ACL's Extraction and Loading from Windchill 9.1 to Windchill 10.2 System

Hi All,

If we want to migrate ACL's from the source system Windchill 9.1 M010 to target system Windchill 10.2 M020. How would we do that ? Can you please answer the below questions

1. ) Do we need to write a custom utility for extracting ACL's from the source system ? If yes, can anyone please share a sample code related to the same.

2. ) As and when we migrate data from the source system to that of target system using Windchill Bulk Migrator the extracted data first loads into the staging database and from the staging database the data gets extracted into the target Windchill system. So upon extracting ACL's from the source system will they also be stored in the staging database. If yes where ?

3. ) Upon saying retrieving or extracting ACL's what is it are we extracting ? What is the output going to be like ? Is it an xml file or something else ? What is ACL's extracted output ? Say for suppose if we are extracting WTPart or WTDocument object types we can see all the object related data in the staging database and upon loading in target system and its database. So where will the ACL's be stored in the system ? Is it in the staging database or anything else ? Can anyone tell the name of the table ?

4. ) Upon creating an ACL in Policy Administrator will it make an entry in the Windchill folder. If yes which particular file will be internally modified and how to see that ?

Please answer these questions so that I can get some idea on ACL extraction and loading into target system.

Thanks and Regards,

Aditya Achanta

Hi Aditya.

To get the XML file can we develop a java program or a utility ?

Can you please let me know about it once ?

If there are any sample utilities of that sort can you please attach the same for my reference.

Thanks and Regards,

Aditya achanta
