Windchill API to create PVC file.

Following is the code snippet which create new document i.e., IDD and also creates a new PVC file against to the representation and attach as a primary content to that new document.

PVC file is nothing but it is consist of all the information of the representataion in xml format. I will  attached sample PVC file.

I have tested and its working.

String lifeCycleName = "Basic";//lifecycle name

  String container_path = "/wt.inf.container.OrgContainer=CRD/wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct=PD3";//the container where the document will be created/located

  String folder_path = "/Default/IDD";//folder path

WTDocument doc = WTDocument.newWTDocument();

  doc.setName(name);

  doc.setNumber(number);

  WTContainerRef containerRef = WTContainerHelper.service.getByPath(container_path);

  doc.setContainerReference(containerRef);

  Folder folder = FolderHelper.service .getFolder(folder_path,containerRef);

  FolderHelper. assignLocation(doc, folder);

  LifeCycleTemplate lct = LifeCycleHelper.service .getLifeCycleTemplate(lifeCycleName , doc.getContainerReference());

  doc = (WTDocument) LifeCycleHelper. setLifeCycle(doc, lct);

TypeDefinitionReference typeDefRef1 = TypedUtilityServiceHelper.service.getTypeDefinitionReference("com.ptc.InterferenceDetectionDefinition");

  doc.setTypeDefinitionReference(typeDefRef1);

  doc = (WTDocument) wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager .store(doc);  

  QueryResult epmReps = RepresentationHelper.service.getRepresentations(epm);

  if (epmReps != null) {

     while (epmReps.hasMoreElements()) {

      Representation   representation = (Representation) epmReps.nextElement();

      System.out.println("sucesfully the load re"+representation.getName());

        if(representation.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("testasm2")){

         representation = (Representation) epmReps.nextElement();         

BatchClashDefinitionModel paramBatchClashDefinitionModel = new BatchClashDefinitionModel((Versioned)epm, representation, Locale.ENGLISH);

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setName("assembly name");

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setUseLatestVariantSpec(true);

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setRepublishRepresentation(REPUBLISH_CONSTANT.DO_NOT_REPUBLISH);

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setAssemblyFeatures("false");

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setMode(MODE_CONSTANT.APPROXIMATE);

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setUnits(UNITS_CONSTANT.MM);

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setSelectedRepresentation(representation.getName());

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setRepresentationByNameExist(true);      

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setClashReportName(epm.getNumber()+"_1report");

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setJobName(epm.getNumber()+"_1");

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setJobDescription("******descriptions****");

      paramBatchClashDefinitionModel.setSubmitForClashing(true);     

      BatchClashHelper.saveContent(doc, paramBatchClashDefinitionModel);     

  //    PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(doc);

       System.out.println("sucesfully the load representaion"+doc);         }      }   }   }
