Additional Details
The support for the integration of Windchill with Windchill Modeler and IBM Rational Doors NG OSLC servers is available out of the box. In addition, PTC is extending Digital Product Traceability to any product that has exposed requirements and architecture domain resources over OSLC servers.
When an external resource that is traced to
Windchill undergoes a modification, a
Suspect Alert icon in the
Traced To notifies the
Windchill user about the modification.
Windchill 12.0.0.0 provides a specialized type of OSLC resources which is more granular than a domain specific resource type. The specialized type of OSLC resources can be represented in Windchill using a specific soft type.
If a traced Windchill object is copied, moved, or saved as a new object, the trace link is copied to the new object.
The Show Traces Tab in Part Structure preference controls the visibility of the Traces tab in the part Structure tab. When set to No, the default, Traces tab is hidden for the part Structure tab.
