How to set OOTB Part Attributes, Version & Iteration, using java code (Windchill API's) ?

Hello,

I have created a WTPart using Java code + Windchill API's. There are setter methods available for setting some attribute like Name, Number, Type, Source etc.

Is there any method / API to set the Version and Iteration of the created part through code ? Can I set the values of Version and Iteration to be say, C and 5 directly ? Or creating a default Part of A.1 and revising / checking out is the only option ?

It would be really helpful if someone could help me with Windchill API's / Code snippets to set Part Version / Iteration OR Revise / Check out a part till the desired Version / Iteration is reached.

    Yes, it is possible to load objects out of sequence. For setting the version one can use VersionControlSErverHerlper API's as shown below.

    VersionIdentifier vid = VersionIdentifier.newVersionIdentifier();

    VersionControlServerHelper.setVersionIdentifier(the_versioned, vid, false /* validateIncreasing */);

    Similarly for iteration one can use IterationIdentifier API's. As shown below

    IterationIdentifier iid = IterationIdentifier.newIterationIdentifier();

    VersionControlHelper.setIterationIdentifier(the_iterated, iid);

    A detailed code snippet can be found at <WT_HOME>\src\com\wt\doc\LoadDoc.java
