Loading Release History
Release history is a record of the information that is published from Windchill, identifying the sourceWindchill PDMLink, MPMLink data, and the distribution target.
It may sometimes be necessary to load the release history for objects (such as parts and assemblies) that reside in the ERP system, but which were not published by Windchill ESI in the first place. Such a loading helps ensure that the two systems (Windchill PDMLink, MPMLink, and the ERP system) are in sync with each other, thereby allowing ESI to use those objects in subsequent publications.
Release Activity is now a typed object.
You can access the Release Activity from Site > Utilities > Type and Attribute Management. For more information on Type and Attribute Management, see Working with the Type and Attribute Management Utility.
You can add local and global attributes for Release Activity, but sub-types can not be created.
Creates Multiple Release Activity For Objects (using csvCreateReleaseActivity)
Loading release history is a common ERP Connector function. The release history can be loaded from an XML (Extensible Markup Language) or a CSV (comma-separated values) import file, when using wt.load.LoadFromFile to load release activity:
