Issue with setting up representation from pre-converted files (CS36856)
I'm trying to setup the preview from pre-converted files.
We have a bunch of WTDocuments that is just a PDF - I wanted to use this as the representation.
I tried following the CS36856 guide.
I wrote in the windchill shell:
xconfmanager -t %WT_HOME%/codebase/WEB-INF/conf/wvs.properties -s "worker..PDF=DUMMY,preconverted=true" -p
where %WT_HOME% is the windchill directory.
The response was (omitted some of the mappings):
:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\Windchill\src\com\ptc\wvs\util>xconfmanager -t %WT_HOME%/codebase/WEB-INF/conf/wvs.properties -s "worker..PDF=DUMMY,preconverted=true" -p

Is the general output correct, i.e. all the mapping?
The "com.ptc.wvs.util.AfterEDRloader.verbose" was I trying to set when debugging our AfterEDRloader script. It can be deleted, but I do not know how.
