I am merging source by using MKS, and I met a efficiency problem with that.I have to resynchronize about 60 change packages this time, After I input all these change packages ID, it cannot show up the merge window ,it seems the MKS is running all the time but get no result.I have been waiting for a whole day and leave the computer opening for a night, this morning it showed me an error message ,so the merging was aborted.I thought I input too much IDs for one time, so I tried input just 5 IDs, it still cannot work. I checked status details, If I canceled ,the report shows all of change packages have been processed. The other actions in mks seem to be normal, so I guess it's not about the Internet speed.Does anyone know why merging change package is so inefficiency?Is there any other way like using the command line interface can improve the speed?Thanks,Jason

Hi,I am using MKS Integrity Server 2009. In which have enabled 'Allow Time Tracking' in all the Workflow Types but we want display time entries for specific users. Kindly suggest to show/hide time entry tab for specific users.RegardsSarath

Hi @all,we're using Integrity 10.2, and this question is about the source-part of it. We've written a helper-tool (in visual basic) as an assistant for our users to help them sharing subprojects into other subprojects. Its more or less just a GUI for some commandline-operations. The first operation (of course) is to connect to an integrity-server. This ist the commandline for this:si connect --hostname=<servername> --port=7001 --guiIn the vb-code it looks like this:sCMD = "si connect --hostname=" + sServer + " --port=" + sPort + " --gui"Shell(sCMD, AppWinStyle.Hide, True)This tool ist now running since more than a year without problems. Now we have one user, which has the following problem: If he uses the helper-tool, he gets following error-message: Can't launch executable. (The Launchanywhere properties file is missing).This error pops up only when using the helper-tool, not if running the commandline directly. I didnt know if its an error from Integrity, from our tool, or from

Is there a command line that attaches a file to a Change Request ?

Hi, These days, I am trying to integrate MKS and Office Project, I followed the instruction of the integration, everything went well except the predecessor field, I could not synchronize it to the Integrity after I entered the predecessor in Office Project, if it does not work, the User have to go to the Integrity set the dependence of the tasks, that would be not convenient, so HOW can I synchronize the predecessor to Integrity.thanks in advance!

Hi all.I do have a problem specifying the correct Hyperlink string for accessing the content of a member stored in SI.We use Hyperlinks like http://mksserver:7001/siro/viewrevision?projectName=/Playground/KM_Work/common/_global_1/project.pj&selection=file_g1.pdfto add a read only reference to either a static ro floating revision in many occasions.Imagine the path above /Playground/KM_Work/common/_global_1/project.pj . This project has two possible top level projects:/Playground/project.pj (with a OpenProject Permission only for Admin Users)and /Playground/KM_Work/common/project.pj (with a OpenProject Permission for Developer Users as well)In contrast to a Flat Path, the Configuration Path is able to tell the difference:#/Playground#KM_Work/common/_global_1/project.pjand#/Playground/KM_Work/common#_global_1/project.pjas the the part between the first two hashes ('#') defines the top level project.Recently the situations added up, where this "Flat Path" definition of the project in t

Hello,I read the Integrity 10.3 Release Notes and wondered if the new RevisionChecksumsEnabled policy and calulated checksum can be used to filter members.At the moment, all members with a different timestamp are shown as deltas, with a text like"Working file newer: 14.02.2013 16:10:55 vs. 08.02.2013 08:24:11"There is no indication if the file is binary identical, but with different timestamp or if the file size is identical, but some characters changed so the file is not binary identical.I would like to see only files that are binary different, like "any member deltas", but "any member checksum deltas".Is this possible or planned?

Hi all,I am new here and i need help on how to use createquery via CLI.

Is there a way to make a field mandatory for a specific group? We are using MKS Integrity 2009 SP5. I now we need to update it with the latest SP.I have a work flow that after intial input the state is set to 'Ownership ID'. An email notification is sent to 5 different groups. Each of the groups has custom fields for their group. Each group has a custom integer and Longtext field that they must provide input to (I.E. the mandatory fields). The state does not change until all 5 groups have provided thier input. How can I do this?

