To install or enable OOTB Configurable Links using CCD utility, follow these steps:
Create a modular structure for Windchill+.
1. Add the following configuration in the custom.site.xconf file to load the OOTB example artifacts:
<ConfigurationRef xlink:href="../../codebase/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/ConfigurableLinkExamples.xconf"/>
2. Load the ConfigurableLinkExamples.xml file. Create or update the file at <customizationRootDirectory>/configurations/loadFiles/custom/loadFileSet.xml directory and add the following entry:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE loadFileList SYSTEM "/wt/load/windchillLoad.dtd">
<loadFileList>
<loadFile filename="configurableLinks/ConfigurableLinkExamples.xml" />
</loadFileList>
Make sure that the following entry is added in the configurations/deploy.xml file to load the loadfileset:
<loadFileSet>custom/loadFileSet.xml</loadFileSet>
3. Add the following property to the custom.site.xconf file to make the Configurable Links available in Part Structure Browser (PSB):
<Property name="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.psb.showConfigurableLinksTab" value="true" targetFile="codebase/wt.properties"/>
4. To control the display of the Configurable Links tables in the Configurable Links tab, use the following properties for each of the Configurable Link types:
◦ ReferenceLink: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.showReferenceLinksTable
◦ DescribeLink: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.showDescribeLinksTable
◦ RevisionLink: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.showRevisionLinksTable
◦ MasterLink: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.showMasterLinksTable
For example, add the following property to the custom.site.xconf file:
