Creating Custom Algorithms for Deadline and Health Status
Perform the following steps to create custom algorithms to update the Health Status and Deadline attributes of FloatingBaselineMember objects on the basis of the changes in these attributes or in the related activities:
1. Make the visibility constraint of Deadline and Health Status to read-only.
2. Author a custom handler class.
3. Configure the custom handler class.
 |
If algorithms for the Deadline and Health Status attributes are not configured properly or not present in the system, the values of these attributes are blank for variant baseline objects.
|
Prerequisites
Before you create custom algorithms, perform the following steps:
1. Create baseline objects.
2. Create a customize view for Baselines Objects or Variant Baselines table with the Deadline and Health Status columns. For more information, see Customizing Table Views.
3. Add Health Status and Deadline attributes for Floating Baseline Member type using Type and Attribute Management utility to view these attributes on Variant baseline member attribute pane in Matrix Editor. For more information, see Editing Attribute Layouts.
Setting the Visibility Constraint of Deadline and Health Status to Read-Only
Configure the plan attributes as read-only from the Type and Attribute Management utility using the wt.vc.baseline.FloatingBaselineMember(Floating Baseline Member) visibility constraint to restrict the manual updates through the user interface. For more information, see Viewing and Setting Attribute Visibility.
The administrator can set the visibility constraint to Read/Write in case no customization is required to calculate the values of these attributes, so that these attributes can be updated manually on the corresponding user interfaces.
However, if there is a customization in place and the administrator has set the visibility constraint to Read/Write, then after modifying the values of these attributes on the user interface, the values will be recalculated based on the configured custom handlers when invoked. Otherwise, you can remove the implemented customization to calculate the values of these attributes.
Administrator can take this decision as part of the System Setup.
Authoring a Custom Handler Class
You can use the FBMLPlannableAttributesHandler interface to create the custom algorithm. This interface is defined as follows:
updateFloatingBaselineMemberLinksFromActivity(<Collection of activity objects>);updateFloatingBaselineMemberLinks(<Collection of Floating Baseline Member link objects>);
This interface and the supported APIs can be implemented to plug in the custom algorithms. A sample custom handler in the following example can be a possible custom algorithm that calculates the Deadline and Health Status based on the Deadline and Health Status of the associated Plan Activities:

Configuring the Custom Handler Class
After you author the custom handler, configure it in the xconf file:
1. Add the following entry in this file ${WT_HOME}/Windchill/codebase/com/ptc/projectmanagement/projectmanagement.service.properties.xconf:
<Service context="default" name="com.ptc.projectmanagement.plannable.fbml.FBMLPlannableAttributesHandler">
<Option cardinality="singleton" requestor= "null"
selector = "<internal type name of FloatingBaselineMember>"
serviceClass="<fully qualified handler class name>"/>
</Service>
<Option cardinality="singleton" requestor= "null"
selector = "<internal type name of FloatingBaselineMember>"
serviceClass="<fully qualified handler class name>"/>
</Service>
Entry for the handler implemented in the above example can be:
<!-- Handler for Deadline and Health Status reporting for FloatingBaselineMember -->
<Service context="default" name="com.ptc.projectmanagement.plannable.fbml.FBMLPlannableAttributesHandler">
<Option cardinality="singleton" requestor= "null" selector = "wt.vc.baseline.FloatingBaselineMember"
serviceClass="com.ptc.projectmanagement.plannable.fbml.VWUpdatePlannableAttributesOnFBML"/>
</Service>
<Service context="default" name="com.ptc.projectmanagement.plannable.fbml.FBMLPlannableAttributesHandler">
<Option cardinality="singleton" requestor= "null" selector = "wt.vc.baseline.FloatingBaselineMember"
serviceClass="com.ptc.projectmanagement.plannable.fbml.VWUpdatePlannableAttributesOnFBML"/>
</Service>
2. Run xconfmanager -p in Windchill shell and restart the Method Server.
Custom Handler Guidelines
The following guidelines will help ensure that you author custom handler correctly:
• Always add logging statements at the appropriate locations.
• Whenever possible, use multi-object APIs (APIs that take a collection as an argument rather than an individual object). This helps you avoid calling an API in a loop.
• Custom Handlers should always save variant baseline objects after modification. Handlers should modify Deadline and Health Status only and should not modify any other attribute of Variant Baseline Member Link.
To save the collection of variant baseline objects, use the following multi-object API:
PersistenceHelper.manager.save(fbmlObjects)
To save single variant baseline objects, use following API:
PersistenceHelper.manager.save(fbmlObject)
• Insert below entry in ${WT_HOME}/Windchill/codebase/wt.properties.xconf when you want to customize the delay for executing Schedule Queues to call custom handler for variant baseline member Objects:
<Property name="com.ptc.projectmanagement.plannable.fbml.timeDelayForQueueExecution" default="10"/>
|
|
Default time delay is 10 seconds. The actions invoked from matrix editor would be in sync and this property will not be considered for the matrix editor actions.
|
• Run xconfmanager -p in Windchill shell and restart the Method Server.
• Use the following API to refresh activities collection before performing any update operation on the object:
fbmlObjects = CollectionsHelper.manager.refresh(fbmlObjects)
