CREATION OF ATTRIBUTES IN WINDCHILL PDM LINK

[Ash_Venki]

Other than creating attributes using Type and Attribute manager, is there any other ways to reproduce the same?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Yes, load files.

Hey Oliver,

Are u referring to Load Files which are taken as exports? Or are u implying to create a Load File of our own?

[olivierfresse]

I think both are possible, but what I do on my side is to start from en exported one, with all I need.

Say i have to create an attribute first time for a type(let it be season,product etc) , How can i achieve it using Load Files.

I want to create a attribute from Scratch.Is it possible using Load Files?

If yes, just can u outline?

[olivierfresse]

Sure.

Create 2 attributes in a CustomAttributes organizer :

<NmLoader>
  <csvAttrDefinizer handler="wt.iba.definition.DefinitionLoaderWithCache.createAttrDefinizer" >
      <csvname>CustomAttributes</csvname>
      <csvhierarchyDisplayName></csvhierarchyDisplayName>
      <csvorganizerPaths></csvorganizerPaths>
      <csvdefinitionPaths></csvdefinitionPaths>
      <csvdisplay_name></csvdisplay_name>
      <csvdescription></csvdescription>
      <csvdata_type>org</csvdata_type>
