Setting a default string value MBA / IBA attributes with OIR

[ccourreges]

Today, we can't apply default string value on MBA and IBA Date/String/... attributes with OIR because according to ptc, it's not compatible with GetServerPreGeneratedValue mode. (case 13297476)

<AttrValue id="ptsERP" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringConstant">

<Arg>12345</Arg>

</AttrValue>

Yes but our need is to display this default value with GetServerPreGeneratedValue mode and that doesn't work. Have you test this test case?

1. Add the following Object Initialization Rule to your type (wt.part.WTPart)

<AttrValue id="ptsERP" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringConstant">

<Arg>12345</Arg>

</AttrValue>

<AttrConstraint id="ptsERP" algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints">

   <Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerPreGeneratedValue"/> 

</AttrConstraint>

2. Edit the following  %WT_HOME%\codebase\com\ptc\core\rule\server\delegate\init\RuleConfigurableTypeAttribute.properties.xconf:

   <Property name="wt.part.WTPart" default="number,name,ptsERP,lifeCycle,lifeCycle.id,teamTemplate,teamTemplate.id,folder.id,organization.id"/>

3. Run "xconfmanager -pF" in Windchill Shell and restart Windchill
