Extending Product Management Domain to Add A Soft Type
This example shows you how to extend the Product Management domain to add a soft type of an existing part. Consider a case where you want to create WTPart of soft type Capacitor which has its parent soft type as Electrical Part.
To extend the domain to add the soft type, create a custom configuration file Capacitors.json at:
<Windchill>/codebase/rest/custom/domain/ProdMgmt/<version>/entity
wcType property must have the same Internal Name as defined for the soft type in Type Management.
{
"name": "Capacitor",
"collectionName": "Capacitors",
"wcType": "com.ptc.ptcnet.Capacitor",

"parent": {
"name": "ElectricalParts"
},
"attributes": [
{
"name":"Capacitance",
"internalName":"Capacitance",
"type":"String"
}
]
}
Sample request to create WTPart with soft type ‘Capacitor’:

"Number":"TestWTPart_002",
"AssemblyMode": {
"Value": "component",
"Display": "Component"
},
