Several releases ago, Windchill introduced the concept of “Flexible Links” that allows the network of Change Management objects to be configured based on the rules and practices of your company. Along with the introduction of this capability, a conversion tool has been provided that will migrate the existing “Legacy Links” to their corresponding “Associated Process” flexible link. The tool offers the ability to operate in a “Mixed Mode” so that the legacy objects can be completed in their workflows, or to operate in a “Full Flexible” mode by migrating all existing “Legacy Links” to their equivalent “Flexible Link”.

As we plan our next major Windchill release (estimated December 2021), we would like to eliminate the support for the “Legacy Links” completely. This would mean that all Change Management and Quality Management objects have been converted to the “Flexible Links” and the system is operating in a “Full Flexible” mode.

We'd like to hear from you. We are running a survey for the next through May 31st to get feedback on where you are with your journey to Flexible Change Associations.
