Windchill System Administrator's Guide

• It has the same name or the name is mapped to a local name, as well as
mapped to the same parent type, unless this type is a root-level type. The
names of hard types cannot be changed.
• It has the same values for the following attributes: instantiable,
userAttributeable, deleted.
• The two types have the same number of attribute.
• The two types have the same set of soft attributes. Two soft attributes are
considered the same if they are of the same IBA type have the same value.
• The two types have the same set of constraints on their attributes as well as
the same set of constraints on the soft type itself.
If a Type matching the above criteria is found in the system, it must be visible to
the context into which the import is being performed.
Organization Level Container Availability
The import action is available to the Organization or Site administrator. Folder
contents can be imported into an organization context. Type Definitions can be
mapped to locally defined type definitions.
Site Level Container Availability
The import action is available to the Site administrator. Folder contents can be
imported into a Site context. Type Definitions can be mapped to locally defined
type definitions.
Controlling the Destinations of Imported Objects with Context Mapping Files
The preceding sections discussed working contexts, which correspond to logical
entities called containers, within which the software organizes objects. The
containers separate objects in different working contexts. The following are
examples of containers:
• Each installation of Windchill PDM has a different context from others, so
each Windchill Foundation installation has its own ClassicContainer.
• In Windchill ProjectLink, each project has a different context from other
projects, so each project is its own Project Context.
• Each organization has a different context from others, so each organization
has its own OrgContainer. For Windchill PDMLink the namespace that is
used is the Site level, and for Windchill ProjectLink the namespace that is
used is the Organization level.
In light of the preceding examples, you can expect objects exported from the
context of a system, project, or organization to be present after import in new
contexts within the system to which they were imported.
