We are working on an interface between Windchill and a legacy IT system. In this legacy system Reference Designators are used differently compared to Windchill. For this reason we do not want to interface the legacy data to Occurrences but have our own attribute to store the Reference Designators in a concatenated string at BOM line level.
Because of the amount of Reference Designators, this string can be very long. Windchill has some nice functionality to concatenate the Occurrences to one string while detecting ranges of Reference Designators. This results in much shorter concatenated string.
Now I am looking for the Windchill software code or algoritm to calculate this concatenated Reference Designator. Anyone having this software code? Please help!
