Problem Statement

Windchill Business Objects are numbered – e.g. they have unique IDs. These numbers are generated by number generators configured by object initialization rules in Windchill.

When creating new business objects, it is often desired to fetch the next generated number from the Windchill system.

Goal

To provide a abstract API to fetch a new number based on a Business Object Type.

Non-Goals

We don’t want to hard-code e.g. Oracle Sequence names. Number generators are often customized – we need to use the Windchill API to correctly get a number.
