I need to create a conditional statement that checks if the PBO is drawing; if so, it advances; if not, it terminates. However, as a new Windchill administrator, I'm having trouble and can't find an article that can help me.

You can use something like the following:

If using this in a workflow you will need need to fully qualify the classes. eg

EPMDocument will change to wt.epm.EPMDocument.

 

if (primaryBusinessObject instanceof EPMDocument) {
	EPMDocument doc = (EPMDocument) primaryBusinessObject;
	if (doc.getDocType().toString().equals("CADDRAWING")) {
			// doc is a drawing
	} else {
			// doc is a not a drawing
	}
}

    Where is the workflow running? Is it on the Change Task or Change Notice? If CN, must account for multiple change tasks.
