2. Enter either the property name of a specific property you want to modify, a
partial name with asterisk (*) wild card characters to display a subset of the
properties, or just the* to display all properties in the file, and then click
Search.
The table of properties refreshes with the search results.
3. To change the view displayed in the table, you can click Advanced or Basic,
from the Current View drop-down list. The value selected is set in the
wt.sysadm.advancedView property and determines how the property names
are displayed:
– If Advanced is selected, the value is true (default), and property names
are displayed as programmatic names.
– If Basic is selected, the value is false, and property names are displayed as
short descriptions.
In the example that follows, Advanced is selected, which causes properties to be
displayed as programmatic names.
You can edit the Value text fields or click true or false to change the property.
The Default check box, on the right, is checked if the value displayed is the
default value. A blank check box indicates that the Value text field comes from
the properties file or that the value has been changed from the default value.
Select the check box to return to the default value.
If you want to cancel changes you made to the properties value, click Reset, at the
bottom of the page.
When you are satisfied with your changes, click OK to save. Your changes are
written to the site.xconf file and affected property files are regenerated using your
changes. Backup copies of XCONF files are saved in the .xconf-backup directory
where Windchill is installed. Backup copies of the property files are also saved in
the .xconf-backup directory. Examples of backup copy property file names are
tools.000.properties, tools.001.properties, db.000.properties, wt.000.properties,
