Description
- This is an example of the WVS Afterloader hook method that can start as a post publish job after WVS completes publishing of a new representation.
- After the EDRLoader successfully creates a new representation, a custom method can be called to perform additional work.
- For example, setting ad hoc permissions on the new representation. Refer to the publish.afterloadermethod property definition in the wvs.properties.xconf file in your Windchill installation for more details
- This article provides sample code for this hook that will enable you to rename Additional files published via WVS Publish Rules to add source Windchill Revision or Version number.
- Two key elements to know about this implementation before deploying in your system:
- This article is intended to rename only additional files and NOT the primary viewable file. See CS333616 to understand the importance of this instruction.
- The sample code in this article is designed to work with EPM Document only.
