Change object templates import/export

[nmudigere]

Hi

We have Change object templates in one of our windchill 10 instance And we need to export and import into another instance of windchill 10. We found the option for exporting and did not find aything to import. Any help would be great

Thanks,

Hey Naveen,

Are you referring to a workflow template?

• If so, you might want to check for the JAR or ZIP file in your downloads folders (set by browser preference)
• Also try using a different browser or ensure that pop-ups are allowed on this page
• To make sure a WF is selected to be exported try using the right click menu to export

If this is not your issue could you share more details about what template you are exporting and what you are using to export it?

Thanks,

Jarrett

Hello Jarrett,

Thanks for your reply, We are not looking for any Workflow templates import/Export.

We have something called change object templates under Organization -->Templates which we need to import/Export.

When we exported as above we found 20+ xml files in the jar. And we did not find any option to import and have no idea the order in which to load it through loadFromFile Utility as the jar has too many xml files

Thanks,

Hi Naveen,

I don't have answer for this.But can you tell me how can I enable 'Change Object Templates' in Templates

table? I cannot see that in my windchill.Any preference needs to be added to view this in that table?

Hi Vigneshwaran,

Change Object templates are new to Windchill 10.2.

Hi Naveen,

You may be able to use the Import Manager to import the exported template. However, please note that the exported data includes objectid info in the XML file that may need to be updated:

<ObjectID>

<localId>wt.change2.WTChangeOrder2:220637</localId>

<ufid>wt.change2.WTChangeOrder2:220637|190627845-1390363177908-1359257318-154-83-253-132|platx24m10.ptcts.com</ufid>

</ObjectID>

<objectContainerPath>/</objectContainerPath>

<organizationId> ((null))</organizationId>

<organizationName>ptc</organizationName>

<number>0000000028</number>

<masterUfid>wt.change2.WTChangeOrder2Master:220633|190627845-1390363177908-1359257318-154-83-253-132|platx24m10.ptcts.com</masterUfid>

<name>Test Change Object Template 2</name>

Thanks for that Lori Lee Sood. I have Windchill 10.0

Thanks for your reply Lori...But where do we get the obectid. Do we need to create Changenotice object?

Hi Naveen,

The info I pasted into my reply is from the TAG-XXXXX-#.xml file that was in the zip file generated when I exported the template from Windchill. The object ID info comes from the info stored in the database for the template getting exported.

Regards,

Lori

Thnks for all your suggestions Lori..

We were able to successfully import/export change object templates by modifying host names under <ufid>and <masterUfid> tags in the extracted .xml files.
