I have a java method that will send an email when dxf creation failes but how I can get the email address of the administrator configurated at Windchill ?

I hardcoded the email address now but it should be better if the java class does not need adaption when the administrator should ever change.

Best regards,

Bernard, Once you have the admin as a WTPrincipal object, you can use below lines to fetch emailAddress dynamically:

String adminEmailId = null;

if(WTUser.class.isAssignableFrom(admin.getClass())){

WTUser adminUser = (WTUser)admin;

adminEmailId = adminUser.getEMail();

}

Not sure if it helps any, but the administrator's email address is listed in the wt.properties file. Maybe you can either retrieve the property with Java or manually parse the file. (It's available anonymously from <windchill url>/Windchill/wt.properties)

Look for these properties:

wt.mail.from=

wt.org.principalAdministratorEmail=

wt.notify.notificationSenderEmail=

The wt.mail.from is the senders email address (WindchillAlerts@lvd.be), I was looking for the administrator that is configurated via Site/Administrators, see picture a litle further.

Another question would be which administrator(s) you want to contact.

For instance, in 10.2 (and maybe 10.1, I forget), the JMX-Administrators list is initially populated with the e-mail address entered at install time and this list can adjusted from that point to include more e-mail addresses.
