The extension can be installed without starting or stopping the server, however the Windchill Extensions Platform needs to be installed on your server. If you do not have the platform install please follow this guide
The file to install does not need to be present on the server and will be uploaded. It may be a .wex
or a .wexb
extension
The wizard to install will require the user to accept the license terms
Use the following command
windchill com.wincomplm.wex.kernel.commands.WexCommandLineExecutor -u wcadmin -p wcadmin -pid com.wincomplm.wex-deploy -cid deployfile -a -file pathtofile
An extension or many extensions can be installed using the command line
Place the .wexb file or files in this location
WT_HOME/wex/deploy
Then start the shell
From there run the deploy command
dp
Example
Typically a site admin is allowed to deploy and undeploy extensions however by creating a group called
WexAdmin
Users can be add to this group and will have right for all actions in the extension manager.
The O/S must not hold open any folder under the /wex area.
The xconf files must be correct and contain no syntax errors.
Run this command to check the consistency of the files:
xconfmanager -p
