Add custom life cycle states

[cc-2]

Hello

I know it is possible to add in a xml (I think or another file type, but there is no UI for it I believe) file additional states the out of the box file does not provide.

I am looking for that file to add more states but can't find it. I am also interesting in procedures to add new life cycle states (editing one file may not be enough). I checked PTC Help and PTC University but could not find anything useful.

Hope one of you can help me.

Thanks

Best Regards

Take a look at Windchill Customizer?s Guide: Managing Customization. This
section explains how to use the enumCustomize tool to edit the
StateRB.rbInfo and rebuild jars with ant.

This is the process that I usually take....enumCustomize is ,probably the way you want to go:

- Open theWindchill Shell
- Type "enumCustomize"
- Browse to codebase/wt/lifecycle
- Choose StateRB.RB.ser
- Click New and enter Display Name, Key, and Desc(You can name them all the same if you like)
- Clcik "Selectable"
- Click Save
- Click Exit. When prompted "Exit without saving", Click Yes
- Compile files(cd to <wthome>\codebase from windchill shell &run 'ant -f MakeJar.xml')
- Restart Windchill
