Teamcenter Services Reference
 

The Teamcenter Services Reference has been enhanced with improved descriptions for service operations and data structures. This documentation can be used with all Teamcenter releases because signatures and functionality of the service operations remain unchanged between releases. The new and updated reference documentation will be supplied as part of distribution image of future release of the Teamcenter. As the majority of improved documentation is applicable to prior releases, we are making this available on GTAC, and you can use it by following the guidelines mentioned below.

The API documentation is available for each of the supported client bindings (Java, C++, .NET). Choose the language appropriate documentation:

New service operations are introduced with each release of Teamcenter.  Service operations are defined under a namespace/package that corresponds to the release date the service operation was introduced in. Below is a table of Teamcenter releases and the corresponding service namespaces. Refer to the documentation of service operations that exist in your release by using the corresponding namespace.

In reviewing this Teamcenter SOA documentation, please keep in mind, Teamcenter services that begin with date ‘2011_06’ or newer are generally not available in Teamcenter 8.3. In this documentation, you will see the namespace '2012_09’ that is reserved for a future release and is not available in Teamcenter 9.1.1 or earlier releases. For example, the  com.teamcenter.services.strong.core._2012_02.DataManagement.bulkCreateObjects service operation is introduced in the Teamcenter 9.1 release and is included in this documentation set, it is not available in Teamcenter 8.2. There some exceptions to this as some service operations are back-ported to older releases.

If the Teamcenter installation has been patched it is possible that newer SOA services may be made available. Please apply soa_client.zip that is included with the patch to update the SOA library resources.

To review if newer services are made available in a given patch, please do the following:

Java:   Open the respective TcSoa<servicename>.jar file (with your favorite Zip utility) and review ‘com/Teamcenter/services/strong’ for available services.

C++:   Review the header folder structure in soa_client/cpp/includes/cpp/include/Teamcenter/services/<servicename> for available services.

C#:   Open the respective TcSoa<servicename> resource in VS “Object Browser”.
