1. Open the SysML project Syndeia_Teamcenter_Mapping_Tutorial.mdzip, right-click the Teamcenter package, and launch the Syndeia dashboard
2. Go to the Mappings tab. The first task will be to create a new mapping using existing artifacts.
   1. Right-click SysML-Teamcenter under Mapping Groups in the left column and select Add Mapping.
   2. Initially, the window should appear similar to Figure 1.

   3. Modify the Mapping
      1. Change Name to Activity – Item (no attributes)
      2. Change Description to SysML Activity – Teamcenter Item with no attributes
      3. Change Source Artifact Type to Activity, using pull-down menu
      4. Set Target Artifact Type to Item, using pull-down menu
      5. Set Structure Level to CHILDREN_RECURSIVE, using pull-down menu
      6. Set Include Attributes to Exclude Attributes, using pull-down menu
      7. The window should look similar to Figure 2.

      8. Click Save Mapping at bottom of right side (scroll down if necessary).
3. Use the new Mapping you just created
   1. Go to the Connection Manager tab. Open a Teamcenter repository in the right column.
   2. Drag the T2::Feature_Auto activity in the SysML model into an empty folder in Teamcenter (Demo 2 in this example).
   3. A small pull-down menu will appear on the Syndeia dashboard, as Figure 3, showing the possible mappings available for an activity dragged into Teamcenter.

   4. Select Activity – Item (No attributes) and click OK.
   5. Expand the Demo 2 folder on the right side of the Connection Manager. Check that a new set of items has been created with default attribute values assigned by Teamcenter.
4. The second task is to create another new mapping, this one with attributes shared between the SysML and Teamcenter elements. We will use the Clone Mapping command rather Add Mapping. Clone Mapping saves time when not all features of the new mapping need to be modified.
   1. Right-click Activity – Item (no Attributes) under Mapping Groups/SysML - Teamcenter in the left column and select Clone Mapping
   2. Initially, the window should appear similar to Figure 4.

   3. Modify the Mapping
      1. Change Name to Activity – Item (attributes)
      2. Change Description to SysML Activity – Teamcenter Item with attributes
      3. Keep Source Artifact Type as Activity and Target Artifact Type as Item
      4. Set Structure Level to NO_CHILDREN, using pull-down menu
      5. Set Include Attributes to Include Attributes, using pull-down menu
      6. At the bottom of the right side, click the + sign box under the Stereotypes table.
      7. A Select stereotype window will open. The window should look similar to Figure 5.

      8. Select Intercax_Artifact. This choice will appear in the Stereotype box on the right.
      9. Scroll up to Attribute Definition Mappings
      10. Click Retrieve Available Attribute Definitions
      11. Click the + box below the Attribute Definition Mappings box.
      12. In the new row, select item_id on the right (Target) side of the table, using the pull-down menu
      13. In the new row, select id [owner: Stereotype (Intercax_Artifact)] on the left (Source) side of the table.
      14. Repeat steps xi through xiii for object_type and Gov Classification. The final table should look like Figure 6.

      15. Click Save Mapping at bottom of right side (scroll down if necessary).
5. Use the cloned Mapping you just created
   1. Go to the Connection Manager tab. Open the Teamcenter repository you used above in the right column.
   2. Drag the Feature_AutoInit Teamcenter item created earlier into the empty SysML T4
   3. A small pull-down menu will appear on the Syndeia dashboard, as in Figure 7, showing the possible mappings available for an item dragged into SysML.
      
      Image Added
      
      
   4. Select Activity – Item (attributes) and click OK.
6. A new activity (named Feature_AutoInit) should appear under T4 on the SysML side. It will have the <<Intercax_artifact>> stereotype in addition to Activity and all the tag values associated with that stereotype. However, only the id and type attributes mapped in the Activity – New Item (attributes) mapping have been populated in the SysML element from the Teamcenter item (see Figure 8).

   Note that SysML activities do not normally have any place to receive the Teamcenter attributes. Because the <<Intercax_artifact>> stereotype was chosen in the new mapping definition, the new activity was created with that additional stereotype and tag values ready to receive the desired Teamcenter attributes.
   
7. Modify the new SysML activity to demonstrate compare and sync features of mapped attributes.
   1. In SysML, add a value (e.g. USA) to the govClass tag using the specification window. Do not use HTML formatting.
   2. In the Syndeia dashboard, Connection Browser tab, find the connection from T4::Feature_AutoInit to Teamcenter (Figure 9). Right-click this row and select Compare Source & Target.

   3. The Comparison Result tab will show the differences between the SysML and Teamcenter models (Figure 10). The difference table shows that the SysML model has a value for the govClass attribute.

   4. Return to the Syndeia dashboard, Connection Browser tab, and the connection from T4::Feature_AutoInit to Teamcenter (Figure 9). Right-click this row and select Sync Source to Target.

   5. Repeat the comparison and see that all differences have been resolved by updating the Teamcenter model.
