Post-Rehost Issues with Lifecycle State and Custom Part Subtype

Description

After successfully rehosting the Windchill environment, we are facing two issues in the target environment.

Issue 1 – Error while opening Part Folder / Parts Information

When accessing the Part Folder / Parts Information page, the MethodServer reports the following error:

wt.util.WTInvalidParameterException:
No EnumeratedType exists with "NPR PENDING" as its internal value.

The relevant stack trace is:

at wt.fc.EnumeratedTypeUtil.toEnumeratedType(EnumeratedTypeUtil.java:346)
at wt.fc.EnumeratedTypeUtil.toEnumeratedType(EnumeratedTypeUtil.java:292)
at wt.fc.EnumeratedType.toEnumeratedType(EnumeratedType.java:475)

at wt.fc.StandardPersistenceManager.query(StandardPersistenceManager.java:1929)
at com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.folder.query.FolderQuery.retrieveFolderContents(FolderQuery.java:250)
at com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.folder.mvc.builders.FolderTableBuilder.buildComponentData(FolderTableBuilder.java:262)

The error occurs when Windchill attempts to retrieve the contents of the folder.

The lifecycle configuration contains a state with the display name NPR Pending and internal value NPR PENDING. However, Windchill reports that no corresponding EnumeratedType exists for this internal value.

We would like assistance in identifying why the lifecycle state cannot be resolved after rehosting and how to correct the inconsistency using a supported Windchill procedure.

Issue 2 – Custom Part Subtype Cannot Be Created

A custom Part subtype from the source environment has been successfully rehosted and is visible in the target environment.

The subtype is configured as instantiable, but we are unable to create a new Part using this subtype.

The subtype is available in the type configuration, but it does not appear to be usable when creating a new Part.

We would like assistance in determining why an instantiable custom Part subtype cannot be used to create a new Part after rehosting and whether this is related to the lifecycle/enumeration issue or is a separate configuration issue.
