Windchill Bulk Migrator: No FilterOption xml is found.
Hello everyone,
I am currently trying to filter the extraction to only extract objects of an specific Organization. For that i tried to do a filtered extraction. The Filter most likely doesn't work as it is right now,but i didnt even get to test it.
I tried executing following command: windchill com.ptc.windchill.migration.wbm.wc2wc.extractor.filter.WindchillFilteredExtractor -u wcadmin -p wcadmin -d
my Windchill version is 12.0.2.8
Here are the logfiles:

This is what i see before as soon as the exception is thrown.
my FilterOption.xml File is at the following location: "D:\ptc\Windchill\Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\migration\wbm\wc2wc\extractor\filter\FilterOption.xml"
I had to create that file, since there wasn't one when i looked for it. I also copied the FilterOption.xml and renamed it to FilteringOption.xml, since i read both names in different documentations.
Is this even the right directory for the File. If the FilterOption.xml file should be there by default, does a command create it or is it there as soon as the extraction tool is installed?
Thank you in advance.
