded Client ( SEEC) This presentation will focus mainly on SEEC APIs

Insight XT (IXT) Will provide documented examples

Insight API’s

All Solid Edge API commands are “INSIGHT” enabled File Open (both interactive command and API) accepts either url or folder

based name, cache, etc. Revision Manager.Open will automatically check-out a file managed by Insight.

There is an INSIGHT automation layer to directly access/execute INSIGHT server specific commands such as download/upload/check-in/check-out etc.

Insight API’s available on both Revsion Manager and Solid Edge Framework object models

How to Log Into SEEC/TC

ValidateLogin

Purpose:This API is used to authenticate the user before calling any others SEEC functions.

Syntax: Call ObjSEEC.ValidateLogin( UserName, Password, Group)

Parameters:

UserName (Input): Specifies the UserName of the user to authenticate

Password (Input): Specifies the password of the user to authenticate

Group (Input): Specifies the group to which the user belongs. The default group is “dba”

Url (Input) : Specifies the TC database. Can be 2 Tier or 4 Tier

Note: The behavior of the authentication process depends on the display_alerts flag. If the value of the flag is OFF, then Validatelogin () method internally silently (i.e. without showing any Login dialog) does Auto login using supplied credentials.

SEEC API’s

Slightly different approach that the Insight API’s with regards to CO\Open, CI\Close

The Documents.Open API does not take input directly from the TC database The document needed must already exist in the SEEC cache

At this point the Documents.Open from the SEEC cache

strFileName is the file from the SEEC cache !
