Upgrade rbinfo files

I am in the process of upgrading from Windchill 10.0m040 to Windchill 11.0m030.

I have some customized rbinfo files in my wtCustom folder which I have copied over to the WC11 install structure.

Do I need to run resourcebuild on these files before I do UpgradeManager or will the UpgradeManager find these and build them into my final WC11 system?

 

If I need to run resourcebuild first, can somone provide me the proper syntax for building StateRB.rbinfo which is in the <loadpoint>/wtCustom/wt/lifecycle folder into the OOTB WC11 install.

 

Thanks

  • When I did my upgrade from 10.2 M030 to 11.0 F000 I did the following
  1. copied the wtCustom folder from 10.2 to 11.0
  2. manually ran the ant scripts as follows
    • cd /opt/ptc/Windchill/Windchill
      ant -f ./bin/tools.xml bundle_custom -Dbundle.input=registry
      ant -f ./codebase/MakeJar.xml custUpdate

    Didn't work for me 😞

     

    Opened a Windchill shell command window, folder is e:\ptc\wc_11\Windchill

    Entered: ant -f bin/tools.xml bundle_custom -Dbundle.input=registry

    Error message that Build.xml cannot be found.

    I also tried it with: ant -f ./bin/tools.xml bundle_custom -Dbundle.input=registry

    and same results.

    Interesting error message. You should have gotten "bin/tools.xml does not exist".  You will get the error message you got when not specifying the -f argument.

     

    This is what I get when supplying a non existent file with the -f argument:

    root@wct03:/opt/ptc/Windchill/Windchill# ant -f bin/NoSuch.xml
    Buildfile: bin/NoSuch.xml does not exist!
    Build failed
    root@wct03:/opt/ptc/Windchill/Windchill#

     

    This is what I get when not specifying the -f and there is no build.xml in the current directory:

    root@wct03:/opt/ptc/Windchill/Windchill# ant
    Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
    Build failed
    root@wct03:/opt/ptc/Windchill/Windchill#
