Windchill 9.1: How to configure Project "Name" as auto generated number.

[pshinde]

Hi All,

I have a requirement where the client wants Project "Name" field to be auto generated number.

Is this possible using configurations in 9.1 ? (i.e. via *.properties, *.xml, *.xconf Preference, OIR …etc)

<rulename>Project Name Rule</rulename>

<rulespecification>

<attributevalues objtype="wt.projmgmt.admin.Project2">

<attrvalue id="name" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator"> <arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator: Project_seq:08:0}</arg>

</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"/">
<value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetHiddenConstraint"/">
</attrconstraint>

</attributevalues>

Hello,

We had a similar request at our company. We solved this by creating a workflow that calls an info engine task, to define the latest number, and renamed the object in the workflow.

The object was created from a template and the name depends on the value of a couple of attributes together with a sequences numbering.

Kind regards,
