Question

Testing if model exists in PDMLink

In situations where products and libraries are private (now view access), there is the scenario where an engineering might build a model only to find that it exists in an area where they cannot see (uniqueness exception). Does anyone have a work around for this? I was thinking of a method where they can check if something exists and return a yes or no to that query.

One of the simplest way is to define the Report for EPMDoocument (limited columns/data) with bypass acess control and exposed report to Users Home tab.


By running this report, user can easily find out if CAD of same number/file name already exists (location/container) in Windchill or not


Issue I see with such report is that User can generate report without giving any criteria or value. In such case windchill will retrive all data.
