Windchill System Administrator's Guide

Property Description
wt.doc.primaryContentRequired=true (Windchill PDMLink only) Identifies whether
primary file is a required field for Windchill
PDMLink documents. Since the reason Windchill
PDMLink documents exist is to hold file content,
the default value is true. This value should be set to
false only if there is a reason for Windchill
PDMLink documents to exist without any primary
content.
These properties reside in the wt.properties file. Use the xconfmanager utility to
display existing values or set values for these properties. For details on using the
xconfmanager, see Using the xconfmanager Utility.
See Windchill Configuration Properties for descriptions of all available
properties.
Adding and Updating Data Formats
Adding Data Formats
When content files are added to a content holder object, the format of the file
(based on the file name extension) is set automatically upon upload. The available
formats are stored as DataFormat objects in the system. In some cases, you may
need to augment or change the existing data formats to accommodate additional
MIME types associated with your enterprise data.
A data format:
• Sets the MIME type when a file is downloaded.
• Supplies the icon that will represent the object in browser displays.
• Informs the user of the file format.
You can use a command-line utility, provided by Windchill, to maintain data
format objects.
Use the following command to add a data format to the system:
java wt.content.DataFormatUtil -add
You are then prompted to provide values for the following attributes:
Attribute Description
Format name (required) Displays this name (for example, Microsoft Word) in the client to
identify the file format. The value specified must be unique.
