Manually Configuring the FPLM Adapter for Windchill 10.1
To manually configure the FPLM Adapter for Windchill 10.1, perform the following steps:
1. Go to the FPLMServer installation directory and save the backup of the dpat directory.
2. Delete all the files/folders present inside the dpat directory.
3. Extract AdapterToolkit.jar from the WT_HOME\srclib\dpinfra folder into the dpat directory.
4. On the Windchill side, run the command: ant -f PackageAdapter.xml package_files. This will generate a jar file named InfoEngine.jar in the WT_HOME/temp/ie_adapter_install folder.)
5. Extract the contents of the jar file created in step 4 into the dpat directory.
6. Copy the config.properties, configuration.properties, ie.properties, and log4j.properties files from the backup folder to the dpat directory.
7. Reopen the dpat directory.
8. Copy all the .xml files whose names begin with foran from the backup task folder to the task folder.
9. Copy adapter-plugin.xml from the backup xml folder and paste it into the xml folder.
10. Make sure the public key is in place.
11. Copy DPAToolkit.jar from the \dpat\lib directory to the \FPLMServer\Jfplmserver\lib directory.
