Version: Windchill 12.1

 

Use Case: Dear All, In the Windchill 12.1.2.17 was possible to configure a fixed product and fixed folder path to create WTPart. I need that all WTPart will be stored automatically in one product context under specific path MyProduct -> /MaterialMasters/ElectronicComponents Can you help me to define it in OIR?

Thank you Enrico

I tried with this sintax but it doesn't work

<!-- FOLDER -->
<AttrValue id="folder.id" algorithm="com.ptc.core.foundation.folder.server.impl.FolderPathAttributeAlgorithm">
<Arg>MyProduct</Arg>
<Arg>/MaterialMasters/ElectronicComponents</Arg>
</AttrValue>


Thank you

I'm aware of what you're saying, but my requirement is to have users always create all WTParts in the same context and the same folder path, regardless of the context they are currently in.
We have more than 1,000 contexts and users do not have full access, which they instead have — and must have — on the master data context.
Thank you anyway for your answers.
