An attempt to publish a control characteristic results in a failure
This problem can occur if any of the following is true:
• The control characteristic is consumed by a process plan’s operation but is no longer associated to its owner (part or process plan). Also, the Windchill ESI preference Ignore Orphaned Control Characteristics has a value No.
• The associated model item's EPM document is no longer associated to the control characteristic’s owner.
In order for the control characteristic to be published successfully, ensure that the control characteristic and its model item's EPM document are both associated to the control characteristic's owner.
