Introduction to Technical Data Package (TDP)

The Aras Technical Data Package (TDP) application enables offline access for external suppliers by allowing specific data and files to be securely shared. Through the Export TDP action, users can export items, relationships, and associated files into a ZIP archive. This package includes an Excel file containing structured data across multiple worksheets, with columns representing properties from ItemTypes, RelationshipTypes, and Files. The package is generated on the server based on user actions, lifecycle promotions, or scheduled jobs. When updates are made, the Import TDP action allows users to re-import the modified data and files back into Aras Innovator. The Excel template used for package generation is selected according to predefined configuration rules.
