Windchill Bulk Migrator 1. 0 Overview Presentation Created By: Software Development March, 2011
The Windchill Bulk Migrator: WBM The Windchill Bulk Migrator is used to migrate and consolidate data into a Windchill 10. 0 Enterprise PLM backbone Benefits: § Unify heterogeneous legacy PLM system landscapes through migration § Enable a standard migration strategy for Mergers & Acquisitions or business divestitures § Ensure data integrity by using PTC supported object creation methodology § Lower or eliminate source and target system downtime during migration § Lower migration effort and costs by using out of the box PTC tooling § Lower total cost of ownership by de-customizing during migration and mapping to out of the box Windchill capabilities 2
The WBM fills critical migration use cases Capabilities add to and complement standard Upgrade and Migration paths and tools Migration Type Example Migration Tool Non-PTC (Legacy) to Windchill Migration Matrix to PDMLink 9. 1 Windchill Bulk Migrator Windchill Merge PDMLink 9. 1, system A combine with PDMLink 9. 1, system B into single Windchill 10. 0 system C Windchill Bulk Migrator Windchill Foundation & PDM to PDMLink (with decustomization) Windchill Foundation & PDM 6. 2. 6 to PDMLink 10. 0 Windchill Bulk Migrator Windchill Upgrade PDMLink 9. 1 to PDMLink 10. 0 PTC Upgrade Manager Windchill Update PDMLink 9. 0 to PDMLink 9. 1 PSI: PTC Solution Installer Pro/INTRALINK 3.

What Does PTC Mean by Bulk Migration Goal: Permanently move data from one or more systems to Windchill § Example 1: System consolidation – Multiple Windchill systems merge to single Windchill system § Example 2: Legacy system replacement with Windchill 10. 0 – Metaphase to Windchill, Enovia to Windchill, … § Standard migration approach is Extract, Transform, Load and Validate (ETLV) § New PTC Tools: Windchill Bulk Migrator (WBM) for Windchill 10. 0 Focus: Permanent, oneway bulk migration Not the Focus: 2 way integration Legacy System WBM Legacy System Windchill 10. 0 Map and transform data as needed 4
