Greg,
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Regarding whether to use the classic IBA method or download service method... either way I would need to create a "hook" or "robot" (unclear on the terminology) to essentially assign values to parameters whether a basic param in Pro/E or a new system parameter when a file is pushed through the workflow. Example, when a drawing is approved for release the person approving would need to have his signature automatically assigned to the APPROVED_BY param or system param maybe called PTC_WM_APPR_BY. Can you either give me an example of what the java code looks like and where it goes or an example of such?
Thanks.
