Hi, I have a normal sandbox, where I'm checking-out, modifying and then checking-in various files, and also I can add files or I can drop files. The question is:How could I bring in this normal sandbox, all the files that belong to a particular checkpoint I've made in the past ? After bringing the files from the checkpoint in my normal sandbox, of course I want to be able to continue my work, i.e modify,  check-in, add, drop files etc. Thank you! 

Sample scenario:- Project A contains member X at revision 1.1.- Project B contains member X shared from archive. At present it's at Rev 1.1.In Project A, I rename X to Y,  this creates Rev 1.2.In Project B, the history of X shows rev 1.2 and that it's the result of renaming but nothing has changed yet.Now in B, I perform "update member revision" on X. This results in 1.2 being the new revision, but the name doesn't change: Project A contains Y at Rev 1.2 and B contains X at Rev 1.2.But really, by updating member revision in B I wanted to accept the result of creating Rev 1.2 which was the new name Y.Now, if I want the new name in project B, I have to rename the member and I get Y at Rev 1.3 in B.Project A still shows Y at Rev 1.2, so I have to update member revision there.In the end, I have two revisions for one shared member just because I want to keep them in sync.Is there a better way to rename a shared member that avoids creating too many revisions?I've tried to see if using a

I am trying to create a mapping template that would extract from a Test Suite all its Test Cases and related Test Steps.   I have a template that I can run over the Test Suite to extract all the test cases and I have another template that can extract all Test Steps based on a query.   I would like to be to use the Excel integration to populate a spreadsheet with each test cases and its related test steps. Then be able to update them in Excel and upload them back into Integrity.   I can't seem to be able to combine the two templates so the Document ID is inputted in configuration template - Document Properties and the test cases are populated into a spreadsheet along with their related Test Steps.   I am currently using Integrity 9 SP7.   Thanks

Hi everybody! I am looking for an advice or your experience. How do you support the procedure of requirements deletion? I mean that I need to store a record of rationale for deletion of each requirement (Change Request ID or other information in text format) and when the spec is being exported to Word the list of deleted requirements in current revision should be generated.

Hi ,Can anyone guide me how can i  extract content of a requirement using command line in Windchill Rv& S 12.4 version. Thanks for your help! 

Hi I know we can use im viewsegment to display a document view with some content of interestThis opens a new window with the filter Is there any im command where the user can simply update the existing view ( for eg, im gui will open the current view ). i.e just refresh or update the current view with a new filter ( using im commands ) ? Best regards

FileVault Documentation is speaking of "Fileserver" only.Can also Object Storage (S3) be used?See also https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Ideas/PTC-support-on-Oracle-Object-Storage-for-Vault/idi-p/691777 

Hi all, I'm looking for a idea how to prevent my integrity server from being "blocked" by along running process during a scheduled trigger.Use case:I have a schedule IM trigger that runs every midnight. It shall checkpoint a certain number of LARGE SI projects, so our developers can at least "step back" on a daily basis.Currently I use the SI project bean to create the checkpoint, which generally works fine; but as long as the checkpoint process is running, no other IM trigger can be processed .So i wonder if there is a way to "fork" the checkpoint process from the trigger script. I do not need any response value, as I simply trust in Integrity to do it's job .I've tried to start a separate OS process and using the command shell API to to the job.Unfortunately this requires an installed Integrity Client on my Server machine. I appreciate any idea.

Hi all, my problem seems to be sooo simple, yet I struggle with the details.   The GOAL: - implement an one way interface between PTC RV&S (12.3 ++) and an external webservice that offers a RestAPI  ("fire & forget")   Approach: - a rule based post event trigger shall fire in case the PTC item reaches a certain state. - the custom JS trigger script transfer the ID of a PTC item to an external webservice as follows: 1. prepare the POST message containing the ID as a JSON format 2. sends the data to a (hardcoded) URL 3. receive the response and log success OR error    The PROBLEM: - inside the custom JS trigger code step 1 is easy, but the actual sending of the POST request seams to be extremely tricky   I tried to use the  mks.frame.triggers.beans.ScriptProcessBuilderBean - to create a mks.frame.triggers.beans.ScriptProcessBean - that should run a CURL command performing the actual webrequest   As this did not work I tried&n

Hiis it possible in ptc integrity trigger to programmatically through trigger setfieldvalue a mks html text ?i.e programmitcally set a fieldvalue with mks formatted text ? Attempt to create a table in the richtext field with table ?setFieldValue(myField,"<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 28px;"><tbody><tr style="height: 14px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 14px;"><b>test</b></td><td style="width: 50%; height: 14px;"><b>test123</b></td></tr><tr style="height: 14px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 14px;">test</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 14px;">test123</td></tr></tbody></table>");

Hello team, I need to know the possible inputs to Windchill Requirements Connector apart from the following1. Requirement Management tool ILM2.

