IPS Data upload utility for Migration - Part 1
Updated: Jul 19, 2021
Migration is the process of moving the data from older application (legacy system) into a new application. Any standard application in the market supports migration framework to bring data into the system. IPS Data Upload is one of the migration utility to support importing the new data or to update existing data into Teamenter. We have other utilities to do migration, we will look into those in other blog!!!
IPS_DATA_UPLOAD utility developed by Siemens for importing data in bulk into Teamcenter. IPS Data Upload Utility is built on top of Teamcenter ITK Api's framework, so don't expect the utility to be faster than Bulk data upload utility.
