Publish Only Drawing files

Disable the publish at checkin and customize a POST_WORKSPACE_CHECKIN service to publish only drawings.

You can create a filter so that it only publishes the drawings. I had the same requirement when i was at a customer years ago. I don't have the rest of the configuration that calls this class, i believe it's just one of the wvs.properties that sets the method that you would use to validate the data.

I think these are the properties in wvs.properties, and you would specify the class and method name. Try it in the first one, it's been years since i did this.

publish.service.filterepmdocumentpublishmethod=

publish.service.filterpublishmethod=

package ext.wvs;

import wt.epm.EPMDocument;

import wt.epm.EPMDocumentType;

import com.ptc.windchill.cadx.common.CADDocTypes;

public class DrawingFilter

{

public static boolean isDrawing(EPMDocument epmdocument)

{

if (epmdocument != null && (epmdocument instanceof EPMDocument))

{

EPMDocumentType epmdocumenttype = epmdocument.getDocType();

System.out.println("filterEPMDocumentPublish isDrawing : " + epmdocumenttype.getStringValue());

return epmdocumenttype == EPMDocumentType.toEPMDocumentType("CADDRAWING");

}

else

return false;

}

}
