Windchill PartsLink Post Installation Instructions
The following post-installation steps are required to configure Windchill PartsLink for use with the Windchill 10.2.
1. Ensure that the Windchill server is running.
2. Create a classification binding attribute. For more information on the following steps, see the help available from the Type and Attribute Management utility.
a. Log in as a site administrator, and launch Site > Utilities > Type and Attribute Management.
b. From the Manage Reusable Attributes window, create a reusable attribute with a String data type. Note the name of the reusable attribute you just created.
c. In the Manage Types window, navigate to the Part type.
d. Select Edit from the Actions drop-down list.
e. Create a new attribute on the Part type, selecting Global as the attribute type, and selecting the reusable attribute created in step b.
f. Click on the name of the new attribute to view the attribute’s information page.
g. On the Constraints tab, add a new constraint, and choose the Classification constraint rule.
h. In the Enter namespace field, enter com.ptc.csm.default_clf_namespace. This adds a default namespace. You can create your own Classification Binding Attribute by adding the name of the namespace that you have created using the Manage Classifications utility.
i. Click Done to save your changes.
Parts can now be classified against the classification binding attribute defined. Repeat these steps to create additional classification binding attributes, to achieve multi-classification.
3. Add the classification attributes to the part information page:
a. View the Part type in the Type and Attribute Management utility,
b. Select Edit from the Actions drop-down list.
c. From the Layouts tab, select the More Attributes Info Page Layout from the Layouts drop-down list.
d. From the drop down list below an existing attribute group, select Nested Classification Layout and click Add.
e. In the Add a new layout component window, select the classification binding attribute created in step 5, and click OK.
f. Enter a Group Display Name for the nested classification layout.
g. Repeat steps a through g for each classification binding attribute you want added to the part information page.
h. Click Done.
Loading a Demo Classification Structure
On a fresh server, you can load the demo classification as it is, as a starting point, or you can update the demo classification and use it to create your own classification structure. The demo classification is provided only as a sample classification and is not loaded automatically as part of the Windchill PartsLink installation. To load the demo classification, complete the following steps.
1. Open the following load file in a text editor:
<Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_nodes.xml
where <Windchill> is the location of your installed Windchill solution.
2. Update the file path in the <csvcontentRoot> element to point to the actual drive letter and directory where your Windchill solution is installed. For example, if your Windchill solution was installed on the J drive, in a directory named Windchill,
<csvContentRoot handler="com.ptc.core.lwc.server.
TypeDefinitionLoader.getContentRoot">
<csvcontentRoot>J:/Windchill/loadFiles/partslink/demoClf/
attachments/</csvcontentRoot>
<!--TODO: Update above csvContentRoot path before actual load-->
</csvContentRoot>
3. Load the following files in the order specified, using the procedure in the Windchill Installation and Configuration Guide (Guide d'installation et de configuration de Windchill):
<Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_QOM.xml
<Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_attributes.xml
<Windchill>\loadFiles\partslink\demoClf\DemoClassification_nodes.xml
