Updating object to latest version of lifecycle?

[tbusch]

Hey folks,

Currently the only way I know of to get an object to pick up changes to a LifeCycle (New states, etc) is by creating a new version of the object. Can someone point me at a utility or API which will allow me to force an object to use the latest LifeCycle without changing versions of the object itself?

Thanks!

Use the Set State function. If it bumps the version up then that is defined
in the lifecycle itself.

This was a discussion subject at the user conference in June; we were able to obtain such a utility from PTC shortly after the conference.

The tool was beta at the time - we worked w/them to confirm error checking & handling, logging, etc. on a test system, then ran it in production for about 700,000 objects a few months ago - all ok since then.

Hi

One can use the following



LifeCycleHelper.service.reassign(lifecyclemanaged,
lifecycletemplatereference)



For resetting the lifecycle template.



Thank you and have a great time.

Not sure if this is what you are after however in 9.1 (m030) you can
select "Actions | Reassign Life Cycles" as an administrator. This will
allow you to pick up the latest changes to a lifestyle.

Randy has the right idea. Do it from --> Actions|ReassignLifeCycles. In 9.0, thisaction is available from the toolbarin seasrch results table aftersearching for some objects as well. I'm not sure about 9.1 however

Hi,

How do I start the life cycle from a specific state?

wt.lifecycle.LifeCycleManaged lcm = wt.lifecycle.LifeCycleHelper.service.reassign((wt.lifecycle.LifeCycleManaged) user, lctr, user.getContainerReference(), SPECIFIC STATE );
