Detailed Description

In order to hide the implementation of Export Path Service from other components, the following ITK interface is provided. All software must use the following API to find relative export path.

AIE_eps

This module is called Export Path Service, which comes under Application Integration Environment. The module comprises of all the generic interfaces that can be utilized for any third party integration. The following are public interfaces.

Function Documentation

int AIE_eps_ask_absolute_path	(	tag_t	connection_id,
		tag_t	file_tag,
		char *	file_name,
		char	file_spec[AIE_connection_filename_size_c+1]
	)

This function outputs the absolute file spec after concatanation of connection directory name, relative file path and file name. If absolute file spec exceeds 240 chars the function will give error.

Parameters

connection_id	(I) Tag of the connection
file_tag	(I) Tag of the Teamcenter Engineering file
file_name	(I) Name of the file as to be exported (Could be different from i-Man file name due to the use of renaming service)
file_spec	(O) Absolute file spec that includes connection export directory, relative export path, and the name of the exported file.

int AIE_eps_ask_ixf_path	(	tag_t	connection_id,
		const char *	absolute_file_spec,
		char	ixf_file_spec[AIE_connection_filename_size_c+1]
	)

This function outputs the directory path for writing the ixf_file_spec. If preference variable AIE_IXF_DIRECTORY is set to "YES", then this function concatenates the absolute file with ".iman" to out put ixf_file_spec. If ixf_file_spec exceeds 240 chars the function will give error.

Parameters

connection_id	(I) Tag of connection _id
absolute_file_spec	(I) Absolute export path of file
ixf_file_spec	(O) IXF export path of file
