In this method, Violet will communicate directly with your Teamcenter server on a dedicated port.
To do so, you will need to open your firewall to our IP address:
By default, Violet will connect to port TCP:8080 on your Teamcenter server
To ensure that the connection between Violet and Teamcenter is secure, it is important that the endpoint on your Teamcenter server is protected with a valid SSL certificate.
If you prefer to use a different port, let us know. Any port is fine as long as JsonRestServices is available there.
In this method, we’ll need to establish a VPN tunnel (using a service such as Tailscale) between Violet’s AWS VPC and the network where your Teamcenter is hosted.
We’ll need to work directly with your team to configure and confirm the connection.
Creating a dedicated user account allows the Violet team to more reliably test and maintain your integration.
And unless you have ActiveWorkspace (browser-based Teamcenter which allows simultaneous logins for a single user), this is required to allow Violet to access the REST API without locking out another user.
The Violet team will create and share a 1Password vault to securely share credentials.
In order for Violet to connect to your Teamcenter instance, it will need to be running JsonRestServices,which is usually enabled out of the box.
Not sure whether yours is? Run the quick test below.
Test if your Teamcenter is running JsonRestServices