Hi all,I am a HUGE promoter of the PTC System Monitor tool and always upgrade when the latest rev is released. PTC just released PSM 2.1 and it now has the capability to monitor Integrity. The only issue is that the Instructions refer you to "PTC SystemMonitor Installation and Usage Guide – Integrity." You will not find this on the PTC site. You must look for "PTC® System Monitor Installation and Usage Guide PTC System Monitor 2.0 July 17, 2012" version to get the instructions on how to set that up.Though you all would like to know Addition: The fastpack that enables monitoring for Integrity is not included with PSM 2.1. The guide refers to it on pp 43. I have submitted a ticket to resolve the issue moving forward."The PTCFastPacks directoryThe following PTC FastPacks are in the directory:◆ PTCFastPack.9.1.dtp file for supported Windchill 9.1systems.◆ PTCFastPack.10.x.dtp file for supported Windchill 10systems.◆ PTC Integrity FastPack.dtp file for supported Integritysystems.

Hi @all,we have an item (changerequest), in which the user should add already existing items to a new one. The item has one qbr-field for this and one standard-realtionshipfield. The user should drag one item from the qbr-field to the relationship-field, when he has opened the changerequest in edit-mode. But this drag'n'drop works also in the view-mode. So in the worst case a viewing user could build a relationship accidently. How can we prevent this?kind regards, Jens

I'm trying to create a trigger rule that will send an email notification to a higher level manager after an issue has been in a given state for 48 hours.This is like issue escalation. I look at the out-of-the-book escalate.js script, but I do not understand how to use at and it does not allow you to enter an escalation time. What I mean is there is no box to to enter X hours or days before the trigger is fully executed.How can this be done?

I'm new to this PTC Integrity tool and in a learning phase. I'm trying to Edit Issue using - Java API but unable to Edit.While executing the "editissue" command i'm getting errors. Code example:Command cmd = new Command(Command.IM, "editissue");cmd.addOption(new Option("issue id", "616849"));cmd.addOption(new Option("field", "Document Title=XXXXXXX"));Errors:1. This command requires operands: issue id (or)2. Invalid option: "issue id"How to supply the Operand "issue id" to the above IM command "editissue".Would appreciate any suggestions.ThanksBhaskar

Is there a way to write a query in Integrity that will compare dates? (ie. one date greater than another.)

Hi all,I'm looking for a way to close a current gap in the I10.2 implementation.I have a node item type (requirement) that contains a SourceTrace Field (a "trace" not a "link" - meaning that any update to the memberrevision of the trace will be propagated to the Item). This in general works fine.What I'd like to have chance to "react" on these updates by 1. flagging the node item as suspect2. sending an e-mail to the stakeholders Unfortunately the Update is done by some "background magic" and therefore no event is fired during the update of the item.As a result I cannot use a IM trigger based on the usual :compare: field (old value)<>field (new value)schema.As a second though i tried a differnt approach: I wrote a SI triggerscript (see attachment ) that uses the IM "viewsourcetraces" command to get all referenced Items for this member and i then i can process these IDs.I started with a POST trigger, but in that case, the trigger was fired a a moment when the member revision was a

Hi all,Harder question than the last one. I am working with documents and need to pull out the same info as when you export it to Word. I can find everything but the Section number, i.e. 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. ("Section" is what is shown in the GUI when editing).I used "im fields --fields=name,type,description" to get a list of all field names in our system and then used a Python script to send "im issues --fields="xxx"" for every field name that im fields returned. None of the returned info was the section number. It has to be in there somewhere since it is shown in exported documents?I was thinking I could maybe use im exportissues but then I found this in the documenation "For documents, the Section field is not exported." which seems to shoot down that idea. (Tried it anyway, docs are correct...)Would appreciate any suggestions.Thanks,EricPS any better documentation than the CLI Reference for Workflows and Documents and the man command line?

Hi everybody, I errorneously configured a heap value in my Integrity Client that is obviously too big and which resulted in a "Could not create Java VM" error message. As the client does not start anymore, I'd appreciate any help that could tell me where this value can be changed without starting the client (registry, configuration file, ...) or tell me how to restore the client defaults without deinstallation. Regards, Markus

Hi all,Just started to work with the CLI for Integrity 2009 and I can't figure out how to get just the history for an item. im viewissue --showHistory 75941 includes the history with a bunch of other info, any way to get just the history info for the item?My end goal is to get the history for every ID in a document which I would do by looping over the IDs in the document, is there a more elegant way to do this?Thanks,Eric

Hi @all,an example: we have a checkpoint 1.2 with label "Test1". Another user adds another label "Test2,Test3" to this checkpoint. If i want to look via commandline with si viewprojecthistory -P#<projectpath> --rfilter=labeled --fields=labels/<projectpath> than i get this output:Test1,Test2,Test3So i couldnt see if this is one label, or two lables, or three labels. Is there any way to see that there were originally two labels?Thanks, and kind regards, Jens
