Hi Avinash, the WindchillConnector::Create service is using the Windchill Generic Web Service - this is an I*E based SOAP Web Service.

If you are familiar with Windchill Info*Engine, I recommend you to have a look at the I*E task xml and the <Create-Objects> webject documentation:

WindchillConnector::Create (TWX Service)

---> TwxIEWebService (WNC SOAP WS)

        ---> <WT_HOME>\com\ptc\windchill\ws\Create.xml (WNC I*E Task)

               ---> <Create-Objects> (WNC I*E Webject)

You can find an example of WindchillConnector::Create usage in ptc-windchill-demo-thing::CreateProblemReport service.

CreateProblemReport performs the following operations :

1. fetch a WTPart from its oid (WindchillConnector::Fetch)
2. create a WTChangeIssue (WindchillConnector::Create)
3. link the WTPart and WTChangeIssue as ReportedAgainst (WindchillConnector::Link)
