no generated steps under representation

Hi there,

 

I recently switched from Windchill Essentials to PDMLink.

In Windchill Essentials the worker created several export formats according to the EPM-doc-type (pdf for drawings, step for cad-parts, etc.).

Though I did not changed "Creo View Configuration for Site"

(under Site->Utilities->Visualization Configuration Administration ), additional files under "representations" are no longer created.

e.g.
a cad-part, which was released and published under Windchill Essentials, shows an available step-download

a cad-part, which was released under PDMLink, shows no step-file

where to start?

Hi @Mat 

 

Have you set a xconfmanager preference to use publish rules? 

 

It seems that the Publish rules are not used because the Description of the visualization do not contains the Publish rule description. 

 

Check the 

xconfmanager -s publish.usesPublishRules="ARBORTEXT MPMLINK GALAXY PROE" -t codebase\WEB-INF\conf\wvs.properties -p

This article, along with Publish Rules, is a good place to start.

Thanks for CS216668.

But unfortunately, this article does not give me any clue, what is wrong with my configuration.

 

I attached my active PublishRules, which worked until my upgrade from Windchill Essentials to Windchill PDM Link.

Maybe there is an error, that I do not see.
