The CheckOut-Objects webject checks out objects from Windchill.

Typically, objects are checked out in order to update them in various ways, and to maintain a long-term exclusive lock on them to prevent others from modifying them until they are checked in (see the CheckIn-Objects webject). If an error occurs during checkout, the webject returns an error message and no object is checked out.

If GROUP_IN is specified and its value is equal to GROUP_OUT and no other input parameters are specified, then the UFIDs within the input group are updated with the working copy UFIDs. This allows the output of CheckOut-Objects to be used as input to other webjects (for example, Update-Objects) with minimal effort.
