Workflow Task Differences Between 9.1 and 10.2

[BenPerry]

Group,
This might be the first in several questions I might have about Windchill 10.2. I am not getting the expected answer from PTC Support on these topics.

Firstly, I see that the workflow task name include a reference to the actual workflow template name now in 10.2. This is unnecessary and causes clutter. I have an open PTC ticket for this, and it seems like it is a site customization to remove it back out of the workflow task name.

What are your thoughts about this? Can it be done without customization?

1. Paste the file "WorkItemDisplayIdentificationDelegate.java" that is attached to this email into <wt_home>\src\wt\workflow\work\
2. Open the file in editor and do the required changes like instead of processName = process.getName(); use processName = "; .
3. Save the file.
4. Now open a windchill shell and run the following
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.\srclib\tool\Annotations.jar;.\srclib\tool\AnnotationProcessing.jar
javac -d ./codebase src/wt/workflow/work/WorkItemDisplayIdentificationDelegate.java
The above commands will create .class file in <wt_home>\codebase\wt\workflow\work directory. Check the time stamp for recently compiled file.
5. Now restart the MS and display a task.

Seems like EVERYONE I come in contact would like a simple way to disable this – maybe PTC could come up with a simpler one.

note – At Alcon, we included this customization as part of the upgrade from 9.1 to 10.1. It was one of the first things we noticed in a test Windchill 10.0 install and complained about to PTC. It took a while for PTC to provide the customization.

Please see attached for ref – I’m methodically documenting a lot of these things for myself.
