Below is a small program I created to quickly export all released drawings in Windchill that were already converted to PDFs.
How it Works:
- Reads Config.xml for settings specific to your environment.
- Attempts to connect to Database.
- Queries Database for relevant files.
- Copies vault file to configured export folder.
- Renames exported vault files with appropriate name appending the revision and iteration to each file.
Features:
- Validated in Windchill 11.0 M020 (Should work all the way back to 10.0)
- Exports all drawings converted to PDFs stored as secondary or additional files
- Removes the required prefix in the filename when using additional files publishing
Limitations:
- Only working for Oracle Databases currently
- Only basic user configurations
- Only works on one vault at a time (i.e. will need to run multiple times if using multi-vault environment)
- No error handling
- Only exports PDFs
- Export location must be created manually before running
Requirements:
- Access to the Windchill Server
- Either run directly on the Database server or on the Windchill server with Oracle Client installed
- Database username, password, and service name
- Known location of the master filevault's root folder
- .NET 4.5+ Installed.
How to Use:
- Download file below and extract to server.
- Open Config.xml file in notepad and modify default settings to match your own environment.
- Create export folder in chosen location set in the Config.xml.
- Run ExportReleased.exe.
- Verify chosen folder for exported drawings contains correct files.
