Windchill Filevault Decrypter

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.
