MPMLink required privilages

Hi.

 

I've started research associated with MPMLink implementation in our system but I ran immediately into an issue with privileges. I'd like to make it easier for the administrator to set the correct ones for me, therefore I wish to know which set of privileges allows full and partial access (with description) to MPMLink capabilities. 

 

I already have the MPMLink module license. 

 

a) I can create a downstream branch for an already existing Configurable Module part type, but:

 - "duplicate with/without propagating" options result only in the configurable module duplication anyway. I have to add subassemblies (WTParts) manually.

b) I can not create a downstream branch for any WTPart, even if it's under a Configurable Module part. Trying to do that results in an error

c) I can not change the structure of WTPart on manufacturing side, resulting with this error:

I'm following the video by David Martin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC-Nt2pT_rg&t=1241s

 

Kind regards,

Tom

Hi @TomM_505361 

I can see that WTparts are in a Released state so you do not have rights to modify it. It is ok.

If you need to crate new downstream branch you need to have rights to revise the Released wtpart and also the Released state needs revise transition in Lifecycle definition. 

 

So first you need access to crate new view for Released objects and I guess also revise. I would recommend to cooperate with Windchill administrator to play with ACLs.

Hi @TomM_505361 

It is usually connected with ACLs. You need to have privilege to revise , create new view version and modify the WTPart for specific state.

Try to create Manufacturing WTPart in a folder system and check access on it. If you do not access to do so you need to define ACL in Policy Administration.

 

Additionally: A LifeCycle state also needs to be defined with Revise transition to create a Downstream branch in the transform browser with a duplicate with propagation.

Hi,

thanks for your reply!


When I create a part with a view set to manufacturing I have a full access in its action control.

However when I choose any WTPart i get these privileges:

Could you elaborate a little further on the LifeCycle state definition, please?

 

Edit:

Here is a detailed view:

Which access controls should be available to me in order to perform all of the necessary eBOM->mBOM transformations?
