Although I currently do have a way to export all files from Windchill (CAD and Documents), I am limiting the scope and splitting the projects into two because each set of data has its own needs.

The "Windchill Filevault Decrypter" will now be known as "Windchill Document Exporter".

You can take a look at all the details on the new permanent project page here.

Overview:
A new project I am currently working on is a way to export all files from the Windchill filevault.  This could be used to recover files from a database and vault backup without having to restore Windchill to an earlier point in time.

Requirements:

• Starting with Documents
  • All Documents are exported
  • All Documents must have the correct version added to the filename (Revision and Iteration)
  • Documents must be placed in a folder structure mirroring that of Windchill i.e. Organization -> Project/Product -> Subfolder(s)
  • Export the Documents in a way that can be easily imported into another Windchill system with all history.

Status:
A working prototype has been made that can currently export a test system with 5,700 Documents in under 13 min without the subfolder structure.  Adding the subfolder structure significantly adds time to the export.  I am working on a way to reduce this time by optimizing the code.  The import function is currently being investigated.
