Windchill Workgroup Manager Customization
Custom services can be registered with Windchill server to create the infrastructure to validate a custom request, locate, and execute a custom service. The server returns a custom response to be interpreted by the custom client code which invokes a custom service through Windchill Workgroup Manager request protocols.
A Windchill Workgroup Manager client invokes a custom service on Windchill through the Custom Windchill Workgroup Manager Request Protocols.
