What are "Secondary Objects" in the Teamcenter context?

In the context of Teamcenter, "Secondary Objects" refer specifically to configurations or instances of Primary Business Objects. These Secondary Objects provide detailed representations of the various configurations that a Primary Business Object can have. This allows users to manage different variants of a primary entity based on specific requirements or project needs.

For example, if a Primary Business Object represents a product, the Secondary Objects would include various versions or configurations of that product, such as different models or variants that share certain characteristics. This distinction is crucial for businesses that need to handle complex product structures and variations effectively.

Other choices might suggest different interpretations, such as the creation of entirely new business object types, archival data, or non-structured data, which do not accurately represent the role of Secondary Objects in managing configurations or instances of existing primary entities.
