How to establish configurable link between a document(any) and EPM document in Windchill?

[ptc-6503834]

Hi all,

Please suggest something to establish configurable link. I need to develop a logic where while while creatibng a document system should do a check whether document number is matching with EPM document( say CAD/PRO-E drwaing) or not.

Thanks.

Seems not the subject of Configurable Links but instead custom listener?!

You could also have a wtdocument soft type with a custom workflow do this.

• Create a soft type of wtdocument
• Create a custom lifecycle for this wtdocument type
• Create a custom workflow that creates the configurable link if needed
• "Hook" this workflow to "Phase Process" of one of the States of the custom life cycle.

There are multiple posts on how to do this.

The drawback to this approach is this only works if the document creator chooses this type of document when creating the document.
