How to generate Downstream Part Thumbnail

[YH_10333800]

Hello.

If Downstream is created using OOTB's BOM Transformer, Thumbnail is created in the Downstream Part, but if it is created in Java using the Windchill API, Thumbnail is not created.

Create a Downstream Part using the Windchill new BranchForView API.

When you create a Downstream Part, the thumbnail of the part created is not visible.

Upstream Part has Thumbnail.
I'm looking for a way to make the Downstream Part show Thumbnail.

A little bit of information is good, so please share it.

Thank you in advance.

Are you using something like below to create the EQL bnetween EBOM/MBOM : 

EquivalenceLink link1 = EquivalenceLink.newEquivalenceLink(part,mPart);
link1.setIsConsumable(true);
link1.setUpstreamContextRef(part.getView());
link1.setDownstreamContextRef(mPart.getView());
link1 = (EquivalenceLink) PersistenceHelper.manager.save(link1);

That's right.

After creating Downstream with new BranchForView, we are doing equivalenceLink between objects with equivalenceLink.

I can't see the thumbnail even if I connect the equivalence Link

Can you enable below loggers to TRACE and share the logs as transformation is done from UI and API to compare .
