Question
Number/Item ID reservation possiblities in WNC
I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1
Is it possible to reserve the next Item ID in WNC?
The REST API documentation does not offer a method to get the next Number (at least I did not find any method). Thingworkx also does not provide an API that does support this.
This Stack Overflow article gives some hints on the implementation in WNC using InfoEngine: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35412452/how-to-get-sequence-number-in-windchill-through-api. It also suggests a work around: create a new part; take its number and then delete it. However, I think we should look for a better solution.
