Step 5: Matching <epm-type>
Evaluation continues by searching the children of the <authoring-application> element matched in Step 1 for an <epm-type> element with a ‘type’ attribute matching the EPMDocument’s Object Type. The value of the ‘type’ attribute is the EPMDocument’s Internal Name. Internal names are defined in the WindchillType and Attribute Management utility.
In order for global attributes to be set during processing, you first must define the global attribute for the type in the
Type and Attribute Management utility. See
Working with the Type and Attribute Management Utility for details.
<authoring-application name=”MY_AUTH_APP”>
<epm-type type=”MyLogicalId”>
*
*
*
</epm-type>
<epm-type type=”AnotherLogicalId”>
*
*
*
</epm-type>
</authoring-application>
If a match is found, the matched <epm-type> element becomes the root for searching for <publish> elements, which are described in Step 8; otherwise, evaluation proceeds to Step 6.
