=============================================================================================

Java class to read a Windchill Windu (Windchill Diagnostic Utility) Domain Policy Rule output file
(DomainPolicyRule.txt)
& create multiple text files (for ACL viewing) & loadfromfile xml files.

Method to pass ACL (Access Control List) from 1 server to another. Same functionality as export from one server
& loadfromfile on another. But there is no such functionality in Windchill for the ACL Access Policy area. So this
tool is very functional for server/install move/rehost &/or upgrades.

One is its benefits of this program is that if you try to manually duplicate ACL’s from one system to another, it’s
very hard from a Policy Administrator page/applet. Especially if you have years of ACL’s to pass across. It’s also
very hard to read a long DomainPolicyRule.txt file. But this program helps by splitting up the
DomainPolicyRule.txt into separate Domain/Container files. All same format as DomainPolicyRule.txt.

[/wt.inf.container.OrgContainer=Demo Organization]/Default/Project – separate text file.

[/wt.inf.container.OrgContainer=Demo Organization]/Default/PDM – separate text file.
[/wt.inf.container.OrgContainer=Demo Organization]/Default – separate text file.

The best part of this program is that it generates 1 long xml for loadfromfile on new server/install, which can be
ran from one loadfromfile command:

windchill wt.load.LoadFromFile -d DataFile.xml -u wcadmin -p wcadmin -CONT_PATH /

But it also creates a separate loadfromfile xml for every Domain/Container, where xml format is:

<csvAccessRule handler="wt.load.LoadUser.createAccessRule">
<csvuser></csvuser>
<csvdomain>[/]/</csvdomain>
<csvtypeId>wt.fc.WTObject</csvtypeId>
<csvpermission>+</csvpermission>
<csvprincipal>Administrators</csvprincipal>
<csvpermissionList>-1</csvpermissionList>
<csvstate>ALL</csvstate>
</csvAccessRule>

Another benefit is that the loadfromfile command line needs no CONT_PATH argument, because the xml
contains the full <csvdomain> path.

Readme File: http://www.datajett.com/windchill/wc_dev/ACL_Windu_2_XML_TXT/readme.txt

Zip with java source, class, sample DomainPolicyRule.txt & sample output files (xml & txt)

http://www.datajett.com/windchill/wc_dev/ACL_Windu_2_XML_TXT.zip

Run Windu from Windchill shell & point this java class to the newly created DomainPolicyRule.txt file.

Command line from Windchill shell would be:

java ext.ACL_Windu_2_XML_TXT <WT_HOME>\WinDU\logs\<Folder containing desired DomainPolicyRule.txt>

Latest Windchill 9.X WCA (Windchill Client Architecture) Sample:

http://www.datajett.com/windchill/wc_dev/AttributesReport/AttributesReport.zip

It should be placed in your IE (InfoEngine) JSP folder: <WT_HOME>\codebase\infoengine\jsp\ or sub folder of

choice (ext).

AttributesReportRad_1.0.jsp is the latest/most enhanced version. The program uses WCA & its new UI tag
libraries for radio buttons & table (jca:getModel & jca:renderTable).

Its functionality is to allow selection (radio buttons) of any/all Windchill object types & display with the new WCA
table renderer. Mainly for Windchill development/admin usage, but shows usage of the new WCA.

attr2name = windchill java method to query &/or rename windchill name attribute to be the same as another
existing proe/windchill attribute. Some firms have had name & number same (after migration or such), where they
actually prefer the object/model name attribute to be more descriptive of what the part/assy does.

So this program allows an admin to change object/model name attribute to be the same as a more descriptive
attribute, such as TITLE or DESCRIPTION.

Here is the readme link on how command line usage:

Windchill Database Object Rename Program (Command Line Java Method):

Can rename whole windchill database epm-doc & wtpart objects:

Rename project: http://www.datajett.com/windchill/wc_dev/lj_cust/ObjMan_06.zip

Some companies choose to auto truncate the extension on their cad data files (epm-docs) & wtparts, through ini
file settings:

<WT_HOME>\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\cadx\cfg\default\cadxhtmlui.ini

UploadDropNameFileExtension=true
UploadDropNumberFileExtension=true
AutoAssociateDropNameFileExtension=true
AutoAssociateDropNumberFileExtension=true

This tool was generated to rename existing whole windchill database & all it's objects *epm-doc & wtparts
number fields, prior to changing to truncate method as described above:
Command line (to query objects 1st):

java lj_cust.ObjMan_06 -qb %.DRW

java lj_cust.ObjMan_06 -qb %.ASM
java lj_cust.ObjMan_06 -qb %.PRT

Command line (to rename objects 1st):

java lj_cust.ObjMan_06 -rb %.DRW

java lj_cust.ObjMan_06 -rb %.ASM
java lj_cust.ObjMan_06 -rb %.PRT

run program without arguments to see Usage:

java lj_cust.ObjMan_06

The rename program will rename all data files/objects that previously contained file extensions.

It renames windchill epm-doc (drw, prt, asm) & wtpart objects to truncate the extension of the windchill oracle
number field.

from: xxx1.prt, xxx2.asm & xxx?.drw

to: xxx1, xxx2 & xxx?.D (can be modified to a different extension for drawings = _D, ???)

Some firms link to name their asm & prt files the same for integrated/inseparable parts. This program will rename
the .PRT to .P, so there is no duplicate objects numbers:
