Associate WTPart with EPMDocument

Hi, My goal now is to create a EPMDocument in a Workspace with associated WTPart by REST APIs 
What I plant to do: 
Step1: Create a EPMDocument in Workspace

API: Windchill/servlet/rest/v1/wgm/workspaces/{workspaceId}/store
=> Done
Step2: Create a WTPart

API: Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts
=> Error here
My body:

{
    "Name":"testToday",
    "AssemblyMode": {
      "Value": "separable",
      "Display": "Separable"
    },
    "PhantomManufacturingPart" : false,
    "Organization@odata.bind": "Groups('OR:wt.org.WTOrganization:123')",
    "Context@odata.bind": "Containers('OR:wt.inf.library.WTLibrary:123')"
}
Error
{
    "error": {
        "code": null,
        "message": "The wcType: com.ptc.ElectricalPart is invalid"
    }
}

Step3: Create Association

API: Windchill/servlet/rest/v1/wtparts/{WTPart}/associations/to/documents


Does anyone have faced with similar error in step2? Please help me to fix. Thank so much !

My bad, indeed the article is PTC INTERNAL,.

The article suggest one of the below  2 options :

  1. import com.ptc.ElectricalPart type from Out-Of-The-Box Windchill into affected environment using LoadFromFile framework
  2. Delete the Windchill REST Services configuration files for Electrical Part
../Windchill/codebase/rest/ptc/domain/ProdMgmt/v5/entity/ElectricalParts.json
../Windchill/codebase/rest/ptc/domain/ProdMgmt/v4/entity/ElectricalParts.json
../Windchill/codebase/rest/ptc/domain/ProdMgmt/v3/entity/ElectricalParts.json
../Windchill/codebase/rest/ptc/domain/ProdMgmt/v2/entity/ElectricalParts.json
../Windchill/codebase/rest/ptc/domain/ProdMgmt/v1/entity/ElectricalParts.json

    Your error message applies to step 2 only, so let's look at that and ignore your other steps for a moment.

     

    Look in your 'Type and Attribute Management' under Site Utilities. Have you defined com.ptc.ElectricalPart? Are you able to create a part with this type by using the Windchill 'New Part' UI?

     

    In the Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts API, can you do a GET and see the com.ptc.ElectricalPart that you created?
