Today , its been almost an year of a healthy up and running FlexPLM system. There is a new project, to integrate it with a legacy system. Its an Inbound integration where around 700 new attributes (Single list and Multilist) will be interfaced. But the values in flexPLM were totally different that the values we configured for the FlexPLM system during our design sessions an year ago, we never assumed that this need for a new integration willl arise in future.
There were two options to interface , either do the translation on the middleware or create alternate Keys in the Flex System.
Creating alternate keys for all 700 attributes is a small project on its own. I think we should write a program to create the alternate keys rather than doing it manually. We can use the FlexAttribute API's to load the moa List and the single list values. What do you guys suggest. can this be a generic program , using which we can automate the process of creating alternate keys ?
