Creating a Standalone Change Issue with Affected Objects

Windchill REST Services > Windchill REST Services Domain Capabilities > Examples for Basic REST Operations > Examples for the PTC Change Management Domain > Creating a Standalone Change Issue with Affected Objects

You can create a standalone Change Issue (Problem Report or Variance) with one or more Affected Objects by providing the required attributes and the Changeables OIDs that you want to add as Affected Objects, in the request body. To create such Change Issues, you must have Create permission. You must also adhere to the “Attribute Constraints” and “Cascading Attribute Rules” as specified in the Type and Attribute Manager.

The Affected Objects that you want to add must exist and you must have Read permission to those. You can add the Affected Objects according to the defined association rules.

You can add any of the Changeables such as parts, documents, subtypes of parts, or subtypes of documents as Affected Objects.

You cannot add Change Management Revision (BOM Redline) objects as Affected Objects to a Change Issue. If you specify any such objects to be added as Affected Objects, the request fails and returns an error.

Example: Creating a Standalone Problem Report with Multiple Affected Objects

This example shows you how to create a standalone Problem Report with multiple Affected Objects. In this example, the request creates a standalone Problem Report with four Changeable objects (parts, in this example) as its Affected Objects. Use the following POST URI with the request body.

URI

POST /Windchill/servlet/odata/ChangeMgmt/ProblemReports

Request Headers

Content-Type: application/json
CSRF_NONCE: <Use the value from Fetch NONCE example>

Request Body

{

"Display": "Open"
},
"Latest": true,
"DescriptionSummary": "Problem Report",
"LifeCycleTemplateName": "Problem Report Life Cycle",

"Changeables('OR:wt.part.WTPart:123833')",
"Changeables('OR:wt.part.WTPart:123771')"
]
}

If you do not specify Changeables OIDs, then the request creates a standalone Problem Report but does not add Affected Objects to it.

Example: Creating a Standalone Subtype of a Problem Report with Multiple Affected Objects

This example shows you how to create a standalone subtype of a Problem Report with multiple Affected Objects. In this example, the request creates the TestWTChangeIssue subtype of a Problem Report with four Changeable objects (parts, in this example) as its Affected Objects. Use the following POST URI with the request body.

"Changeables('OR:wt.part.WTPart:123771')"
]
}

If you do not specify Changeables OIDs, then the request creates a standalone subtype but does not add Affected Objects to it.

Example: Creating a Standalone Subtype of a Problem Report with a Model/Soft Attribute and an Affected Object

This example shows you how to create a standalone subtype of a Problem Report with a soft attribute and an Affected Object specified in the request body. In this example, the request creates a standalone subtype of a Problem Report with the specified soft attribute and a Changeable object (a part, in this example) as its Affected Object. Use the following POST URI with the request body.

Example: Creating a Standalone Variance with Multiple Affected Objects

This example shows you how to create a standalone Variance with multiple Affected Objects. In this example, the request creates a standalone Variance with four Changeable objects (parts, in this example) as its Affected Objects. Use the following POST URI with the request body.
