Loading Groups into the Database

Load group name entries into the database for reference to LDAP entries.

Load the manually created XML group files from the source Windchill system into the target Windchill system. There are two XML files: one for site-level groups and one for organization-level groups.

• From a Windchill shell, load the site groups using the following command:

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d SiteLevelGroups.xml

• From a Windchill shell, load the organization groups using the following command:

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d OrgLevelGroups.xml
-CONT_PATH "/wt.inf.container.OrgContainer=ptcnet"

The OrgContainer value ptcnet in the example is the name of the organization you want to load groups into. It is equal to the com.lcs.wc.util.flexContainer.organizationName property in the custom.lcs.properties file.
