NX Data Management before Teamcenter is Deployed

NX Data Management before Teamcenter is Deployed

NX Data Management before Teamcenter is Deployed

(OP)
Do any of you have some recommended best practices for managing NX data (versions and revisions) without Teamcenter?  We do have a document management system, but it is meant for MS Office types of product data.   

RE: NX Data Management before Teamcenter is Deployed

One method is to use Subversion coupled with an SVN client, such as Tortoise SVN.

You basically set up a Repository (can be on a local machine, but most usefully, on the network) which will hold the NX data.

Tortoise SVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) integrates into the Windows shell (x32 and x64) so that you can Update changed files from or Commit changes to the Repository with a right-click from your local folder copy.

A good, and fast (and simple, painless, etc) way to get going on the Repository side is VisualSVN ( http://www.visualsvn.com/ ).

SVN lacks a lot of the nice tools of real PDM systems but it's a good tool if you need at least SOMETHING to:

- handle version control
- provide a shared Repository of part files that multiple people can check out and use

Oh, and it's free.
 

RE: NX Data Management before Teamcenter is Deployed

Hmm, I probably should have been more clear about VisualSVN... the SVN server product is actually "VisualSVN Server"; you can read about it at: http://www.visualsvn.com/server/
