Update for Syndeia Cloud 3.6 – This exercise assumes that the user has been assigned Global Graph Query permission by the Syndeia Cloud administrator in order to access the Graph Queries page. Screenshots in this tutorial were taken from an earlier release; the icons on the left margin of the figures and the graphical display format of query results have been modified but the instructions are otherwise unchanged.

Background – Windchill

As of Syndeia release 3.46, the Syndeia Web Dashboard can extract and display some model information from a Windchill repository. Figure 1 shows a tree view of this information, with labels identifying the Windchill element types. Note the different icons. The label color coding indicates how the Windchill element type is mapped to the Syndeia Cloud element types: Repository (green), Container (red), and Artifact (blue). The Syndeia Windchill integration supports standard Windchill artifact types, including Parts, Folders and Baselines, and multiple Windchill Container types, including Products, Projects and Libraries. A more complete diagram of the Windchill data model as it is understood by Syndeia is available through the web dashboard help menu on the left.

It is also important to understand the limitations of graph queries with respect to the Windchill repositories. As of Syndeia 3.46, graph queries cannot extract the internal structure of a Windchill repository, i.e. they cannot be used to obtain the full structure of the Windchill repository or internal (intra-model) relations between Windchill artifacts. In this way, graph queries are different than the Tree View or Graph View (Digital Thread Explorer) capabilities of the Repositories page in the Syndeia Web Dashboard. Graph queries are most useful in viewing inter-model connections from Windchill elements to other repositories.
