Modified: 18-Dec-2023   


Applies To

  • Windchill PDMLink 9.1 to 12.1

Description

  • How to implement OIR and RuleAlgorithm to generate document number according to constants, IBAs and custom sequences
  • A unique custom sequence should be used per document subtype
  • What is the OIR syntax?
  • How is the wt.rule.algorithm.RuleAlgorithm interface implemented to use the OIR?
  • How to customize self sequence generator class?
  • Exception while implementing custom RuleAlgorithm using OIR
