In PDMLink you are not able to prevent objects (wt-parts, PDMLink-documets, CAD objects) to exist in several running ECN:s.
According to PTC it is "Not part of Windchill functionality" (see Document - CS151467).
This behavior causes three main problems for us:
-The last finished ECN “overwrites” the information in the other ECN:s that finished ahead of it (we are carrying a lot of other vital information apart from the objects themselves in our ECN:s).
- Objects in an ECN can suddenly be released due to another ECN being resolved that objects also reside in.
-Information in the ECN is incorrect due to objects in it being changed by another ECN that the ECN owner is unaware of.
This causes a lot of ECN:s needed to be reissued.
The result is a large amount of time and money being wasted.
We would therefore like to prevent objects from being able to exist in more than one running ECN at a time.
Has someone in this community been able to prevent this?
Is someone else in thiscommunity suffering from a problem similar to ours?
