Step 2: Create Action

Below are the steps given to add an action:

Create two new files [Link] and custom-actionModels

1. Add your action in <windchill>/codebase/config/actions/[Link]

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE listofactions >

<listofactions>

<objecttype name="brahimaction" >

<action name="myAction" resourceBundle="[Link]">
<command class="[Link]" method="createPart"/>
</action>
</objecttype>

</listofactions>

2. Make the action entry in <windchill>/codebase/config/actions/custom-

[Link]
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE actionmodels >

<actionmodels>

</actionmodels>
3. Create a Java file [Link] that holds resource
bundle information.
package [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

@RBUUID("[Link]")
public class brahimActionRB extends WTListResourceBundle {

@RBEntry("Create Part brahim")

public static final String Create_PART_TITLE = "[Link]";

@RBEntry("Create Part brahim")

public static final String Create_PART_description = "[Link]";

@RBEntry("[Link]") // <WT_HOME>/codebase/netmarkets/images
public static final String MY_ICON = "[Link]";

@RBEntry("Create Part brahim Tooltip")

public static final String MY_TOOLTIP = "[Link]";

4. Create a Java file [Link] that holds class to create

new part.
package [Link];
import [Link];

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
public class CustomClass {

public static void createPart(NmCommandBean ncb ) throws WTException, WTPropertyVetoException {

[Link]("************************************** hello *************************************");
WTPart part = [Link]();
String number = "0000005002";
String name = "TestPartbrahimaction";
[Link](number);
[Link](name);
[Link](part);
}
}

Restart method server in any class modification
