Creating and Loading the State-based Series
The steps for setting up list-based or state-based versioning schemes is identical. List-based and state-based series are managed, within the database, by a single scheme. An XML file is used load the definition into the database.
 |
It is recommended to start with the scheme currently loaded into the database.
|
The definition currently loaded in the system can be retrieved by using the Version Scheme Tailoring, available from > , or the loading utility. To use the utility, enter the following from within a Windchill shell:
java wt.series.LoadFileBasedSeries <XML_file> -read
where <XML_file> is the absolute file path of the file in which the loaded content is placed.
Use an XML editor to create the XML file. For the format of the file, see either of the following:
The file you create can have any name and be located in any accessible directory.
To load the list-based or state-based versioning XML file, enter the following from within a Windchill shell:
java wt.series.LoadFileBasedSeries <XML_file> -load
where <XML_file> is the absolute file path to the existing XML file.

• Only one file can be loaded at a time. Loading a second file overwrites the first file.
• After you load a new XML file, you must restart the method server.
