                                       Multi-Site Key terminology

Site : Single TC Teamcenter database

The site contains all the things like Hardware, Networking  and third-party software to implement the Teamcenter Site.

Every site contains Teamcenter database and Teamcenter users.

Facility : A physical location (Manufacturing plant or design center)

Physical location (for example, manufacturing plant, design center, and so forth) in your enterprise.It  extremely important not to confuse sites and facilities:

         Sites are Teamcenter databases; facilities are buildings/offices. One facility can mixture of multiple sites.

Remote Site: Any site other than current/owning site.

ODS site: Object Directory Service.

ODS site which stores records of every published object in the entire Multi-site collaboration network. Does not store the actual object, but just the record of it is similar to a library card.

IDSM : Integrated Distribution Service Manager.

This is an object transporter. It presents the mechanism used to export an object from the real site, transmit it over the network and import it into the other site.

ODS may be taken into consideration an object locator, the IDSM may be notion of as an object transporter.

Data Replication :

Data replication, over import and export functions, is the basics of Teamcenter Multi-Site Collaboration.

Data integrity :

As an object is replicated to numerous sites, how do you decide which object is the modern day model of an object? This is specifically proper if users are allowed to adjust replicated objects.

Publication Record: When any item is published on ODS, its record is created in database. This has basic info of the item like – Item ID, Owning Site etc.

Export Record : When an Item is exported from any site; this record is created at the owning site of the object. This contains export details of the item.


Typical Multi-Site Operations include 

  • Publish / Un-publish
  • Remote Search
  • Remote Import / Remote Export
  • Object Import / Export
  • Synchronization
  • Remote Check-in / Check-out

POM transmit file copy

  • Install -gen_xmit_file username  password role – This will generate POM transmit files specific to site.
  • CD %POM_TRANSMIT_DIR% will change to destination directory.
  • Copy all files generated by above command to this POM transmit directory.
  • This has to be done for each site in collaboration

Publish – Unpublish

  • Publish operation publishes record on ODS.
  • This makes items available for operations from other sites.
  • Publishing an object that visible to other sites.
    When you publish an object, a publication record is available in ODS record.

Any workspace item can be published, but best practice is to publish Items only.

Tools → Multi-Site Collaboration → Publish → To default ODS.

Un-Publish will remove item from ODS, as a result making it unavailable for other sites.
