Windchill ProjectLink Properties

Use this window to configure your Windchill ProjectLink server settings. Information is written to the wt.properties file, which resides in the Windchill_ProjectLink codebase directory.

Note: When either the wt.properties or db.properties files are updated, the Method Server must be restarted.


Enter information in the following fields:

Fully Qualified Hostname - The hostname that Remote Method Invocation (RMI) client machines use to look up the address of this RMI server. Specify the fully qualified hostname for the local host. If it is not set, the default is to use the local hostname as returned by the java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()method.

Unique Server ID - A unique identifier for a Windchill ProjectLink system. The system name is used to distinguish it from other Windchill ProjectLink systems.

Application URL - The codebase server URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Clients use this URL to load properties or resource files or both from the server. The default is http://$(java.rmi.server.hostname)/ProjectLink.

JVM (Java Virtual Machine) Home Directory - The location where the SDK is installed. Type in the full path or click the Folder icon and use the PTC.Setup navigational tool to specify the home directory.

JVM Execution Command - The command to start a Java Virtual Machine. Keep the default ($(wt.jdk)/bin/java) or supply the full path to where the executable file is located.
