Configuring Automation
Configuring Automated Publishing
You must configure Windchill Service Information Manager and Windchill Service Parts (SIM/SP) publishing for automation. Out of the box, SIM/SP publishing provides a reference configuration that can be turned on for testing purposes. This configuration is used for both information structures and publication structures. To turn on the reference configuration, modify the following two files:
1. Windchill\declarations.xconf—Add the <ConfigurationRef xlink:href="codebase/com/ptc/arbortext/windchill/publisher/automation/scautomation.xconf"/> element. This will bring the following two xconf files to Windchill:
◦ scautomation.wt.properties.xconf
◦ scautomation.wvs.properties.xconf
The scautomation.wvs.properties.xconf file adds the ServiceCenterIncrementalPublish job to the Job drop-down menu in the WindchillWVS Job Scheduler Administration utility.
2. Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\arbortext\windchill\publisher\automation\scautomation.wt.properties.xconf—Change the value of the enableAutomatedRepublishTracking property to true.
After these two files have been modified, execute the xconfmanager -p command from a Windchill shell and restart Windchill.
