Solution: Teamcenter 9.1 deployment Issue "CreI Error"

CreI aka CreateInput Class:

While creation of each item type, a CreI class of that respective item is created which stores under a CreI POM class.

From TC 9.1 this CreI has been removed. So while deploying 8.3 templates in 9.1 you may encounter an issue related to this "CreI".

Solution:

1. Write an XML containing <Delete> element to delete particular attribute from your 8.3 template.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
