Is it possible to mass create Problem Reports?

[LG_10096154]

We have some legacy PR's in another tool and would like to mass create them in PDMLink.

They have some data that is only used in the legacy system so when we create a new PR those attribute fields for that data are not available (so unless we change the PR object we cannot manually create legacy PR with that legacy data).

Can you post sample data so that we know what the data looks like.

without seeing your data I’ll still go out on a limb and say YES, not a problem to write a utility that can read data and create Problem Reports.

Hi @LG_10096154 

There are many ways how to achieve it.

You can use OOTB LoadFromFile function 

Here CS57369 is example how to use loadfrom file, in your case you use just ProblemReport 

csvmapfile.txt describes all supported method to load the data to a Windchill. Located for example in D:\Windchill_13.0\Windchill\loadFiles\

Another method is to write own custom function that read any type of input, xml, database, any source what you can read,  and you create exactly what you want in a Windchill.
