Hello,This is my first time with MKS. We are using MKS Integrity Client, on windows XP. Installation of mksClient.bin runs fine, but anything I try, I get the following error. Attempt to launch MKS Integrity Client Timed out. To solve this please try the following:- Verify that the user you are logged in as has read and write permissions to the Integrity Client install directory.- Make sure the Integrity Client install directory is the very first entry in the path.I'm able to read/write in integrity client install directory, so that cannot be the issue. Please provide your comments

Hi!I am using Integrity 10.5 version. There are following functions available in the menus:Item-menu / Launch commenting viewDocument-menu / Create Review session...Comment-menuCreate commentRemove commentApprove documentReject documentBut all of these functions are non-active and I can't find a way to enable these functions.

Hi there,Looking to upgrade to our Integrity server (currently at 10), and one of the features we want to use is the revisioning of items introduced in 10.1.As far as I know the labels could not be exported to Word documents via the Gateway in version 10.Does anyone know if the new major and minor revisions at the item level can be exported to Word docs? This would be extremely important to our workflow for both documents, and each content item within the documents, as we still rely heavily on the exported Word docs for distribution.Thanks!

Hello, This is my first time with MKS. We are using MKS Integrity Client, most of us are using windows client. I'm on a mac and would like to setup my development environment in a VM, preferably a linux flavor. I'm currently using centos 6.5 32 bit. Installation of mksClient.bin runs fine, but anything I try, I get the following error. ./si gui./si: Attempt to launch MKS Integrity Client Timed out. To solve this please try the following:- Verify that the user you are logged in as has read and write permissions to the Integrity Client install directory.- Make sure the Integrity Client install directory is the very first entry in the path.I'm able to read/write in integrity client install directory, so that cannot be the issue. I do not know how setting up path is of any relevance when starting up the client. Could this be some kind of connection issue? I'm able to launch web version, web services, etc. at the given host/ip:port. Any pointers? Best,Srikrishna

Hi,we want to implement the newest ALM Solution with automated testing into our integrity server. For testing we use Squish. Is there anybody who implemented already an adapter between ATEF and Squish and wants to share it?

Hi all,I have found information about ALM solution PTC Integrity. I would like to learn more about it. Could ypu provide any details about its implementation. How does it work? Wheteher it worth to implement it? Are there any problems with its implementation?Thanks a lot!

In evaluating the PTC Integrity tool, we are concerned with the volume of that can the tool can handle that is not particularly limited by bandwidth or server capacity, but regarding practical usage or implementation limits. Are there limits on the number of items/types, projects, archives, labels, checkpoints...?

We are evaluating the PTC Integrity tool, and we have a databased system for tracking files for projects and a very flat means of tracking files in a repository by individual files/branches/versions. Thus we clash heavily when because Integrity's Projects are doing much the same. In the PTC Integrity training I've done so far, mentioned but not expounded upon is the Archive. I suppose an archive is just a container for (or simply a database object to track) versions of a file, any labels or special attributes that may be associated with the file, and the content of the file. Are there any commands that would allow users to extract files by version, check-in files, check-out files, and build sandboxes from specific versions of files or by label with respect to the Archive rather than via the Project?We have a very complex system where the Project level might apply easily at a subsystem level, but it gets overwhelming "fast, quick and in a hurry" when we combine that complexity with the

We have recently added an additional Integrity server for staging and deployment which caused us to lock down the production server. When adding new users to our Integrity system, we currently have to import them from LDAP, and then use the Integrity Admin Migration Wizard to move the new user to the production environment.Is there an easier way to accomplish this task of adding a new user to production?

I don't know if this has been asked before, but I'm trying to get hold of the latest version of implementer update program to apply ptfs/our upgrade to 10.3.Search for "Implementer Update" really isn't going to ever win any prizes, so I just thought I'd try and put the question out there.I've install 10.3, but now I'm trying to get the installer for others to be able to use. The manual says that its on the IFS /mks/implementer/ptcim, but the version I've got there is the older 1.0.4 which won't allow anyone to install the 10.3 ptf.I've tried to go through the PTC product download pages, but .. i won't use the word tosh.. they've been unhelpful if anyone can give me an easy way to get hold of the implementer update 1.0.5+ then i'd be grateful.cheers

This has been a question which gets asked of PTC Support time and again. Unfortunately there is no *good* way to do it with out-of-the-box Integrity functionality so I am making this blog post to share with everyone what one of our largest Workflows and Documents customers has done. If you have worked with Integrity for some amount of time, you know that if you can dream it, you can build a system to track it.Attached is a Powerpoint presentation outlining the basic set-up of one customer's process with a few redactions and rewording to remove sensitive data. At a high level, here is what they did:Created a new type to hold data about each admin object in the system (Admin Objects).Created an IBPL field backed with those items to make a nice drop-down list of objects to choose when tracking their changes.Created a couple types to track the user requests and actual configuration work details ('Change Request' from end users and 'Integrity Dev Task' for the admin team to break-down the w

Hi @all,i'm searching for a way to get information about all our users and their groups. Especially in source this seems not to be so easy. So i tried the commandline:aa usersand i get many, many users, but not all. Why? Which parameter prevents user "A" from being shown by "aa users", and user B not?Second try: i dont know whether the group "everyone" is an out-of-the-box-group in integrity or not, but all of our users are members of this group. So i thought i could use this line:aa groups --member everyonebut i didnt get any user. Why?With any other group i get a full list of members of this group, but since not every user is in every group this is a mess.With:im usersi get another list of users, but i know that it cannot be a complete list. This list has less members than the list from "aa users", but there are members shown by "im users" which are not shown by "aa users". ??? I dont know what i can believe?Is there any hidden parameter for "aa users" or "aa groups" to show me all u

How can I lock down a branch in Integrity ?

Hello,I am using MKS Java API to creat Sandbox/drop Sandbox for a project. The code works fine in my local (win7+Integrity10 client+hotFix s100000000-022). However, when I tested in an AIX server (the server has Intergrity10 client +HotFix s100000000-022), the same code always throw exception. I tested si command from aix command line and it worked fine. All enviornment varibles are set as builder guide/user guide suggested. By the way, I tested si command from AIX command line and the si command worked without any issue.The following is the exception:java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load apiclientrunner at com.mks.connect.ClientCmdRunnerImpl.(ClientCmdRunnerImpl.java:53) at com.mks.connect.UserApplicationSessionImpl._createCmdRunner(UserApplicationSessionImpl.java:546) at com.mks.connect.CmdRunnerCreatorImpl.createCmdRunner(CmdRunnerCreatorImpl.java:90) =================================================================================The following is my code:cmdRunner = ipf.creat
