Example: Using the Available Teamcenter Services

The Sample Application has microflows that use the available services such as CreateItem and Search. Download the Teamcenter Connector Sample Application from the Mendix Marketplace, and import it into your project.

Handling Errors

It is a good practice to set up error handling on all your Teamcenter services in a microflow.

Use the HandleServiceErrors microflow to handle errors. To handle errors:

1. In your microflow, right-click your Teamcenter service and choose Set error handling.

2. In the Error handling dialog box, choose the error handling component.

   

3. Drag the Microflow call service from the Toolbox to your microflow.

   • Update the Action section of the microflow and select the TcConnector.HandleServiceErrors microflow.

   • Update the ServiceExeption parameter and specify the type of error.

     

4. Connect the Microflow call service with the service from where the error will originate.

   

5. Right-click the anchor point of the Teamcenter service and choose Set as error handler.

   

6. Specify an end event for your Handle Service Errors service.
