Thanks Gary. Can you unpack these parts a little bit for me? Of course this is assuming I did know what the hexadecimal number for a particular model is before its deleted...
"What you need to be able to do is translate from Windchill name to the underlying name of vault filename - this is usually a hexadecimal number and you can see all these files in the Windchill Vault filesystem."
- I think I know how to get this value from the info page of a model in the browser address. For instance, the number for this model is 1426187158334 http://mn-pdm01.bench.com/Windchill/app/?iemem=1426187158334#ptc1/tcomp/infoPage?oid=VR%3Awt.epm.EPMDocument%3A5922553&C…
"It would then be possible to find the file in the filesystem of your Windchill Vault as they don't get deleted at the filesystem level even if deleted in Windchill, unless you perform a "remove un-referenced files" using the vault admin tool."
- Are you suggesting I could find the file using Windows Explorer and browsing to the vault folder? If I look at the server I can go to F:\Windchill_vault_folder\FvContent\efv_folder_Folder_1\ and see a list of files, but the number above is not in that folder.
- Or are you referring to a utility or other vault admin tool?
Thanks
Tom
