Question

Is There a Way of extracting an EPM Doc Version into a Post Publish Parameter Set?

I am trying to create a Windchill publish rule for generating a PDF document from a Creo drawing. Our CAD Worker by default creates .plt viewables, and I have written a Publish Rule that uses the "additional-files" option to also generate a pdf file when the Creo drawing is checked in. So far, so good!

However step two is to include a post publish action in the rule that creates a WTDocument with the PDF file attached to it. This does work using the DefaultPostPublishDelegate option, but here is the bit I can't do...

I would like the name of my WTDocument to include the EPM Documents number and the EPM Document version. There only seems to be substitution key for the EPM Document number {EPM_NUMBER}, there doesn't seem to be a key for {EPM VERSION}.

Does anybody have any neat tricks or ideas on how I could achieve this?

Is there some way of triggering a process after the WTDocument is created to do a rename?

Can it be fixed using Object Initialization Rules?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    It is definitely possible if you extend the post publish delegate and create WTDocument in that delegate. 

     

    So basically customization.

    Ok so I have done that however I do not know what to put in the name or number parameters to get the version of the CAD added to the EPM_NAME

    <param-set name="Create Illustration source from CAD">
<post-publish name="delegate">com.ptc.wvs.server.publish.EPMPostPublishDelegate</post-publish>
<post-publish name="type">wt.epm.EPMDocument|com.Nordco.DefaultEPMDocument</post-publish>
<post-publish name="name">{EPM_NAME}</post-publish>
<post-publish name="number">{EPM_NAME}</post-publish>
<post-publish name="viewable-compression">false</post-publish>
<post-publish name="published-content-link">True</post-publish>
<post-publish name="folder">/Technical Publications</post-publish>
</param-set>
