Windchill MPMLink Post Installation Instructions
Perform the following steps to complete the Windchill MPMLink installation:
Enabling Control Characteristics
To enable control characteristics, see the procedures in following sections.
• Configuring Windchill Properties to Enable Control Characteristics
• Configuring Creo Parametric Options
• Updating the Object Adapter Recipe File for Creo Parametric
Configuring Windchill Properties to Enable Control Characteristics
Use the following procedures to configure Windchill properties that enable control characteristics.
To configure Windchill properties to propagate EPMDocs from the upstream to the downstream part:
1. Navigate to and open the mpmlink.properties.xconf file, available at the following location:
\Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\mpml\xconfs\mpmlink.properties.xconf
2. Locate properties that copies over EPMBuildRule. For example:
Property name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.copyOver.create.wt.part.WTPart"
Property name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.copyOver.update.wt.part.WTPart"
Property name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.copyOver.mapsb.
newBranch.create.wt.part.WTPart"
Property name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.copyOver.mapsb.
duplicate.create.wt.part.WTPart"
Property name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.replaceEPMBuildRule.by"
* 
Add the properties related with EPMBuildRule if they are not present in the mpmlink.properties.xconf file.
3. Add the following entries to the properties mentioned in step 2:
WCTYPE|wt.part.WTPart~MBA|describedBy@WCTYPE|wt.epm.structure.EPMDescribeLink
WCTYPE|wt.part.WTPart~MBA|buildSource@WCTYPE|wt.epm.build.EPMBuildRule
WCTYPE|wt.part.WTPart~MBA|describedBy@WCTYPE|com.ptc.windchill.
mpml.pmi.MPMWTPartToEPMDocumentLink
WCTYPE|wt.part.WTPart~MBA|references@WCTYPE|com.ptc.windchill.
mpml.pmi.AssociativeToSCCLink
* 
The above entries are the associations that are copied over.
For example:
<Property name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.copyOver.create.wt.part.WTPart"

To convert buildrule links to Inherited links use the following procedure (the default is to convert to Content links):
1. Navigate to and open the mpmlink.properties.xconf file, found to the following location:
\Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\mpml\xconfs\mpmlink.properties.xconf
2. Locate the following file:
Property name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.replaceEPMBuildRule.by"
3. Edit the property to read as follows:
<Property name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.replaceEPMBuildRule.by" default="WCTYPE|wt.part.WTPart~MBA|describedBy@WCTYPE|com.ptc.windchill.mpml.pmi.MPMWTPartToEPMDocumentLink"/>
* 
This property controls how EPMBuildRule links (Part-CAD Association type: Owner, Contributing Content, Contributing Image and Image) are copied from an upstream part to its downstream equivalent part when this link type is declared in the copy over framework properties. The default for this property is to convert an upstream EPMBuildRule to a downstream EPMDescribeLink (Part-CAD Association type: Content). It can instead be set to convert an upstream EPMBuildRule to a downstream MPMWTPartToEPMDocumentLink (Part-CAD Association type: Inherited).
To maintain the published representation when iterating parts without iterating the EPM Doc use the following procedure:
* 
This procedure is optional. However, if the default (true) is maintained representations may not always appear after you checkout a part.
1. Navigate to and open the wvs.properties.xconf file, found in the following location:
\Windchill\codebase\WEB-INF\conf\wvs.properties.xconf
* 
Beginning at Windchill 10.2, PTC has changed the location of the wvs.properties and wvs.properties.xconf files. These files have been moved from the $Windchill/codebase directory to the $Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/conf directory. Be sure to make any necessary changes to your code to reflect this location change.
2. Edit the property to read as follows:
<Property value="false" name="publish.copyrepresentationsforward.restrict"/>
Configuring Creo Parametric Options
To configure Creo Parametric options so that system parameters of designated objects are also automatically designated, use the following procedure:
• Navigate to the following option and change the default to yes:
designate_model_item_params
* 
The ask_designate_owners option if set to no, allows you to designate annotation elements without being prompted to also designate the parent annotation. The parent annotation will not be designated.
Updating the Object Adapter Recipe File For Creo Parametric
The publishing of annotations needs to be enabled in the recipe file for Creo Parametric. If not, model annotations will not appear.
For more information on how to do this refer to the Configuring the Creo View Adapter for Creo section of the Creo View MCAD Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide (Creo View Installations- und Konfigurationshandbuch für MCAD-Adapter).
