Managing Knowledge Fusion Data and Tools within TeamCenter Engineering

Managing Knowledge Fusion Data and Tools within TeamCenter Engineering

Managing Knowledge Fusion Data and Tools within TeamCenter Engineering

(OP)
Hi Again, hoping you can help me with the below....

Question – I have developed custom 3D design tools using the Knowledge Fusion application within NX3.

I would like to make these available to colleagues in different global locations but I am unsure as to whether to make them available within a TeamCenter Engineering environment or just via a directory on a central server.

Has anybody tried to do something similar and what are the pro’s and con’s of each approach?

Has anybody experienced any problems creating, storing and managing Knowledge Fusion Based Applications/Tools within a Team Center Engineering environment?

Thanks Andy

RE: Managing Knowledge Fusion Data and Tools within TeamCenter Engineering

I would not suggest managing KF files in Teamcenter. It is possible but not advised. There where issues earlier on in the KF and Teamcenter world that some if not all have been resolved but I don't believe that is a good way to manage or distribute KF code.

RE: Managing Knowledge Fusion Data and Tools within TeamCenter Engineering

For a better way to distribute KF or manage any code for that matter would be a SCM such as SubVersion http://subversion.tigris.org/. It's open source (free) and is great at managing versions of code and preserving history of what is changed/released/etc.

A possible solution would be to create a production folder structure that is the only folder accessible to sites, and the code/source is secured only to developers. When new versions are ready for production it can be tagged and also merged into the production folder. The sites would do a synchronize and get the new version. This can be done over the internet using SSH if you want to be more secure.

A little long winded but hopefully will be useful to someone as an idea.
