Return to Windchill and publish

The connector calls the existing Windchill methods, then publishes to SAP/PNC. Every step can be repeated safely and leaves evidence.

Step 17 of 24 · Presenter note
The connector reuses the existing Windchill methods, then publishes to SAP/PNC. Turn on “Simulate SAP/PNC rejection” to see a failed publication handled safely.

Safe to repeat

  • One idempotency key per job and destination
    TR-2027-01482/de-DE/C.2. A retry never creates a second document.
  • A failure never marks the job published
    The job stays approved and visible in exceptions until it succeeds.
  • Completed steps are not repeated
    A retry resumes at the step that failed.
