What is the Delegate for Windchill ® ? The Delegate for Windchill ® is built upon a service-oriented architecture (SOA) that facilitates the communication and data sharing between an IBM Rational DOORS ® Server and today’s leading Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, Windchill ®. Delegate for Windchill ®

What is SOA? Defined by the W3C as "a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to- machine interaction over a network“W3Cinteroperablemachine-to- machinenetwork They expose API of the operations offered by the service written in the Web Services Description Language (WSDL)Web Services Description Language User Interfaces are provided by Implementation

The Delegate for Windchill ® leverages the Stoneworks Ambassador SOA Framework. Ambassador SOA Framework consists of the following 3 services: –Ambassador Service for DOORS ® –Envoy Service –Delegate Service Delegate for Windchill ®

Ambassador SOA Framework DOORS Server Cache Ambassador Service for DOORS Envoy Service DOORS Client Delegate Service Client JAVA, C++, VB, Perl, etc Delegate Service Client JAVA, C++, VB, Perl, etc WSDL

Ambassador Service for DOORS ® Manages –Sessions (License Consumption) –Envoy Connections –Cache –File Transfers –Load Balancing Cache –Converts RTF from DOORS Into Apache FOP XMLApache FOP From FOP to HTML From FOP to PDF –Converts Pictures from DOORS Into JPG format

Ambassador SOA Framework DOORS Server Cache Ambassador Service for DOORS Envoy Service DOORS Client Delegate Service Client JAVA, C++, VB, Perl, etc Delegate Service Client JAVA, C++, VB, Perl, etc WSDL

Envoy Service Manages DOORS Clients –Starts N DOORS Clients –Monitors QOS of DOORS Clients –Stops DOORS Clients Handles request from the Ambassador Service for DOORS by creating DXL Scripts Dynamically and submitting the script to DOORS and waiting for DOORS to complete the request. –The script generates XML Transforms the XML response from DOORS into JAVA Objects that are returned to the Ambassador

Delegate Service The Ambassador SOA Framework can be integrated into any 3 rd Party Product using the Delegate Service.

Delegate Service Adaptable to any programming language that supports Web Service Development –JAVA, C++, Visual Basic, Perl, etc. Therefore most any existing 3 rd party thin or thick application can leverage DOORS data and add value to their respective product by producing their own proprietary Delegate service. Stoneworks Software Corporation’s Development Team can assist any customer in building a custom Delegate Service.

By leveraging Ambassador SOA Framework, Stoneworks Software has created an OOTB solution for Windchill ® that seamlessly integrates IBM Rational DOORS ® data throughout the Windchill ® PLM. Thus, allowing easy bi-directional traceability and navigation between DOORS Requirements and the Windchill PLM. Delegate for Windchill ® A Value Add Solution

Business Logic Past and Present

Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case System EngineeringDesign Engineering Let’s take a look at how a Systems Engineer and Design Engineer did business in the past.

Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case System EngineeringDesign Engineering Using DOORS ®, the Systems Engineer develops a set of Baseline Requirement Documents to support a project.

Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case System EngineeringDesign Engineering Upon completion the Systems Engineer delivers the Baseline Requirement Documents to the Design Engineer.

System EngineeringDesign Engineering The Design Engineer studies the Requirements and now in a application environment Outside of DOORS ® produces CAD Data representing physical objects that satisfy the Requirement Documentation. Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering And now we can start Manufacturing! Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy? Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering Often times the Systems Engineer needs to make modifications to the Requirement Documents. This is where “The Disconnect” between the disciplines starts to reveal itself. Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering It can be difficult for the Systems Engineer to identify all the CAD Data that a Requirement modification will impact. Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering Is there even a way for the Systems Engineer to do that without getting the Design Engineer involved? Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering How much TIME is lost trying to coordinate schedules? Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering Regardless of all those questions, lets say the Systems Engineer finds all the information he needs for the Modification and the Requirements Document is Updated. Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering How then can the Systems Engineer let the Design Engineer know a modification occurred? ? Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering For that matter, what if the Design Engineer identifies an issue with a Requirement during the Design process? ? Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering How does the Design Engineer notify the Systems Engineer of the outstanding issue? ? Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

System EngineeringDesign Engineering It’s an age old problem and no doubt there are existing procedures in place that attempt to address “The Disconnect”. ? Delegate for Windchill ® Past Use Case

Delegate for Windchill ® SOLVES “The Disconnect” Delegate for Windchill ®

Integration with the Windchill ® Product Structure Explorer Integration with the Windchill ® Product Structure Explorer also makes it easy to identify the parts that are missing requirement linkages. Delegate for Windchill ®

Ambassador ® Administrative Tools… Ambassador Service for DOORS allows for Enterprise Class scalability such as Advanced Metadata Caching, Load Balancing and Redundancy. Multiple DOORS ® Databases can be mapped using a one to one relationship between an Ambassador Service for DOORS ® and a DOORS ® database. The Ambassador Service for DOORS® can also be used by multiple Windchill ® Containers. Delegate for Windchill ®

Ambassador ® Delegate Administrative Tools… Each respective Windchill ® Container can use it’s own Authentication Method. Access control is dictated by the Windchill ® Program, Product, Project, and Library containers. Each respective container can utilize 1 of 3 mechanisms of authenticating into a DOORS ® server. Delegate for Windchill can be configured to use one of the 3 different following Authentication Methods: 1. Single DOORS ® User for all Windchill ® Users 2. Prompt each Windchill ® user for a DOORS ® Log in 3. Windchill ® and DOORS ® can use the same Directory server Delegate for Windchill ®
