Bulk deletion of attributes in windchill

[SS_10574885]

hi team,

There is a scenario I need to delete 75 attributes in windchil

This is tedious and can we have a bulk deletion loader or how can it be done through build deployment?

@HelesicPetr  can u guide on this or route to guide?

Hello @SS_10574885 

You can use load from file method.

Here is an article describing how to load attributes to the system. 

CS30168 - How to export and import soft types and attributes using 'LoadFromFile' in Windchill

If you import one attribute, and system contains additional attributes then the method generate XML file in a Windchill/temp folder for deletion the additional attributes.

You can use the load from file method to load the generated xml to delete the attributes.

Hi @HelesicPetr 

Approach you have suggested only delete the attribute created in type  Is it possible to delete the attribute created in Manage Reusable Attribute via LoadFromFile  ?

Hi @MS_9630520 

No, the load from file is not designed for delete objects generally. 

I do not se any reason for deleting global attributes. 

btw, you can write own utility to do so.
