Configuring the Default Document Object Type
In the atidefaults.bcf file, the default attribute of the dmsobjtype element sets the default PTC Server object type for document objects created by Arbortext Editor and Arbortext Publishing Engine. Consult your Arbortext Content Manager or Windchill documentation for more information about object types.
By default, document objects created by the PTC Server connection are the Dynamic Document object type. This type is a subtype of the EPM Document type. You can set the default object type to be a subtype of the Dynamic Document type. However, you must specify a fully qualified subtype name in the following format:
wt.epm.EPMDocument|prefix.DynamicDocument|prefix.subtype2| ... |prefix.subtypeN
The prefix is generated by reversing the internet domain for the default organization. Each component must specify the system name of each subtype, not the display name, as given in the PTC Server Manage Types interface. Consult your Arbortext Content Manager or Windchill documentation for more information about object types.
Following is an example dmsobjtype element:
<dmsobjtype default="wt.epm.EPMDocument|com.acme.DynamicDocument|com.acme.Chapter"/>
This setting can be overridden for a specific document type by using the dmsobjtype setting in a document-type-specific burst configuration file. It is recommended that you define a different subtype for each of your supported document types and configure the burst configuration files to specify the subtype associated with the document type for new objects. You can then use that subtype to narrow searches for objects and to specify custom output.
