Initiating a Translation Package Creation from a Java workflow expression robot

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: I am looking for a way to initiate the creation of a translation package from a workflow. Is that possible? Are there any Java API's I can use to potentially do this in an expression robot?

There is a public class called TranslationProcess which includes public methods for initiating a translation. The general idea is that you would need to first call an api to create the objects and the baseline, and then call an api "exportTranslationPackage"

com.ptc.tml.utils.TranslationProcess

Thanks! I will look into this and mark it as the solution if it pans out.

There is an OTB workflow that does this already. A custom process can be implemented that initiates a translation package as follows.

org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger logger = org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.getLogger("com.ptc.tml.workflow.CoreWorkflow"); logger.trace("Build Translation Package - entered"); String oldUser = null; wt.inf.container.WTContainer container = null; String targetLang = ""; com.ptc.tml.collection.TranslationCollection collection = com.ptc.tml.collection.TranslationCollection.fromOidString(collectionOid); try { wt.workflow.engine.WfProcess main = (wt.workflow.engine.WfProcess)self.getObject(); final String wfCreator = com.ptc.tml.utils.TMLUtils.getUserName(main.getCreator()); oldUser = com.ptc.tml.utils.TMLUtils.switchSessionPrincipal(wfCreator); userName = collection.getUserName(); outputDir = collection.getOutputDirectory(); container = collection.getContainer(); targetLang = collection.getTargetLanguage(); containerOid = collection.getContainerRef().getKey().toString(); final String sourceLang = collection.getSourceLanguage(); wt.vc.baseline.ManagedBaseline baseline = com.ptc.tml.utils.WorkflowAdapter.createBaseline(collection, log); if (baseline == null) { baselineOid = null; log.addErrorNoDocsToTranslate(); logger.trace("Collection " + collection.getName() + ": " + errorMsg); } else { log = new com.ptc.tml.log.TmlPackageLog(baseline, collection.getSourceLanguage(), targetLang, log); baselineOid = com.ptc.tml.utils.TMLUtils.getReference(baseline); logger.trace("Collection " + collection.getName() + " -> Baseline " + baselineOid); newTranslationPackageName = com.ptc.tml.utils.WorkflowAdapter. createTranslationPackage(baseline, collection.getSourceOid(), sourceLang, targetLang, userName, outputDir, container, log).getAbsolutePath(); if (log.numErrors() == 0) { //Store notification messages successMessage = new StringBuilder(log.toHtmlSummaryString()); warningMessage = new StringBuilder(log.toHtmlWarningString()); } logger.trace("Baseline " + baselineOid + " -> Package " + newTranslationPackageName); } } catch(java.lang.Throwable t) { log.addError("Build Translation Package", t); } finally { if (log.numErrors() > 0) { log.writeErrorLog(); errorMsg = log.toHtmlSummaryString(); } com.ptc.tml.utils.TMLUtils.switchSessionPrincipal(oldUser); } logger.trace("Build Translation Package - exiting");
