Manually Setting Properties Outside of the Windchill Configuration Assistant
The Windchill Configuration Assistant property values are stored in a separate XCONF file located at <Windchill>/utilities/wca/conf/windchill/windchillconfigurator.xconf, where <Windchill> is the Windchill installation directory. To view the properties set by the Windchill Configuration Assistant, open the XCONF file in a text editor.
The Windchill Configuration Assistant installation adds the ConfigurationRef element to the site.xconf file to establish the link between site-managed property values and those values set as a result of running the Windchill Configuration Assistant. When propagating values from the site.xconf file, the xconfmanager utility sets the values in the order they appear in the site.xconf file. When it comes to the Windchill Configuration Assistant ConfigurationRef element, it sets the values identified in the windchillconfigurator.xconf file and then goes on to next element in the site.xconf file.
If properties you set manually through the site.xconf file are the same as properties set by Windchill Configuration Assistant, the location of the manual setting in the site.xconf file determines which value is set when the site.xconf file propagation completes:
If the manual property setting comes after the ConfigurationRef element for the windchillconfigurator.xconf file, then the manual setting overrides the value set through the Windchill Configuration Assistant.
If the manual property setting comes before the ConfigurationRef element for the windchillconfigurator.xconf file, then the value set through the Windchill Configuration Assistant overrides the manual setting.
If you have manually set a property value that is also set through the Windchill Configuration Assistant and that value is not being propagated, inspect the site.xconf file to determine its location relative to the ConfigurationRef element for the windchillconfigurator.xconf file.
