Question

Are you concerned of past published views after a rename?

Just like the title says.  If you rename a drawing where it has the file name shown, are you concerned about the published view of the past versions?

If you set publish.republishonepmdocumentchange to true then renaming an epmdocument will republish ALL versions/iterations.

As far as I know a change is not a Rename.

From the Windchill properties page:

publish.republishonepmdocumentchange Default Value: false
Synopsis: Republish when an EPMDocuments meta data changes
Description: When metadata on an EPMDocument is changed and the EPMDocument does not iterate, eg a lifecycle state change, the associated Representations will be updated. In certain cases, eg where the CAD file on the EMPDocument has an association to that metadata, it may be desirable to Republish the Representation rather than just updating it.

Meta data changes include: rename, renumber

It doesn't seem like anyone is concerned with this and that I am overly-concerned.
