Objective
Demonstrate customization guidelines for displaying related accountability maps on part information page.
Problem Statement
You want to display related accountability maps on part information page.
Solution
Use customization hooks to implement logic for displaying related accountability maps on part information page.
Prerequisite knowledge
To achieve this objective, you need to have an understanding of the following:
• Basic MPMLink and BOM structure
• Basic development involving Java
• Management of *-actions.xml and *-actionmodels.xml file customizations
• Windchill JCA table builder
• OOTB Accountability Map create and edit
Solution Element
AccountabilityServiceImpl().getAccountabilityMaps(part) — This API returns all accountability maps that contain the input part (as a value) as well as all accountability maps that have the input part set as root context. All versions of an accountability map found will be returned.
1. Configure new table builder which extends AbstractComponentBuilder.
2. In the buildComponentData() of the table builder, acquire wtPart content object from params and use new AccountabilityServiceImpl().getAccountabilityMaps(part) API to obtain the accountability maps related with the part.
3. In buildComponentConfig() method of the table builder, add appropriate columns such as Icon, Name, Number and so on.
4. Add class level annotation: @ComponentBuilder.
5. For the table component, create an action in *-actions.xml.
6. Add the new action entry in *actionmodels.xml so that the table is rendered on the part information page as shown below.
