I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.1.0
I have a general question on the opportunity to execute a Build process on migrated data. Please look at the message below.
Here are the errors that I faced
During the migration process we execute at TRUMPF we migrate CAD Document data, WTParts and WTPartUsageLinks to create BOMs.
We also migrate EPMBuildRule links between CAD Documents and WTParts from CAD Document-Material links found in SAP.
To align with what can be done by the Workgroup Manager we execute a so-alled "Build process" on migrated data.
The main purpose of the Build is to create PartUsesOccurrences links related to CAD.
I have the following questions regarding the execution of the Build process on migrated data:
1) Is the Build process absolutely necessary on migrated data?
Do we need to create PartUsesOccurrences before opening the system to the end users to be able to work with the Workgroup Manager properly ?
2). If we still have to execute the Build process after data load we must know this process cannot create additional WTParts (only PartUsesOccurrences and optionnaly WTPartUsageLinks).
For now, I execute the Build process for a given assembly using the following Windchill API:
wt.build.MigrationBuildUtility buildUtility = new MigrationBuildUtility();
buildUtility.buildTargetsForSource(docList, confSpec);
docList object is handling the CAD Document assembly to process.
Is the API above the correct one to use to execute the Build process on migrated data?
