Using a Loader to Assign Distribution Targets
A commonly used approach to assigning distribution targets is to use the Associate Distribution Targets option. However, it may sometimes be necessary to use the Windchill Loader to perform the assignments, especially when distribution targets are to be assigned in bulk to a large number of business objects, or to legacy data.
Use the following sample XML to assign distribution targets using a loader:
