Configuring the Build Rule
Windchill uses a combination of Windchill Preference Management utility preferences and Windchill properties to control the following functions during execution of the build rule:
What attributes to publish from a CAD document to a build target, based on the team template of the target
Specification of whether to use existing part usage links or create new usage links
Specification of whether to use existing part usage links or create new usage links
Enabling or disabling the creation of as stored configurations
Controlling Attribute Publishing
You can set the following preferences to define the attributes that are published to the indicated build targets (these preferences are all listed under the categories EPM Service Preferences > Build Service Preferences).
Attributes to be published on Link
Attributes to be published on Master
Attributes to be published on Occurrence
Attributes to be published on Part
For each preference, the default value is an asterisk (*), which specifies that all attributes are to be published. Specify the specific attributes to be published by replacing the asterisk with a delimiter-separated list of attributes (or specify no attributes by removing the asterisk).
* 
The preference, EPM Service Preferences > Build Service Preferences > Attributes Delimiter, defines the delimiter that separates the listed attributes. A comma (,) is the default value.
The following table lists preferences for the build service:
Preference
Values
Description
Allowed edit of part structure built by build service
Yes
No (default)
In the case where a CAD document is owned by an ECAD application, allows editing of the part structure built by build service
Attributes Delimiter
, (default)
<character value>
Identifies the delimiter used in listing attributes to be published
Attributes to be published on Link
<String(s), separated by delimiter character set in preference, Attributes Delimiter>
Identifies attributes to be published on the member link
Attributes to be published on Master
<String(s), separated by delimiter character set in preference, Attributes Delimiter>
Identifies attributes to be published on the master
Attributes to be published on Occurrence
<String(s), separated by delimiter character set in preference, Attributes Delimiter>
Identifies attributes to be published on an occurrence
Attributes to be published on Part
<String(s), separated by delimiter character set in preference, Attributes Delimiter>
Identifies attributes to be published on the part
Specifying Usage Links
To have the build process use existing usage links, leave the property wt.epm.build.subsumeLinks set to the default value true.
To specify that the build process creates new usage links, set the property wt.epm.build.subsumeLinks to false.
If you want the build process to create new links using your usage link class (a subclass of WTPartUsageLink) set wt.epm.build.linkClass to your usage link class. The default value is wt.part.WTPartUsageLink.
Vetoing Operations Based on Owner Application
By default, the following operations are set for a client-side veto on objects owned by specific applications:
Add link
Change folder (Move)
Check in
Check out
Delete IBA
Delete link
Delete (object)
Modify property
Revise
Each operation is controlled by a property that contains the operation name, and the operation is vetoed for all applications listed in the default value. To enable the operation for objects owned by a specific application, remove that application’s name from the default listing.
For example, to enable moving (changing the folder) of objects owned by the Pro/INTRALINK Gateway application, you modify the property wt.epm.veto.change.folder. The default value for the property is:
OPTEGRAGATEWAY,PROINTRALINKGATEWAY,PROPDMGATEWAY,
WORKMANAGERGATEWAY,IDEASTDM.
Therefore, you enable the move operation for Pro/INTRALINK Gateway-owned objects by removing PROINTRALINKGATEWAY, from the comma-delimited list, yielding the following setting for the property:
wt.epm.veto.change.folder=OPTEGRAGATEWAY,PROPDMGATEWAY,WO
RKMANAGERGATEWAY,IDEASTDM.
* 
The property wt.epm.veto.delimiter defines the character used to delimit the list of owning applications. The default value is comma (,).
