The Windchill product or library administrators have the possibility to enable OSLC Configuration Management on a product or a library. When enabled, OSLC Windchill Contexts, which are also set up at the product or library level, will be able to participate to Global Configurations.
Windchill contexts rely on Windchill filters to resolve which parts are valid in a given configuration context.
For products or libraries where OSLC Configuration Management is not enabled, there needs to be a default filter to resolve the right part versions. That is why the Windchill administrator is required to set up the following property:
Latest Default View select the view to get the latest parts from when processing a request without any global configuration context.
Default value when not set: "Design".
The Administrator at Product or Library level has the ability to set Global Configurations, create Windchill Contexts and perform Project Associations.
It is possible to select the Windchill role that will be used as OSLC administrator. By default the roles Product Manager and Library Manager will be used.
