Explicit Parameter-to-Attribute Mapping In order to explicitly map Pro/ENGINEER designated parameters to Windchill IBAs, entries must be added to the iba.properties file on the server. The iba.properties file can be found at the following location: $WT_HOME\codebase\com\ptc\prowt\proesvcs\util Using the xconfmanager, add a line to the iba.properties file, in the following format: = Examples: • To map a Pro/ENGINEER designated parameter MCOST to a leaf node IBA (with no children) named MfgCost in Windchill, the entry is as follows: MCOST=MfgCost • To map a Pro/ENGINEER designated parameter named VENDORCOST onto a child node IBA named VendorCost (with a parent IBA named TotalCost) in Windchill, the entry is as follows: VENDORCOST=TotalCost|VendorCost Parameter names in Pro/ENGINEER are not case-sensitive; however, the mapping in the iba.properties file must contain the name of the parameter in uppercase. Windchill IBAs are case-sensitive and should always be mapped accurately for the mapping to work correctly. Implicit Parameter-to-Attribute Mapping Implicit parameter-to-attribute mapping occurs when there is an IBA in Windchill with a name (all uppercase) identical to the name of a designated parameter in a Pro/ENGINEER model file and there is no entry for the Pro/ENGINEER designated parameter in the iba.properties file. When the Pro/ENGINEER model file is uploaded into Windchill as content of a CAD document, the values of the Pro/ENGINEER parameter are transferred to the Windchill IBA. Upload Behavior for Attribute Mapping On upload, the service first looks for a mapping in the iba.properties file. The Pro/ENGINEER designated parameter name in the properties file must always be in upper case. If a mapping does not exist, or if the properties file itself does not exist, the Pro/ENGINEER designated parameter is converted to upper case and the service looks for an IBA definition by this name. If an IBA definition is not found, the upload service reports a conflict. All conflicts are reported in the Event Console in terms of the Pro/ENGINEER designated parameter name. 10-10 Windchill System Administrator’s Guide
Download Behavior for Attribute Mapping On download, the reverse is done; that is, the IBA name is mapped to the Pro/ENGINEER designated parameter name. It is possible that two or more Pro/ENGINEER designated parameters map to a single IBA. In this case, the Pro/ENGINEER designated parameter that is last among those that map to a common IBA is chosen. Note: Once added to the iba.properties file on the server side, IBA-to-designated parameter mappings should not be removed or modified. Doing so might affect the models already stored in the Windchill database (including historical data and released designs), particularly if such models have IBA values modified through the Windchill user interface (as opposed to modifications done in a Pro/ENGINEER session). For the same reason, new mappings should be added only for Pro/ENGINEER designated parameters that do not exist yet in the models already stored in the Windchill database. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that: • The Windchill server administrator adds any new mappings as part of the process of adding new IBA definitions in Windchill. • Workgroup Manager for Pro/ENGINEER and Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire PDM users do not designate Pro/ENGINEER parameters which are not mapped (implicitly or explicitly) onto a Windchill IBA; the upload service provides warnings in the Event Console in such cases, and users are encouraged to undesignate the parameters in Pro/ENGINEER and upload the models again. Customizing the Parameters in the Download Service Windchill provides a server-side delegate that can be used to insert parameters into a Pro/ENGINEER model upon download. This mechanism can be used to pass information from the server down to Pro/ENGINEER, where it can be used like any other Pro/ENGINEER parameter (for example, to place information on drawing forms). Parameters beginning with “PTC” or “PROI” are regarded as reserved system parameters and cannot be propagated by the customization. If they are added in the customization, they are ignored by the download service. Note: The customized parameters are provided to the client upon download and, unlike system parameters such as PTC_WM_ITERATION, are not updated in the Pro/ENGINEER session or the local cache after a Windchill operation (for example, check in). For example, if a customized parameter is assigned the value of the CAD document number, its value is provided to the client upon model download. If the CAD document is later renumbered, the value in the Pro/ENGINEER session or the client cache will not be automatically updated. Customizing and Administrating Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 10-11
