Loading Variant Specifications Using an API
Variant specifications can be loaded using supported Windchill APIs. The following APIs provided out-of-the-box to load standalone variant specification associated with a configurable module, standalone variant specifications associated with an Option Set, managed variant specification, and managed Option Filter:
• VariantLoadNavCriteriaBean API
public List<VariantSpecLoadOutputBean> loadVariantSpecs(List<VariantLoadNavCriteriaBean> navCriteriaBeans, List<VariantLoadPartConfigSpecBean> partconfigSpecBeans, List<VariantLoadATORuleConfigSpecBean> atoConfigSpecBeans) throws WTException, WTPropertyVetoException, Exception;
• VariantSpecLoadOutputBean API
public List<VariantSpecLoadOutputBean> loadVariantSpecs(List<VariantSpecLoadOutputBean> variantSpecBeans, Map<String, VariantSpec> existingVariantSpecs) throws WTException, WTPropertyVetoException, Exception;
It is recommended to use the VariantLoadNavCriteriaBean API. The VariantSpecLoadOutputBean API provides a more granular access using objects.

Creation of the variant specification using a user-defined variant specification number is not supported using the out-of-the-box API.
