    I have done that with the information of the case: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS276238?as=1

    In my case WTParts have some WTDocuments which are added by Configurable links after a release. So I modified just the WTPart Compare.

     

    1. Edit file: 

    $(wt.home)/codebase/netmarkets/jsp/ocmp/WTPart/comparisonReport4WTPartStep.jsp

    and added

    linkToDisplayMsgMap.put(wt.configurablelink.ConfigurableReferenceLink.class.getName(),
     ocmpClientResource.RELATED_DOCUMENTS);

    2. Edit file:

    $(wt.home)/codebase/netmarkets/jsp/ocmp/common/tailoringOptions.properties

    and add it to the WTPart

    wt.part.WTPart/RELATED_DOCUMENTS=wt.part.WTPartReferenceLink,wt.part.WTPartDescribeLink,wt.configurablelink.ConfigurableReferenceLink

     and add

    wt.configurablelink.ConfigurableReferenceLink=RELATED_DOCUMENTS

     3. Edit file:

    $(wt.home)/codebase/com/ptc/core/ocmp/config/ObjComparisonConfig.xml

     add

    <type id="wt.configurablelink.ConfigurableReferenceLink" comparator="default" assembly="wnc">
     <attrs comparator="default">
     <ids/>
     </attrs>
     <role comparator="default">references</role>
     <roleTargetsToCompare/>
     </type>

    Restart Windchill and the WTPart Compare shows now the connected or disconnected WTDocuments which have been connected by a configurable link.

      It's difficult to help without any logs etc. I would say you forgot the following entry:

      wt.configurablelink.ConfigurableReferenceLink=RELATED_DOCUMENTS
