In the OOTB Change Request workflow, we have the number field set to Auto generate.
In the OIR for Change Request, we have the following lines for the number field.
<AttrValue id = "number"
algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator"
ignore="false" force="false" final="false"
<Arg>CR-</Arg>
<Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:WTCHANGEREQUESTID_seq:5:0}</Arg>
</AttrValue>
When we create new Change Requests, we get a random higher than-the-last number for the change request and what we are looking for is a controlled sequential numbering scheme.
Last week, I created 3 CRs, CR-00021, CR-00023 and CR-00041. This week, the next one created was CR-00061.
What do I need to change in the OIR to get the system to give me a steady sequential numbering scheme? If Windchill cannot do it automatically, we may have to fall back to a manually entered numbering scheme from an external database which we are trying to replace with Windchill Change Management. We do not want to maintain 2 systems for tracking changes.