Hi, I am trying to create a new Type in RV&S. Steps I performed to create the new type:New Type (similar to Input Domain): Need Document, Need, Shared Need Step 1: Created new fields (as required)Steps 2: Create Shared Need (created a copy of "Shared Input" type), made other changes to shared need like document model, added new attribute to visible field and presentation template, etcSteps 3: Create Need (created a copy of "Input" type), made other changes to shared need like document model, constraints, added new attribute to visible field and presentation template, etcSteps 4: Create Need Document (created a copy of "Input Document" type), made other changes to shared need like document model, constraints, added new attribute to visible field and presentation template, etcStep 5: Configured the relationships (Need , Need Document to Project, Requirement, Change Order, Defect, etc)After following all the above steps, I tried creating a Need Document. However wh

Apologies in advance, if this is not the correct place to post a question against Windchill Modeler (v9.3)When I select a SysML Use Case and then view the Text Tab in it’s Properties Pane, I can only see pulldowns for the Intent, Description and “Alternate Courses” properties. Per the Use Case (Dictionary item) supported properties, it’s missing the “Post Conditions”, “Pre Conditions”, “Timing Note” and “Visibility”. How can I include and populate these missing properties?  Thanks for any help!

Hey guys, I want to extend my model items with a stereotype and some Tag Definitions. One of those Tag Definitions is an "ID". I am looking for a way how the ID gets updated by "+1" every time I apply the stereotype to a model item. Do you know a way how to do so?Many thanks in advance.RegardsSimon

The issue is about WindChill RV&S ver. 12.... I have critical problem with selecting and processing more than around 50 items from over 1000 items heap. This is very bad situation because what should have taken me 1 minute took me 2 hours!. I cannot send you screens about details but ERROR msg MKS134744 was returned when more than 50 items were selected. Please try to answer the details how to fix it for the future job. Because nobody is willing to pay 120 times more for my job (one minute vs 120min). Thank you very much for your understanding.

Hello everybody! I would like to limit editability of Requirement fields depending on user role and Document state. How could it be made? I know about the Editability tab in type Edit window. But State field is used both for Document and Requirement  items and have independent values. My idea is to add to Requirement one more computed field which value will be set depending on Document state field. However such a solution will need for the new field to be visible for Editable rule to be executed. And as from my experience any computed field needs time to be computed which is a problem for big Documents. Maybe you can propose another solution or tell me about documented procedure which I haven't found yet. 

It would be convinient if Fields definitions could be copied like Type definitions.   Today when I need to create a new field which is quite similar to one I already have and since there is no "Copy Field..." function I have to create new Field and copy carefully all the setting manually from original Field.

How do I get the selected items in the client from the Java API?Is there an im-command or is the only way to use System.getenv("MKSSI_ISSUE0")?

Hello all, I have the Windchill RV&S Jenkins plugin installed on out Jenkins server and it builds the PTC project on manual request. I expected that a file change, i.e., a file check-in in that project, to trigger an automatic build since the Change Detection mode is set by default to File Change mode, but that does not happen. Any idea why? Thanks a lot!  

Hi Community,Since for many if us Metrics are very important and should be always in-line and for some it's not very important as well. As in system there is an OOTB trigger Daily Metrics which updates the metrics of all active projects and libraries including documents underneath it. Issue:- Since this trigger is based on beans which provides very fast performance but there is an issue in this trigger if let's say this trigger has to process 1000 documents and in 600th document some entries are wrong e.g. Assigned User is no more part of LDAP and this is very common issue everywhere. In this situation trigger will stop here and rest 400 documents are never processed. This is the reason metrics are not at all updated since long time in some of the documents. And manually need to turn on debug log and go through entire log to check which is corrupted document. Solution:- I have written existing trigger in different way and following improvements i made:-Trigger goes

Normally we use to export document via "Export to Excel" button on client directly, and the column configure views are exported into excel. The same should be possible with CLI, do we have any CLI available?
