Characteristics and use cases
of each XML flavor
Do not share data using PLM XML between two sites connected by
Multi-Site, if the same objects are to be replicated later via CMS or GMS.
“appRef” concept to establish stable identity for update use cases, also
valid for BOMLines (XML contains both instance graph and ProductView)

Framework
Global Multi-Site:
Multi-siting of data between sites in the Teamcenter federation (TCUA, TCE)
utilizing Global Services Framework
PDX integration:
Import/export is facilitated via XSLT translation between TC XML and PDX.
Used to facilitate communication with ERP systems
Briefcase:
Focus on packaging up all data (structured and bulk) required to work with
PDM data offline. Site check-out concept facilitates
update of offline transferred data
Interspec Integration:
GMS based integration between Interspec
(a SIEMENS Product Data Management application
focusing on recipe related BOMs)
Excel-BOM integration:
GMS based Import of excel spreadsheet data into Teamcenter
Several large OEMs (Automotive, Aerospace etc) are using GMS in production for their
Data Transfer/Coexistence/Data Migration needs w.r.t. TCEnterprise TCUA
TC XML (GMS) is the strategic go-forward, best-practice solution for Data Transfer,
Data Migration and Data Coexistence of TCEnt to TCUA data transfer within a
Teamcenter Federation
Using TC XML for metadata transport, and compressed set of bulk files
