Testing

To test the settings, open a browser and navigate to the application as configured in IIS. The Web Review application URL is in the form https://<server>:<port>/webreviewer?docNbr=<document_number> where server and port are those configured for the application and document_number is a valid Windchill Dynamic Document Object Number. A valid URL will prompt you to log in similar to that of Web Editor:
  1. Verify the Position Recovery Services is configured correctly by testing its health. The URL is the Position Recovery Service server and port that have been previously defined plus /api/health”. For example https://<servername>:8082/api/health. If successfully configured, the URL will return a JSON file containing service information.
  2. If the Windchill URL was not configured, provide the Windchill Server URL
  3. Provide your Windchill User name and Password.
  4. Click Connect to log in.
    The document corresponding to the document_number parameter is displayed. If more than one document corresponds to the document_number parameter, it will display the first one of the dynamic document type specified in the Windchill configuration.
