Excluding Certain CATIA V5 File Types from Visualization Publishing
The following supported CATIA V5 file types are not published by the Theorem worker:
• .CATMaterial
• .catalog
• .CATProcess
• .CATAnalysis
When Windchill Visualization Services tries to complete a publishing job for these file types, the job fails with a “No content to publish” error message. To reduce failures, you can perform a simple configuration change to prevent Windchill Visualization Services from creating publishing jobs for these non-publishable file types.
To do so, use the sample classes that are provided in Windchill. You must set the following properties in the wvs.properties file:
• publish.service.filterepmdocumentpublishmethod=com.ptc.wvs.server.publish.EpmDocumentPublishFilters/filterEPMDocumentPublish
Controls publish jobs for file types that are submitted as a result of a Windchill Workgroup Manager Ready to Publish event.
• publish.service.filterpublishmethod=com.ptc.wvs.server.publish.EpmDocumentPublishFilters/filterPublish
Controls file types submitted for all publish jobs. It enables you to supply a method that provides custom filtering of objects that can be published.
• publish.cadfileextensionfilter
Controls the file types that are published. Set the value to the file types that you want to be published. For example:
publish.cadfileextensionfilter=CATPart CATProduct CATDrawing cgr model
