Changing Displayed Text Found in RBINFO Files

To ensure that site changes to displayed text that resides in RBINFO files is properly handled, note the following points:

• Site changes to PTC text values should be stored in RBINFO files that are in the <Windchill>/wtCustom directory structure. Never edit the RBINFO files in the <Windchill>/src directory. When the enumCustomize tool is used, it creates the required wtCustom directory structure.

• Changes to displayed text may have an effect on resources that are incorporated in client JAR files. Make sure to consult Managing Client JAR Files.

• The Windchill Service Pack and patch installers automatically re-compile these resources so maintenance updates and your site changes are re-combined.

The following sections provide additional details on text tailoring and updating client JAR files. For general information about the enumCustomize tool, see Enumerated Types.

For recommendations on where and how to create new localized resources (for example, new RBINFO files), see Best Practices for Adding New Packages and Files.
