Mass rename in PDMLink 9.1

Klaus,

I'd do this with either Java or better yet an info*engine task composed of a fewwebjects.

If you are unfamilar with webjects let me know and I can help you with this.

the task should be composed of:

the following webjects types

Start-Session

Start-Transaction

Change-Identity (this does the renaming) this webject will find the objects based on type and where clause and also rename

Commit-Transation (this commits the renaming to the dB)

End-Session

If you are renaming all objects to same name the new name would be hardcoded into the Change-Idenity webject. If not, a little Java code can take care of this as long as there is logic to determine the new name.

Let me know if you need any help.

David

Does anyone have an idea how to do a mass rename in PDMLink 9.1. For example rename all CAD Objects in specific folder.

Thank's and regards

Hi

I guess depending on the nature of the change, you could add those objects in your WS and do a mass rename there.

There is a functionality to apply the same rule to all selected objects.

Again it depends on how you want to mass rename.

Best regards
