Class SetConfiguration

  wt.clients.workflow.definer.SetConfiguration

public class SetConfiguration

extends Object

SetConfiguration is an utility to allow the user to change execution characteristics of an activity or process template in an individual basis.

Call the utility from a DOS window appropriately set with Windchill environment. The command to call is

 java wt.clients.workflow.definer.SetConfiguration
 

The utility presents two lists of templates and a menu with 6 options. The first list shows all existing process templates; the second the activity templates of the selected template. Initially the first process template is the selected. After the template name the configuration mask (in hexadecimal notation) is shown between parenthesis. The configuration mask is a 64-bit long number that represents internally the execution characteristics of the activity or process. Each execution characteristic correspond to a bit. It is shown to provide feedback to the customer that the configuration has changed. This configuration is initially set up with values defined in the wt.properties file. After the lists of templates comes a menu with 6 options. The last two are to read again the templates and exit. The others allow the userto select a process or activity template and edit it.

If the edit menu is selected (activity or process), the list of execution properties is displayed. The initial numbered options (1 to 29) correspond to a execution properties. Please refer to the properties.html file for the definition of these properties. Not all properties are meaningful for activities. For example, properties 1 to 6 only apply to processes. They have no effect to activities. In the same way, there are properties that are relevant only to activities and even others that are specific to assigned activities (for example, "reassign on overdue").

The change the value of an property simply select it. If it was 'false' it becomes 'true' and vice-versa. When all modifications are performed, the user can save the template and return, by selecting option '31.' Partial savings can be done with '30.' '32' returns to the previous menu without saving the changes since the last save. There is no "undo" otion.

Note: It is required that the process templates be checked out and there is no open process to be able to change a property. An exception is thrown if these conditions are not met.
