I was doing some cleanup and moving objects from a product area to a library. I noticed that the older iterations still show in the iteration history as being part of the original context. Is this normal? any reason for concern? I would assume that a moved would move the object and its history to the new context. I did choose to move All versions which was the default.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Well, that fixed it. I moved it to a third context it all updated. Perhaps the move command does not change context if I was just moving folders. when I moved to a new context, all previous iterations were fixed. I think I can clean this up. @Fadel, I am going to chalk this up to a very old installation of Windchill. We started life on PDMLink 7 so this could have been an issue from back then. I can use your QML to find them and clean them up.
Does Windu task DetectMasterWithDifferentContextDT reports any potential error ?
what option has been chosen when moving objects
Versions were moved and I did have All version checked. I ran DetectMasterWithDifferentContextDT and it return 0 issues. Here is what I see:
Its not the versions, its the iterations that show with the old context. Is this normal? I can purge them but I would have expected in a Move, that all iterations would be updated.
Would share the result of below QMl run with the give EPM number
Domain reference is the same but not Context. Same cad file as image above.
@avillanueva , you should open a call @ Technical Support , we need R&D involved , this a data corruption ,something went wrong during the move
Hi @avillanueva
The answer is no. It is not normal.
I test it from detail page of CAD Document and also WTPart separately.
Windchill 12.0.2.7
I would say that you could accidently move just one iteration but as you said, you checked the All option >D.

I just moved that item again to a different folder. Same options, all version. Remember, there is not an option for all iterations but we assume they go along for the ride. Look at the breadcrumbs. If I select on those folder links, the do in fact go to the General Parts Library. Very odd. Wonder if I have to move to a new context then back to clean it up?

Hi @avillanueva
Good point this can be the case,
if you move the folder from a context to an another then it just changes the folder context and the latest objects context.

As I mentioned, it is not normal. If the version is moved, all iterations are moved to the destination normally.
I checked it again and try to move object several times with option All and the context is updated correctly.

Sounds weird to me.. like it didn't actually move all the versions.
If you open the info page for one of the old versions, what context does it show in the bread crumbs?
