Displaying Custom Tables in PSB
Custom tables can be displayed on the Attributes tab in PSB. The following procedure serves as an example for displaying custom tables in PSB:
1. For this example, create a folder named customTable in Windchill/codebase/netmarkets/jsp.
2. Copy the sample customTable.jsp and customTable3.jsp in the Windchill/codebase/netmarkets/jsp/customTable folder. The examples of customTable.jsp and customTable3.jsp are provided below.
3. Add the following property in the site.xconf file:
<Property name="displayCustomJSPInAttributesTab" overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/wt.properties" value="customTable/customTable"/>
4. Run the xconfmanager -Fp from Windchill shell.
5. Restart the Method Server.
6. Verify that the custom tables are displaying in the Attributes tab of PSB.
