OIR - Numbering Logic

[Amirtharaj_K]

Hi Guys,

I want to know if we can merge the attribute values to create a single attribute.

For example, I created a WT part. 

I filled out the attribute number 8989, created and added the customer number attribute in WT, and selected it from the drop-down list. I also manually entered the project number for one more attribute. Everything I get into the Number attribute. Is it possible to do it through OIR?

Regards,

Aj

Take a look at this article, which covers a lot of OIR settings

Article - CS172537 - [Knowledge Hub] Windchill PLM - Object Initialization Rules (OIRs) (ptc.com)

Hi @Amirtharaj_K 

You can use something like this:

<!--  set the name to File Name   --> 
<AttrValue id="name" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator">
<Attr id="number"/>
</AttrValue>

<AttrConstraint id="name" algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints">
<Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerAssignedConstraint"/>
<Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetImmutableConstraint"/>
</AttrConstraint>

Do not forget that the rename operation does not apply the OIR rules.. If someone rename the object where a Number is changed., The name is not automatically changed. 

During the rename operation OIR rule is not applied.

Could you describe your use case a little more?

Are you using a generated Number, and then you want the Name to match, or something else?

Hi,

What is your Business Requirement? 

1. Do you want the number to be Auto-generated with prefix as intended (Project no+ Customer no+Auto Generated No...etc) ?

2. And then the Part Name should match this?

For the Req 1, it will be a customization

For Req 2,  its what the OIR can do (hence no code).

Cheers
