Exporting Global Organizers/Attributes

[pwilliams-3]

Is there a command line utility to export Global Organizers and Global Attribute definitions? I thought for sure that there was but I'm unable to find it.

You can export type,type attributes, are on along with the layout config. How to in help center. Not sure if this is what you need. Have to create a loadfile xml export rule.

Yea the command “windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile –D ExportDefinition.xml” won’t get me the definition of the global attribute definitions themselves.

wow, so sad to see this is a dead thread from 8 years ago. i would really like to export my full set of reusable (global) attributes to have as a backup and source of truth for unintended changes. i'll keep searching...

Not sure I follow the request.  Today Definition Exporter does get global enumerations associated with the object type being exported.  I just did this today between test and staging 11.2 environments.

You can also export Global Enumerations directly.

Matt, thank you so much for this feedback! I contacted PTC Technical Support yesterday and received the following answer of No: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS158353

I used your link and ran the export command to get exactly what I was looking for.

My Windchill system has some mismatches between ID and Logical_ID and it was impossible to validate all the attributes from the UI. Now I can post process the XML and cross reference the ID's in Excel.
