Import a component from a CADENAS catalog

The purpose of this task is to show how you can exploit the PARTsolutions plug-in to import a component from a CADENAS catalog into our product.
In order to complete the job, you must first create the part in thinkPLM, then import the component from the CADENAS catalog assigning it the part data just created.

1	Start the our product and open a new document.
2	Start the New Entity command and select a part entity type among those listed.
3	In the part properties dialog box that opens, enter the Part number: MASP-00055. Fill the other fields to your liking, then click OK in order to create the thinkPLM part.
4	Start CADENAS PARTdataManager by clicking the Import from PARTdataManager Catalog command. You are asked to log in; enter your User and Password to access the CADENAS server: Note in the lower left corner that some catalogs have a green icon: these contain at least one object linked to a part number. Other catalogs have an orange crossed out icon: no object in these has ever been linked to a thinkPLM part number.
5	Open a catalog and select a row which has no part number assigned. Click the Add record to database command and enter in the Erp-Number field the part name you created in thinkPLM: MASP-00055. Click OK to close the dialog box: Note that in order for thinkPLM to automatically assign the part data to a component imported from the CADENAS catalogs, the Erp-Number must match a Part number:. If it does, the row in the catalog is updated with the data from the thinkPLM database:
6	You are now ready to import the component in your editor by clicking Export.
7	Test the results by editing the part data of the component you imported from the catalog. If successful, the Part number: is MASP-00055, and if you run a Query View on Parts to inspect MASP-00055, you should see that it has been linked to the relevant cadenas component.
