How to Implement the PLM Template Naming Business Logic?

This business logic is called whenever instantiating a PLM Template.

The BL provides a name for the duplicated references created at instantiation.

This section describes the objects defining the PLM Opening: i

• its global information,
• its kind of input object,
• its context object parameters.

The Business Logic is invoked for any reference included in the Duplicated Components list of the PLM Template. At instantiation, these components are duplicated and the BL is called to compute the new References name. . 

No specific parameters are given for this BL. You can access the object on which the BL is called through the “ThisObject” variable.

The following BL sample shows how to modify the PLM_ExternalID of the cloned component of the Template using the username and the current time to ensure uniqueness.

ThisObject.PLM_ExternalID = Parameters.UserID + "_" + 
ThisObject.PLM_ExternalID + "_" + DateFormat("%d/%m/%y_%H:%M:%S")
