Run the epw_update_stx_elements utility

The epw_update_stx_elements utility lets you systematically find the operation and process revisions that contain work instructions that reference a specific HTML element in Teamcenter, and then update the preview files offline rather than singly online.

Procedure

1. In My Teamcenter, create a change notice and add the standard HTML element revisions to the change notice’s Problem Items folder.

2. Apply the release status to the change notice revision.

3. Create or identify a saved revision rule that will configure the released revision of the standard HTML elements.

4. Identify or create one or more saved revision rules that will configure the revisions of the operations and processes whose work instructions need to be updated. You may use more than one rule, such as a latest working rule and a rule for the most recently released and exported revisions.

5. Run the utility to search for processes and operations, specifying as input the change notice ID, the revision rule names, logon credentials, and the findImpacted argument.
   Upon completion of the search, the change item's Impacted Items folder contains any process and operation revisions whose work instructions need to be updated. If necessary, you can review and modify the list.
   Run the utility again to update the textual work instruction preview files, this time using the updateImpacted argument. Send the updated process and operation revisions in the Impacted Items folder to downstream applications for export.
