Coding Configuration Management Triggers
Once you have referenced the necessary Beans, you can begin coding the rest of the trigger according to your needs.
For example, to create a server-side script that checks for a member revision description type the following:
Next, do the following:
1. Save the trigger script to the trigger library:
installdir/data/triggers/scripts
2. Update events definition file.
3. Restart Windchill RV&S server.
4. Windchill RV&S runs the configuration management event trigger at the next applicable client action.
| You should restrict JavaScript triggers to a reasonable length. Although the Windchill RV&S server can process commands in parallel, a long running script can affect the duration of that specific command from the client’s perspective. |
For example, the following client-side script—CIpre—runs a KornShell script that prompts the user to add a revision description for the member they are checking in.
To configure the trigger, the following information is added to the Windchill RV&S server:
si.CheckInMembers.pre=CIpre
si.trigger.CIpre.command=sh -w -c 'echo Please provide a brief summary
of changes you made in the Revision Description field.'
