Re: LoadFromFile : ACL rules loading error

VincentSion · ‎Oct 13, 2011

Hello,

In my Windchill configuration (9.1M060), I have only 1 site and 1 organization.

I want to load some ACL for my organization directly in command line with the LoadFromFile command within a WindchillShell.

First step

Create the XML file csv file with the CSV2XML utility : it's ok.

Following, a sample of the xml file created

<?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM "standardX10.dtd">
<NmLoader>
<csvAccessRule handler="wt.load.LoadUser.createAccessRule" >
 <csvuser>wcadmin</csvuser>
 <csvdomain>/Default</csvdomain>
 <csvtypeId>wt.epm.EPMDocument</csvtypeId>
 <csvpermission>+</csvpermission>
 <csvprincipal>MEMBERS</csvprincipal>
 <csvpermissionList>7/15</csvpermissionList>
 <csvstate>OBSOLETE</csvstate>
</csvAccessRule>
</NmLoader>

Second Step

Load the rules

From a windchill shell, i launch the folowing command :

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d D:\ptc\Windchill\src\loadFiles\CDA_LoaderACL.xml -u <pwd> -p <pwd>

So, I obtain the error :

Principal "MEMBERS" not found.
Méthode de chargement wt.load.LoadUser. createAccessRule a signalé une erreur.
Aucun objet n'a été importé en raison d'une erreur.
Problème inattendu lors de l'exportation/importation.
Exception imbriquée: wt.util.WTException: Méthode de chargement wt.load.LoadUser. createAccessRule a signalé une erreur. E
data file = <D:\ptc\Windchill\src\loadFiles\CDA_LoaderACL.xml,D:\ptc\Windchill\src\loadFiles\CDA_LoaderACL.xml>
map file = <null,null>
token separator = <null,null>
method = <null,create>
user = <null>
Command line = <{}>
Problème inattendu lors de l'exportation/importation.
Exception imbriquΘeá: wt.util.WTException: Méthode de chargement wt.load.LoadUser. createAccessRule a signalé une erreur.

I don''t undestand the first message concerning MEMBERS : the key MEMBERS exist in the file RoleRB.RB.ser

I have open a PTC call the 11th-Oct-2011. No answer today.

I hope for better luck with the forum.

Thanks for your help

I don't think there's a site level principal (group) named MEMBERS. Look in the loadfiles and loadxmlfiles directories. loadfiles/ddl/VariantSpecACL.xml, for example. Under AccessControlRule, there's a WTPrincipalReference entry.

Hi Matthew,

I tried VariantSpec example and I am getting the following errors:

D:\ptc\Windchill_10.1\Windchill>windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d "D:\ptc\Windch
ill_10.1\Windchill\loadFiles\Option Manager.xml" -CONT_PATH/

D:\ptc\Windchill_10.1\Windchill>windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d "D:\ptc\Windch
ill_10.1\Windchill\loadFiles\Option Manager.xml -CONT_PATH/"
Data file not readable "D:\ptc\Windchill_10.1\Windchill\loadFiles\Option Manager
.xml -CONT_PATH/". Error loading data from file.
data file = <D:\ptc\Windchill_10.1\Windchill\loadFiles\Option Manager.xml -CONT_
PATH/,null>
map file = <null,null>

Command line = <{}>
Data file not readable "D:\ptc\Windchill_10.1\Windchill\loadFiles\Option Manager

D:\ptc\Windchill_10.1\Windchill>

Can you enlighten?

Hi Vincent,

Please try the following,

<?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM standardX10.dtd>

<csvuser>wcadmin</csvuser>

<csvdomain>/Default</csvdomain>

<csvtypeId>wt.epm.EPMDocument</csvtypeId>

<csvprincipal>teamMembers</csvprincipal>

<csvstate>OBSOLETE</csvstate>

</csvAccessRule>

</NmLoader>

also, Please load the ACL against of any context (Product or Library).

The below you can try it as .xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Rule>

<domainName>/Default</domainName>

<externalTypeId>wt.epm.EPMDocument</externalTypeId>

<lifecycleState>OBSOLETE</lifecycleState>

<groupName>teamMembers</groupName>

<groupType>teamMembers</groupType>

</WTPrincipalReference>

</AccessPermissionSet>

</grantPermissionSet>

</AccessControlRule>

</Rule>

this will also work for you.

ptc-4698385 · ‎Mar 04, 2013

rmk · ‎Mar 04, 2013

Hi Sweta,

I have tested the following code for a test product, it works great.

My WC is 10.1 M20.

1. Please paste the following code as xml file

<?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM "standardX20.dtd">

<csvdomain>/Default</csvdomain>

<csvtypeId>WCTYPE|wt.fc.WTObject</csvtypeId>

<csvprincipal>MEMBERS</csvprincipal>

<csvstate>OBSOLETE</csvstate>

</csvAccessRule>

</NmLoader>

2. Place the file under %wt_home%\loadFiles\testing

3. Run the command.

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d %wt_home%\loadFiles\testing\test_acl.xml -CONT_PATH \"/wt.inf.container.OrgContainer=MDT_Test/wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct=Product_101\"

i tested the above code, it work fine.Please attach the log file.

in case any issue, please drop a call.

Hi MKR,

I tried this code..It worked fine..However I was looking for creating ACLs at the Organization level. So for that I am trying

to load using this command:

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d %wt_home%\loadFiles\testing\test_acl.xml -CONT_PATH \"/wt.inf.container.OrgContainer=MDT_Test"

using the same XML...

But its is throwing this error : MEMBERS not found. Kindly guide.

Hello,

The error Principal "MEMBERS" not found is known issue and the workaround exist with a shared team.

Create the share team on org lvl with the roles for which you would like to load the ACL.

use the <csvAccessRule handler="wt.load.LoadUser.createAccessRule" >.

If the share team exist the roles are found and ACL are loaded on org lvl.

Best Regards

Petr Helesic.

It is not working for a particular role say" Author" or "Option Engineer"
