Targets for the site.xconf ConfigurationRef Element
The assistant uses the ConfigurationRef element in the site.xconf file to establish the link between site-managed property values maintained in the site.xconf file and those values set as a result running the configure and configureWindchill targets.
The xlink:href value set in the ConfigurationRef element is the partial file path to the windchillconfigurator.xconf file. For example:
<ConfigurationRef xlink:href="utilities/wca/conf/windchill/windchillconfigurator.xconf"/>
If the ConfigurationRef element is not already present, it is automatically added to the site.xconf file when you include -Dpropagate=true on an ant command that executes either the configure or configureWindchill target.
If you want to use the propagate or propagateWindchill target to propagate the values stored in the windchillconfigurator.xconf file, the ConfigurationRef element must be in the site.xconf file before the target is executed.
The following table describes the targets that you can use to add and remove the ConfigurationRef element:
Target
Description
installConfigRef
Adds the ConfigurationRef element to the site.xconf file and creates an empty windchillconfigurator.xconf file in the <Windchill>/utilities/wca/conf/windchill directory.
If the ConfigurationRef element has already been added to site.xconf and the windchillconfigurator.xconf file exists, the target completes successfully, but no changes are made.
If the ConfigurationRef element has already been added to site.xconf but the windchillconfigurator.xconf file does not exist, an empty windchillconfigurator.xconf file is created.
uninstallConfigRef
Removes the ConfigurationRef element from the site.xconf file.
If the element is not in the site.xconf file, no error is returned.
