Create Variant Specification by API

[Lukasz1]

Hello,
I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.23
I would like to programmatically create Variant Specification. As far as I can see in the documentation such customization should be possible.
e.g.
Sample Code for VariantLoadNavCriteriaBean API but the problem is I cannot find
VariantSpecLoaderHelper.service.loadVariantSpecs(beans, partConfigSpecBeans, atoConfigSpecBeans);
The classes for 'VariantSpecLoaderHelper' are not present in the Windchill installation and I do have license and I am able to manually create Variant Specification in the system.
Can you help me to resolve this issue?

What do you mean by  'VariantSpecLoaderHelper' are not present in the Windchill installation .

What error are you getting 

[Lukasz1]

I've seen the Loading Loading Variant Specifications Using an API , but I cannot find the corresponding helper method which is used in the snipped.

VariantSpecLoaderHelper.service.loadVariantSpecs(beans, partConfigSpecBeans, atoConfigSpecBeans);

 Can you help me find it?

It is exactly what I need, but I am missing the library (.jar) where the class (VariantSpecLoaderHelper) can be found. 

Can you help me to find it?

Hi @Lukasz1 

You have to add the library from the Windchill installation to your IDE

here is example of my configuration in inteliJIdea

PS:: I don't have Windchill installation on my IDE client. I have just a copy of the needed libraries from the Windchill structure of the correct version.

The knowledgeable base says there is no supported API to do this:
