How to change Type of EPMDocument type in batch mode?

[MartinStLo]

As per the original post. 

Hello,
I am struggling with the authentication to avoid the  PopUp ( https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS63015)
can you share how you push the --javaargs to make it works? Are you on UNIX/Linux server because the article mention that is limited to UNIX/Linux but at the same time in the note they also mention Windows... Our OS is windows so maybe this is the reason its not working.

Hi Martin,

I'm running Windchill on Windows Server 2013. Here is the batch file that I made for changing types of EPMDocs:

:: Changes EPMDoc type in Windchill for files listed in the .csv

@echo OFF

:: Set the encoding to UTF-8 so special characters (Ä,Ö,Å..) work
chcp 65001

:: Ask for login info
set /p USER=Username?
set /p PASSWORD=Password?

:: Ask for the target type
set /p TARGET_TYPE=Target type?

:: Set csv file name variable
SET csvfile=%1

:: Loop through the csv and execute the SoftTypeChangeUtility for each file listed in the csv

FOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=1 DELIMS=," %%a in ("%csvfile%") DO (

windchill --javaargs="-Dcom.ptc.net.auth.user=%USER% -Dcom.ptc.net.auth.password=%PASSWORD%" wt.epm.util.SoftTypeChangeUtility "%%~a" "%TARGET_TYPE%"
)

This uses a .csv file (comma-separated) which lists all the filenames of the objects that need to be changed.
