List of Values (LOV) in Teamcenter

LOV is a list of values which can be attached statically or dynamically to a property on Teamcenter business objects. It can be treated as a picklist where user can select any value in the list and it will be referred to as the value of that corresponding property.

Teamcenter LOVs are categorized in mainly three types:

  1. Classic LOVvalues are stored in a template.
  2. Dynamic LOVvalues are populated dynamically by querying the database.
  3. Batch LOVvalues are stored in Teamcenter database rather than storing in the template.

Existing LOVs are referenced in the LOV folder under Extensions folder in Teamcenter BMIDE interface.

Creating a classic LOV:

There are two methods to create LOV in BMIDE, choose anyone

  • What is the deployment process for all LOV's into Teamcenter? Are they same or different?

    • Hi Amol,

      Two Types of the deployment process in BMIDE.
      1.Hot Deployment
      2.Cold Deployment

      For checking point of view doing hot deployment and for production, Please do the cold deployment.

      For more information kindly read the BMIDE document.

      • Thank you for your answer. But I want to know deployment or creation process for specifically Batch, Classic and Dynamic LOVs.
        Because for Batch Lov we need to use bmide_manage_batch_lovs utility to update lov values into Teamcenter database.
        I want to know more about this.

  • How to set the lov value to the property having lov with ITK ?
    Eg.
