Traditionally, PLM systems and SCM systems have not been linked. In an embodiment, a computer method includes, responsive to a user request to transfer a module from a product lifecycle management (PLM) system to a source code management (SCM) system, extracting, from a processor at the PLM system, the data representing modules, versions of the modules, and hierarchical relationships of the modules from a data source of the PLM system. The method further includes creating an SCM system module having the extracted data representing the modules, versions of the modules, and the hierarchical relationships of the modules. Therefore, the PLM system can export a module to the SCM system in a process controlled at the PLM system.

Exporting hierarchical data from a source code management (SCM) system to a product lifecycle management (PLM) system

In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for automatically updating imported information in a destination system upon a change to a corresponding module in the source system, includes, responsive to the source system detecting a change to a source module in the source system changing, where the source module corresponds to an imported module of the destination system, loading breadcrumbs in the source system corresponding to the source module. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, based on the loaded breadcrumbs, destination modules linked to the changed source module. The computer-implemented method further includes exporting changes to the destination modules at the destination system from the source system. Therefore, the data remains synchronized between the two systems as changes are made on either system.

Bi-directional synchronization of data between a product lifecycle management (PLM) system and a source code management (SCM) system

In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for managing conflicts in a logical component hierarchy is provided. The logical component hierarchy includes an ancestor component and a descendant component associated with the ancestor component. The method uses a computer device in communication with a memory. The method includes determining, by the computer device, a requirement to replace the descendant component, within the logical component hierarchy, with an overriding component. The overriding component is associated with the ancestor component by an overriding reference. The method also includes replacing the descendant component with the overriding component within the logical component hierarchy.

Methods and systems for resolving conflicts in hierarchically-referenced data

A computer-implemented method for filtering components from a logical component hierarchy is provided. The method uses a computing device having a processor and a memory. The method includes identifying, in the memory, a filter associated with the logical component hierarchy. The method also includes comparing, by the processor, a sub-component of the logical component hierarchy with the filter. The method further includes identifying the sub-component for filtration based on the comparison of the sub-component with the filter. The method also includes filtering the sub-component from the logical component hierarchy.
