About Updating and Reloading of Visualization Tab in BOM Transformer
The reloading or updating of visualization pane in usage and occurrence modes in BOM Transformer is determined by the reloadVisualizationOnNCUpdate property. The property can be found in the baseserver.properties.xconf file located at <Windchill>/codebase/com/ptc/windchill/baseserver.
<Property name="com.ptc.windchill.baseserver.reloadVisualizationOnNCUpdate" default="false"/>
When set to false, the default, the visualization data of a part is stored in cache. When set to true, the system does not use a cache to store part information.
Assuming that reloadVisualizationOnNCUpdateis set to false, consider the following scenario:
1. Open a part or assembly in BOM Transformer. The tree structure in upstream and downstream views and its corresponding visualization data are loaded in BOM Transformer.
2. Apply filter criteria in upstream and downstream views of BOM Transformer. The tree structure in both the panes and the Visualization tab are updated. The filtered structure is displayed in the Visualization tab.
3. Click > > to revert to the default structure. The tree structure in upstream and downstream views display the original or default structure and the visualization panes are updated too. Note that, the Visualizationtab is not reloaded.
