Defining a Property Key

The property key defines the context in which the copy over property should be considered. Here, context specifies that only when the user executes a particular action for a specific part type, the attributes or associations should be carried over.

Key Element	Element Value
copy over delimiter	For BOM Transformer:com.ptc.windchill.mpml.copyOver For SAPSB:com.ptc.arbortext.windchill.copyOver
module name	Applicable when using transformation actions. For BOM Transformer: mapsb For SAPSB: sapsb
action name.mode	Applicable when using actions such as the following: New Downstream Part, Paste as New Part: newPart.create New Downstream Branch, Paste as New Branch: newBranch.create Create Equivalent Link: create Update All Downstream Equivalent Objects, Update to Current Upstream Equivalent Object: update
fully qualified class name	For part: wt.part.WTPart For part master: wt.part.WTPartMaster For part usage: wt.part.WTPartUsageLink For part subtype: Append the class name for part with the internal name of the subtype.
container class name	For product: PDMLinkProduct For library: WTLibrary It is optional to provide the container class name.
container name	The display name of a product in Windchill. You should have the rights to access the product. For example, Drive System. It is optional to provide the container name.

If you do not specify the container details, the property configuration will apply to all the containers in Windchill. If you want the property to be applicable only to a specific container, provide the container details. However, you will need to check if a similar property already exists for a different container or all containers, which is the case when the container details are not specified. Remove any such property to avoid overriding issues, and add a new property with the container details.

If you have not configured a property for the subtype, the property configured for its parent type is used when the attribute defined for the subtype is carried over.

The following examples define property keys for the actions that create and update an equivalent link for a part, part subtype, and part usage. The actions are Create Equivalent Link, Update All Downstream Equivalent Objects, and Update to Current Upstream Equivalent Object.
