PowerShell2Teamcenter 01 English

The document discusses using PowerShell to automate tasks in Teamcenter. It describes how PowerShell cmdlets were developed to access Teamcenter via its SOA interface. This allows tasks like querying for items, loading objects by ID, navigating BOMs, and setting properties to be done in a single line of PowerShell code. It eliminates the manual effort of maintaining Excel lists and running multiple Teamcenter command line tools. A key benefit is that if the source data list changes, the PowerShell script does not need to be re-run and edited like with the previous manual process.

THE PROBLEM…
• Task
• List from a external System (for example SAP) with ItemId´s
• Query in Teamcenter
• Find last revision
• Write a property, how is also in the given list

parameters

• A lot of manual effort and maintenance of lists in Excel


• If the source list is changed, the manual steps must be repeated
• Error prone

WHAT IS POWERSHELL?
PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft,
consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language.
In PowerShell, administrative tasks are generally performed by cmdlets (pronounced
command-lets), which are specialized .NET classes implementing a particular operation. These
work by accessing data in different data stores, like the file system or registry, which are made
available to PowerShell via providers. Third-party developers can add cmdlets and providers to
PowerShell.[6][7] Cmdlets may be used by scripts and scripts may be packaged into modules.

TASK WITH POWERSHELL2TEAMCENTER
• One line in PowerShell
• Import-Csv -Path "ListeAusSAP.csv" |
• % { Get-TeamcenterItemAndObjects -ItemId $_.Teilenummer -RevisionRule Last |
• Set-TeamcenterProperty @("object_desc") @($_.AttributWert) }
• Advantage
• No manual adjustment of Excel lists
• If the list is changed, no steps have to be repeated

POWERSHELL
• A cmdlet (pronounced “command-let”) is a lightweight script for Windows PowerShell,
which serves only one specific purpose at a time. ... Even if the PowerShell already contains
several hundred cmdlets, administrators can also write and share their own cmdlets.

STRUCTURE POWERSHELL2TEAMCENTER
The cmdlet's are divided into 4 different areas

Session-Management Load Data Navigation Select and Edit
