Windchill Adapter Configuration Entry
The Windchill adapter is a tightly integrated component of the Windchill server. When the method server is started, the adapter is started automatically as a part of the method server startup sequence. The Windchill adapter provides the API through which Info*Engine accesses data in the Windchill system.

The form does not provide a way to modify the wt.property settings that are set for the adapter during the Windchill installation. In most cases, modifications to these setting are not needed. However, if the Windchill name, Info*Engine resource property file location, the Info*Engine Naming Service name, or the JNDI adapter name used with Windchill is changed, then the corresponding value in wt.properties must be changed.

Adapter properties are maintained as attributes in Info*Engine adapter JSON entries. Use the Info*Engine Administration utility to add or modify existing adapter entries. You can access the property administration utility by navigating to > and clicking Info*Engine Administration. For more information, see the following topics:
