Customization Analysis Page
The Customization Analysis page displays the Windchill+ readiness status or the upgrade readiness of the Windchill environment that is being assessed. It determines the readiness based on the level of customizations done on the environment.
This dashboard provides a summary view of the most critical issues identified and gives a better understanding of your customization impact. It can be used as guidance about how to make your customization compliant with the Windchill+ guidelines. It also gives insight if you are looking for standardizing customization and seeking opportunities to improve your Total Cost of Ownership. After having reviewed those findings, you can drill down into the specific issues and details by exporting them using the Download Consolidated Report action.
You can select the target version from the Target Release drop-down. The default selection is Windchill+, which shows the readiness of your environment for migration to Windchill+. You can select other Windchill versions if you want to check readiness for upgrading to newer Windchill version.
For Windchill+ Guidelines, see
Windchill+ Help Center.

Each of the category displays the number of files impacted by any of the impact criteria — Allowed in Windchill+, Upgrade, Security, or Portability.

The data displayed on this page depends on whether the data is received through Windchill Performance Advisor or WReadE.
Data Availability Scenarios
1. Data is received by execution of WReadE on Windchill Server
Target selected as Windchill+ : All the sbove three categories are displayed with the details of identified issues.
Target selected as non- Windchill+ : DB Schema changes are not displayed for Windchill versions 11.0, 11.1, 11.2, and 12.0.
2. Data is received from connected Windchill server through Windchill Performance Advisor for Windchill versions 12.1.2.4 and onwards
Target selected as Windchill+ : All the above three categories are displayed with the details of identified issues.
Target selected as non- Windchill+ : DB Schema changes are not displayed for target Windchill versions 11.1, 11.2, and 12.0.
3. Data is received from connected Windchill server Windchill Performance Advisor for Windchill versions previous to 12.1.2.4
Target selected as Windchill+ or non Windchill+: DB Schema changes are not displayed. Only OOTB modified and Customization and Configuration categories are displayed.
4. Data is received from connected Windchill Server and also by execution of WReadE
In this case as data is received from both sources, the precedence is given to WReadE data and all the artifacts are assessed for all the impact fields.

Once the data is received from WReadE, dashboard will always display the data received through WReadE data, even if updated data is received through Windchill Performance Advisor.
