Max Search Results = 50

[ScottPearson]

Hello WC Gurus,

Here's a newbie question for you.

When I search for Users on the Participant Admistration page, my results are limited to 50 results/users. I would like to increase my results to 100 users -- which should sufficient to allow me to list all my users.

From the WC 10.0Basic Admin Guide (Ch.8, p.233), I see that the limit of the search result is controlled by a property named Max Count found in the wt.properties file. The default value is 50.

From Windchill 10.0 Specialized Admin Guide (Ch. 3, p.33), here iswhat I have been trying -- without success --in order to

[Note: The double-quotes are because my Intralink 10.0 is on a Windows SQL server and double-quotes are required per the WC 10.0 Specialized Admin Guide, Ch. 3, p.42, because of the space contained in the property name.]

Since xconfmanger did not find the Max Count property, I tried listing ALL the properties in the wt.properties file by using this command:

windchill properties wt.properties

But that result alsodid not list a property named Max Count.

And FYI,this is how I intend to

QUESTION: Can anybody tell me the exact command syntax for changing my search result limit from the default (50) to a custom value (100)?

Any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Scott

Simply open codebase/wt.properties in your favorite text editor and look at the values.

In Windchill 9.1 to change a property with xconfmanager the syntax would be this:
xconfmanager -s wt.calendar.calculateDefaults=false -t codebase/wt.properties -p

-s PropertyName=NewValue
-t NameOfPropertyFile
-p (to propagate the changes just made)

xconfmanager actually writes to the <windchill install=" dir=">/site.xconf file. Without the -p the
changes just made to the site.xconf file won't actually get propogated to the property files. You
can actually change several values and then propogate the changes like this:

xconfmanager -s Property1=Value1 -t codebase/wt.properties
xconfmanager -s Property2=Value2 -t codebase/wt.properties
xconfmanager -s Property3=Value3 -t codebase/wt.properties
xconfmanager -p

This will speed up the process a little because the actual propogation sometimes takes a little bit.
