Hi everyone,

I created a new state in windchill trough Windchill Shell : enumCustomize.

I can find this new state in the advanced search.

But I can't find this in the list within the life cycle template administration.

Does somebody know what I did wrong?

Thanks in advance

Open Windchill shell and execute command: ant -f codebase\Makejar.xml

Thanks Sergey, but I already did this:

  1. Stop the Method Server
  2. Rebuild the client jars from Windchill Shell : ant -f codebase\MakeJar.xml custUpdate
  3. Restart Windchill

And the result is what I mentioned in my first post.

In 15 years dealing with Windchill I've seen this exact thing asked 10,000 times.  The how-to is all there from PTC but buried pretty deep.  Would be nice to have a simple and concise cheat sheet of the top maybe 20 simple customizations like this.

When you save and then close enumcustomize, notice that is says that a process has actually occurred - and you can see the result in /Windchill/wtCustom/lifecycle/ - this file includes the states added using enumcustomize.  All states still need to be made available to the databse thru the .jar rebuild process noted above.  If curious, you can see the results of this in the database directly.
