Configure the Lifecyclemap.properties File
The lifecycle.map.properties command assigns a lifecycle to a WTPart. All states of the lifecycle link to the WTPart. It is necessary to specify the mapping properties of the WTPart.
The lifecyclemap.properties command can be found in the following directory:
<Windchill>\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\pdmlink\proimigration
* 
• If lifecycle mapping is not found in the file, the lifecycle and state for a newly created part becomes created by the object initialization rule for the part.
• If lifecycle mapping does not exist in the file, and if the CAD-document has lifecycle mapping, an exception may occur when the lifecyclemap.properties is NOT mapped properly.
This table lists the rules and definitions of the lifecyclemap.properties command.
