How To : Submit an Engineering Change Request

Once approved, send the ECR to engineering. The simple way is to print the ECR and deliver it manually to the engineering department. The lifecycle also provides a trigger that a connection can pick up to make an electronic delivery.

To maintain the connection:

1. Type Engineering Change Management Connections in the search box.
2. Select the ECM-ECR connection and open it or select Edit from the ribbon.
3. The connection has three elements:
   • The WORKFLOWEVENT selects the workflow and workflow state that triggers the connection. In this example, 40-PROCESS is selected.
   • The XMLGENERATOR creates an XML file from the current record of the ECR table. The fields in the file are specified in the ECM-ECR Document.
   • The FILEWRITER writes the generated file to a specified location on the network. The file name is generated and you can configure it.
