aP Connect System Administrator Responsibilities

aP Connect System Administrators are responsible for managing Connectors, Agents, and Workflows. Connectors and Agents enable the transfer of data between your PLM server and the aP Connect server. Connectors also map attribute fields from the PLM system to aP Connect fields. Workflows automate the costing of components and reporting of costing results. System Administrators for organizations that use a File System Integration are also responsible for creating and maintaining an aP Connect Root Folder.

Administrative responsibilities for aP Connect System are typically shared by aPriori Deployment Leads and PLM System Administrators.

aPriori Deployment Leads have experience developing and using User Defined Attributes (UDAs), deciding which attributes to use for costing inputs, and determining which costing outputs are important to various product team members and stakeholders. This experience is required for mapping Connector fields and creating Workflows.

PLM System Administrators have expertise with the attribute structure of the PLM system. They know which costing inputs and outputs are stored, where they are stored, and the names of the fields that store them. This experience is also required for mapping Connector fields and creating Workflows.

Note:

System Administrators must work with aPriori Customer Support to manage aP Connect Users.
