If you know the object or objects for which you want to undo the checkout, you can perform the undo checkout action on an object from either the Folders page of your product or library, or from the information page for the checked out object.

Importing and Exporting Information

You can import information into a product or library, and export information to a local file system. The import/export facilities support information exchange with another Windchill server or non-Windchill system. These utilities read and write system information in an XML format. For more information about import and export, see the Export and Import chapter of the PTC Windchill Enterprise Administration Guide.

The workflow and life cycle administration utilities accessible to the site and organization administrator integrate the import and export functions with administering workflows and life cycles.

Configuring External Vaults or Replication Sites to Optimize Performance

You can configure the vaulting and replication rules for the external file and replica sites established by the site administrator.

When external vaults are configured, document and part content is stored on a file system rather than in the database. This configuration can provide significant upload performance improvements and is appropriate when the site is frequently used to exchange large files (such as CAD model files).

By default, external storage rules are based on individual domains in each context. You can launch the Vaulting Rules utility from the Utilities File Server Administration page in the context of a product or library. The utility allows you to create vaulting rules for the domains - /System and /Default - associated with the context in which the client is launched.

Note

The rules needed for setting up an external file vault for a product or library are not inherited from the site.
