"As stored" option in windchill?

Is there an "As stored" option in Windchill like there was in Intralink? I need one. We did not do a baseline, and something happened to a top-down model reference. I'd like to go back and fix it easily if possible.

Thanks.

Ok, answered myy own question: Yes, but you have to dig for it in the advanced "add to workspace, as it's TOTALLY buried as a "filter". do an "Edit Filter" and you can "Choose a Type:" Choose "As Stored" and add it to the "To Be Applie" window.

Way more difficult than Intralink..............

Ok, so, I'm trying to go back to an earlier version, and Windchill WILL NOT let me add anythign bu the "Latest" to my Workspace. Not happy, I believe I SHOULD be able to open earlier versions, so I can look at and see if I need to delete the lates. What the??????? Great functionality............not.....

Hello Franck,

what is your windchill version ?

Normally, As Stored should work, not really as Intralink does (only suppositions fromcolleagues, I never used Ilink by myself ), notably for drawings if you collect from an assembly ...

If drawings were not checked in at the same time as your CAD assy, the windchill collector will not collect them, cause they are not in the "as stored baseline" ...

and I remember that in some case , the Intralink to Windchill migrator do not the job for as stored baselines ...

please find a SQL query ... it list caddocs present in the as stored baseline from a top assy. may be the baseline does not exist anymore ....

An EPMDoc iteration can only have one "OWNER" as stored baseline, even if this iteration can be in several as stored baseline (all its used by assemblies, or drawings ...)

select epmm.DOCUMENTNUMBER, epm.VERSIONIDA2VERSIONINFO, epm.ITERATIONIDA2ITERATIONINFO, epm.ida2a2,lnk.IDA3A5,lnk.OWNER

from EPMDocumentMaster epmm, EPMDocument epm, EPMAsStoredMember lnk,EPMAsStoredConfig cnf

where epm.IDA3MASTERREFERENCE = epmm.IDA2A2

and epm.ida2a2 = lnk.IDA3B5

and lnk.IDA3A5 = cnf.IDA2A2

and cnf.IDA2A2 in (select cnf2.IDA2A2

from EPMAsStoredConfig cnf2,EPMAsStoredMember lnk2,EPMDocumentMaster epmm2, EPMDocument epm2

where cnf2.IDA2A2 = lnk2.IDA3A5

and lnk2.owner = '1'

and lnk2.IDA3B5 = epm2.ida2a2

and epm2.IDA3MASTERREFERENCE = epmm2.IDA2A2

and epmm2.DOCUMENTNUMBER = 'BID0008DA.DRW' // EPMDoc number

and epm2.VERSIONIDA2VERSIONINFO = '1' // EPMDoc version

and epm2.ITERATIONIDA2ITERATIONINFO = '2'); // EPMDoc iteration

regards

Gregory

Hey Gregory. Thanks for the reply, I'm using 10. I managed to solve the problem another way because I couldn't get it to work right. Intralink didn't need "baselines" to retrieve "as stored", and since this is a preliminary design, I hadn't bothered doing a baseline. we only do that for approved revisions.

I'm not given the power to really do anything in windchill like that, the admins in corporate have it all locked down, but I'll pass that on. Thanks again!
