Move Preference
If an object has been moved in the source PLM system, it not automatically moved in the target PLM system upon import. To control this behavior, you can uncomment the following preference in the wpc_preferences.txt file and set it as follows:
import.move.caddocuments=<true or false>
If you want the objects to be automatically moved in the target PLM system when they are imported, set this preference to true. Note that a location change in the mapping file overrides the new location on the source PLM system, and the objects are moved according to the mapping file. If you set this preference to true, you might need to update your mapping file.
If an object has been moved from one context to another, all the revisions of that object (for example, a.prt A.1 and B.1) are moved to the target context. For moves within a context (subfolder move), only the selected revision is moved; other revisions of the object remain in their current folder.
If you do not want the objects to be moved automatically in the target PLM system, set this preference to false. When this preference is set to false, the user is notified of the new location of objects in the package details report.
PTC recommends the following:
• Do not change this preference frequently, as changes to this preference require a change to the mapping definition.
• If you have multiple client environments, set this preference consistently across all environments.
