Has anybody used the StringRegExEqualsTest rule algorithm in Windchill? I need to set up a complex set of rules that will create a part in different folders based on the first part of the part number. I was looking to see if I can use something already ootb rather than write my own rule algorithm. I am using Windchill 9.1.
Hi Theresa,
i have did something similiar to Number field based on the discrete set value selection in an IBA field.
on Choice of Value 1 and Value 2, system will generate the number with prefix.
following code is used for the same.
<VarDef id="metal" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator" >
<Arg>METAL-PART-</Arg>
<Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:GUS_PARTREQUESTMETALID_seq:10:0}</Arg>
</VarDef>
<VarDef id="resin" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator" >
<Arg>RESIN-PART-</Arg>
<Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:GUS_PARTREQUESTRESINID_seq:10:0}</Arg>
</VarDef>
<VarDef id="default" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator" >
<Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:WTPARTID_seq:10:0}</Arg>
</VarDef>
<AttrValue id="number" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator">
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.CaseBranch">
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.EqualsTest">
<Attr id="IBA|gus_commodityparttype"/>
<Arg>Metal</Arg>
</Value>
<VarRef id="metal"/>
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.EqualsTest">
<Attr id="IBA|gus_commodityparttype"/>
<Arg>Resin</Arg>
</Value>
<VarRef id="resin"/>
<VarRef id="default"/>
</Value>
</AttrValue>

Thanks for the response. Through some experimentation I was able to create an algorithm that works:
<AttrValue id="folder.id" algorithm="com.ptc.core.foundation.folder.server.impl.FolderPathAttributeAlgorithm">
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.CaseBranch">
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringRegExEqualsTest">
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.Substring">
<Attr id="number"/>
<Arg>0</Arg>
<Arg>1</Arg>
</Value>
<Arg>[0-4\.]</Arg>
</Value>
<Arg>/Default/0 - 4</Arg>
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringRegExEqualsTest">
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.Substring">
<Attr id="number"/>
<Arg>0</Arg>
<Arg>1</Arg>
</Value>
<Arg>[5-9]</Arg>
</Value>
<Arg>/Default/5 - 9</Arg>
. . .
<Arg>/Default</Arg>
</Value>
</AttrValue>
Hello Ramanathan,
I am trying to use this logic to assign the number for a Creo part based on an IBA. But it is not working. Any tips?
What was the object type on which you applied this OIR?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Naveen
I applied this OIR to a Part.
