Question

Burst Configuration - default WC attribute values

I am trying to understand burst configurations and more specifically, how to set Windchill attributes in a burst configuration file for doctypes.

 

For example, if I have the following in my burst config file

<typerule elementname="graphic"
targettype="wt.epm.EPMDocument|"/>

 

In Windchill, we have a defined soft type of com.aa.softtype. 

 

What tag in the burst confg file should I modify with a default value so when the objects are burst into Windchill, the value is populated in the Windchill GUI?

The information about setting the Object type for new objects is in the Help Center topic called "Configuring Object Types".

 

For your example, if com.aa.softtype is a subtype of Dynamic Document, then you would want a rule in the <dmsobjtype> section like this:

<typerule sourcetype="graphic"
targettype="wt.epm.EPMDocument|com.aaa.DynamicDocument|com.aaa.softtype"/>

Note that all Arbortext documents must be Dynamic Document or a subtype of DYnamic Document.  They cannot be a subtype of wt.epm.EPMDocument.

 

The information about setting attribute values in Windchill is in the Help Center topic called "Assigning PTC Server Properties".
