Summary


Details

User is in the process of bringing their business on NX but they have a major concern with NXTOPVDIRECT translator (run_ugtopv via Dispatcher). Their concern is that the file name added to Teamcenter is generic MODEL$.jt for all the components and that it would cause issues with sharing the JT files with their vendors. They would like to configure the JT name to contain the ITEM ID and REV.



Solution

You should use configureFileName = true in the tessUG.config file. That will then name the JT file item_rev.jt. 


Here is the excerpt from the help: 
configureFileName 
Used to name the leaf node JT file. The name format is used whether importing JT files back into Teamcenter or writing them to the file system. This does not affect the name produced for native NX parts.


If set to true, the appendRevision option setting is false, and the JT files are written to the file system, then the Teamcenter revision ID is removed from both the node name and the JT filename. If the JT files are to be imported back into Teamcenter, only then is the node name altered.


Determining the name of the JT file to reference: If the leaf JT file names are altered as described above, the translator looks for the modified names when building the assembly.


Naming the JT assembly file: the Teamcenter ID can be removed from the assembly file name.


You can also toggle appendItemName = true and appendRevision = true for those parameters.
