Adding a new routing to Problem Report Workflow

[RajeshBalasunda]

Dear All,

We are currently using Pdmlink 8.0 M050. We would like to add another routing in the Problem Report workflow, for the Analyze Problem Report task. So I created this new routingand in the transition I added com.ptc.windchill.pdmlink.change.server.impl.WorkflowProcessHelper.processConfirmation((wt.change2.WTChangeIssue)primaryBusinessObject,wt.change2.ConfirmationCategory.RESOLVENOECR); after creating the resource info RESOLVENOECR in the ConfirmationCategory RBInfo file. Did a resource build on that. Tried to do a check syntax, and it failed. I then modified the ConfirmationCategory class file and added the required piece of information for the RESOLVENOECR, compiled and then checked the syntax. Itcompleted without any issues.

I then restarted windchill, after clearing all the cache, building all the jars, etc etc and I got lot of errors like, operation "lsit_list" failed, java lang null pointer exception....

Can anyoneguide methe right way to achieve this.

Regards,

Rajesh Balasundaram

Hi Rajesh Balasundaram,

I wonder if you got an answer for your problem yet. I have the same problem. The following is the way I added the new ConfirmationCategory:

1) windchill shell

2) enumCustomize

3) load in the codebase/wt/change2/ConfirmationCategoryRB.RB.Ser

4) added the custom ConfirmationCategory, in my case it's 'CLOSENOECR'

5) save and exit enumCustomize

6) stop windchill, tomcat

7) Rebuild the jar files: ant -f ./bin/tools.xml bundle_custom -Dbundle.input=registry

ant -f /codebase/MakeJar.xml custUpdate

😎 start tomcat, windchill

9) the system works fine, I then added this newrouting, I got the following syntax error:

Checking Syntax...
/u01/app/ptc/Windchill/tmp/WfExpression633725461.java:213: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable CLOSENOECR
location: class wt.change2.ConfirmationCategory

Syntax check complete.

Can anyone guide me the right way to achieve this.

I assume this will solve your issue:

com.ptc.windchill.pdmlink.change.server.impl.WorkflowProcessHelper.processConfirmation((wt.change2.WTChangeIssue)primaryBusinessObject,wt.change2.ConfirmationCategory.toConfirmationCategory("CLOSENOECR"));
