Mapping rule for skip exporting/importing attributes using Import/Export Management in Windchill
We are migrating CAD Part (EPMDocument) form source to target system using Windchill Import/Export Management.
The attributes which are available on the source system are not available on the target system and we need to skip them while exporting/importing the CAD Part to get it imported successfully.
We have the option of export/import rules available to create mapping rules to skip the attributes.
Is there any mapping rules to avoid the attributes which are not available on the target system?
In the exported TAG-EPMDocument-0.xml, the attributes which needs to be skipped are available like this:
<businessField>
<businessFieldID>
<solution>WINDCHILL</solution>
<namespace>
<category>type</category>
<name>com.abc.DefaultEPMDocumentMaster</name>
</namespace>
<name>Attribute1</name>
</businessFieldID>
<datatype>java.lang.String</datatype>
</businessField>

Hi @PD_12915986
You can specify the import rules to ignore IBA parameters
here is the help Mapping Through Special Rules
Excluding a Reusable Attribute Value Named Price from a Reusable Attribute Holder Such As WTPart
<IGNORE_PARENT>
<tag>ibaPath</tag>
<path>WTPart</path>
<value>Price/iba</value>
</IGNORE_PARENT>
In the preceding example, if the following line were deleted, all parent elements in all XML files with <ibaPath>Price</ibaPath> would be excluded:
<path>WTPart</path>
Hope this can help
