Meaning of seeds and targets for PromotionNotice

The MaturityServices provides methods to handle targets and seeds. Can someone explain the difference between both targets and seeds ?

 

In the Windchill GUI, I can only Promotion Objects are linked.

Best answer by JeffZemsky

Seeds are the items you initially select, say in Folders or Search, to create a new Promotion Request from.  They are the starting data that is in the Promotion Request before any collection is applied

 

Target are they the items selected to be Promoted (with an appropriate state).  The Promotion Request does not require one to change the state of all of the data - some can be for reference.

Hi ,

If I understand Correctly:

Target  = State

Seed = Version Series

 Two things you need to concentrate in Fundamentals of Windchill here:

 1. Lifecycle template : Basic LC template has States, Transitions and Version

**************" attached Screenshot"******************

2. Version Series

 

For StateBasedSeries scenario, you may want to create "SEED"

 

EnumCustomize


Start the enumCustomize utility from a Windchill shell with following command
enumCustomize


Navigate to wt > series > wt.series.SeriesRangeSelectorRB

 

Ensure that the Keys added, match the names of the seeds example (PROTOTYPE_VER, RELEASED_VER)  defined in StateBasedSeries.xml


Save and choose to rebuild the source

 

Rebuild Jars

 

Restart Server after clearing cache.

 

Cheers

Rahul

Hi Rahuls,

Thanks for your answer, but it is not correct. "Promotion Targets" are the objects (WTPart for example) that are handled by a Promotion notice.

Yes Correct

 

Promotion Targets = WTPart/WTDocument/EPMDocument

 

Target State = Destination LC State

 

SEED = Version Scheme
