Known Limitations
Below is a list of known limitations for the PDX STEPXML based outbound integration endpoint.
Dimension dependent Asset content
It is not currently possible to transfer context-specific images by making the asset content dimension dependent as described in the Asset Dimension Dependencies subsection of the Maintaining Assets topic in the Getting Started documentation here. However, a similar result can be achieved by making the asset reference type dimension dependent instead.
Transfer of Product Families
It is not currently possible to transfer objects modeling a product family to PDX. However, if the ID of the family object is included on the object representing the core product record, PDX will allow a virtual grouping of products based on the value of such an attribute.
LOV Value IDs
It is not currently possible to transfer the value IDs of attributes using the LOV Base Type validation. Only the raw value of the attribute is included in the exports to PDX.
Product-to-Product References
It is not currently possible to transfer information about a products relationship to other products (e.g. accessories, bundles it’s included in, cross-sell opportunities, etc.) modeled through references in STEP with identical source and target object types.
Data containers
It is not currently possible to transfer data stored in STEP Data Containers. This means that the data either needs to the be modeled as flat attributes on the Object itself, or as a referential structure. Refer to the Handling Nested Data Structures topic in this documentation for more information here.
Dimension dependent STEP Names
It is currently not possible to transfer language-specific attribute, reference, and unit names to PDX. The STEP Names available in the 'default context' are the only source of information used in the data transfer. For more information, refer to the Base Setup topic in this documentation here.
Classification references
It is currently not possible to transfer references from products to classifications. Product-relevant information stored in the classification structure, should be made available on the Object representing the core product record through Business Actions or Calculated Attributes.
