File Based Series : Remove Delimiter and increase the depth for versioning

[aachanta]

Hi All,

I had created a series in this way as I had started a discussion regarding the same.

File Based Series : The series or seed is undefined

However I even wish to remove the delimiter say for suppose as upon revising or check out and check in it gets modified as V1.1 V1.2

So I dont want that delimter dot (.) to be there. I had seen the PTC Tech support portal for this and found few cases

Step 1.)

I went to wt.properties file and found the property. I made two modifications in wt.properties file

wt.series.HarvardSeries.delimiter=.

So I removed the dot and equaled it with nothing as

wt.series.HarvardSeries.delimiter=

Step 2.)

wt.series.HarvardSeries.depth=16

So I updated the depth as 99

wt.series.HarvardSeries.depth=99

But after this the method server failed starting which is showing an error like

2016-05-12 11:36:27,662 INFO  [main] wt.system.err Administrator - Error initializing wt.series.HarvardSeries

2016-05-12 11:36:27,701 INFO  [main] wt.system.err Administrator - java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0

So how to remove the delimiter for the custom_series class that I had created.

Thanks in advance. Kindly let me know

Thanks and Regards,

Hi All,

Can you please help me out like how to resolve this problem in delimiter.

Actually I had attached one more post to this particular query and I was in a position to create a new File Based Versioning Scheme. However if I wish to remove the delimiter like what should I be doing can you please let me know about it once ?

Thanks and Regards,

Archana,

I don’t know your exact business requirement to implement this. If your requirement is

1. Display only Revision and hide – check type and attribute managed layout and override the version
2. Display version by eliminating delimiter -  Use data utility to remove the delimiter and display version as A2 instead  of A.2

It always risk to play with versioning series.

Hope it helps!!!

Thanks
