Actions Available in the PTC Service Information Management Domain
The following key actions are available in the PTC Service Information Management domain:
GetStructure
The action GetStructure expands a publication and information structure, and retrieves its contents. The action is bound to the entity NavigationCriteria, that is, to the filter saved in Windchill. The action is available for InformationStructure, InformationGroup, PublicationStructure, PublicationSection, and GenericInformationElement entities.
When you call the GetStructure action, in the request body of the URL, you must specify the ID of the NavigationCriteria. This is the ID of the saved filter you want to use as the filter criteria. If you do not specify the ID of the filter in the request body, then the default filter is used to work with the structure.
CreateRepresentationFromLocalFile
The CreateRepresentationFromLocalFile action enables you to create a representation along with the associated thumbnail from a local file for a given representable.
The following is an example of the POST URI for this action:
POST /Windchill/servlet/odata/ServiceInfoMgmt/InformationStructures(‘OR:wt.part.WTPart:258669’)/PTC.ServiceInfoMgmt.CreateRepresentationFromLocalFile
For more information, see the
Creating a Representation from a Local File example topic.
