What Does this Mean?   With the end of Standard Support – applicable products will no longer be available for new patches, SPR fixes or R&D support when troubleshooting cases. PTC products are in the Standard Support period starting from the first Customer ship date (FCS). Standard Support refers to the period during which active GOLD or GOLDplus Customers can submit Technical Support cases, have access to Software Performance Report (“SPR”) fixes via maintenance releases, have access to critical patch sets and have access to new versions of PTC software for the products for which they are entitled to Support. Each product in the PTC Product Release Calendar specifies when the Standard Support period ends   When is this Happening?   For both 12.3.0.0 and 12.3.1.0 standard support ends in January of 2022.   Can I Still Open Support Cases?   YES!  For an additional two years customers will continue to have access to the support desk.

Hello, I experienced changes in the font size of the items' text after some updates done in WindChill server/Local MSWindows updates, only the text field of an item, everything else is normal. Apparently other colleagues do not face this issue, thus It has to do perhaps with my local computer settings, however, I hope you can clarify that. As you can see in the image it seems that the text goes off the scale for some reason and honestly it is way too small to read, so I have to export the document in order to read it, which is an extra step that delays my daily work.   This is not an issue of screen resolution, none of the other applications show this problem. Here is the version we use:     Windows 10 Enterprise. 64bits OS, x63 based processor   I am working with two screens, with resolutions: 1920x1200, scale and layout 100% 1920x1080, scale and layout 150%. The scale resolution does not solve this issue.   Please, I would like to know what is the cause of

How to create a Trace between two documents contents which are inserted from two different parent where they linked each other?   Parent Doc_A 1322 : 100 contents available Parent Doc_B 2322 : 80 contents available here contents from 1322 & 2322 are interlinked with each other..   We have another two documents Doc_C & Doc_D Doc_C 3322 : 20 content available  Doc_D 4322 :  30 content available   Later 20 contents get inserted from Doc_A to Doc_C and also 25 contents get inserted from Doc_B to Doc_D.   Now How to create the trace relationship between newly inserted contents in Doc_C & Doc_D ?   As Doc C & Doc D are not branched document so here Propogate trace to.. cant work, also copy-paste special option available but it links possible between Doc A & Doc C. Is there any way to make relationships between C & D's newly inserted contents?

Remark: This is a replication of my ProxyPort review.   There are a lot of predefined reviews in Reviewer; most of them are around UML. When checking system models, I stepped over a standard review "Port on an IBD without any connections". This is looking for port symbols without any connection. However, when verifying if a full port has been defined and it is not used yet, a check would work better looking for any connector link in the dictionary. Otherwise the typical diagramming of IBDs showing the interface - without being connected- would result in many review items to be manually marked as acceptable when using the standard review. I've attached the review here, which can be placed in the User-defined folder of Reviewer. Before, change its extension to *.rev. Example: A System has a CPU and a Digital IO. They are connected via pins: The CPU is shown with its interface in another IBD: The standard review lists all the symbols, which are not connected. The new review underst

Hello,    I am trying to use the si mods command to see the history of checkins between checkpoints. I would like to get the "Name" of the file that is changed similar to that of "Viewing project Differences" on the GUI. However, adding the options --fields=Name does not seem to change the output at all, it's not different than --fields=Name,Change. Is there any other way that I can simply get the Name? Thanks.   Ricardo

Is there any integrity CLI command from which i can get the project revisions of level1/project.pj which has particular particular project revision of level4/project.pj. I tried it doing with si locate command but i can get only level3/project.pj project revisions.   The project structure is like this: level1\project.pj    level2\project.pj (subproject of level1)       level3\project.pj (subproject of level2)          level4\project.pj (subproject of level3)

Hi Community,   One situation wanted to share with you, might be you have already seen this or any prior experience:-   If we add an attribute let's say Field1 to any type let's say "Test Plan" and then set some value to this attribute(Field1).   E.g. Test Plan 12345 Field1 is set to value "abc".   After setting value remove that attribute from the type but IssueFieldBean.getFieldValue(Attribute) still returns the value. Now Field1 is removed from Test Plan visible Fields.  In any trigger that gets the issue Bean of Test Plan 12345 if we execute:- IssueFieldBean.getFieldValue(Field1) it gives "abc" for item 12345 let's say.   Instead as per me getFieldValue() function first should check whether field is really visible on type or not or?   Feel free to give your thoughts on this or if there is any architectural explanation.   Vielen Dank / Many Thanks, Kapil Jain

All,     I am looking for a way to create a hyperlink to a chart that replaces the defined query of the chart with one I specify.  I can successfully call a chart using this format: http://{hostname}{port}/im/runchart?selection={chartname} and I can call a report replacing the query with this call : http://{hostname}:{port}/im/runreport?queryDefinition=(field[ID]={id})&selection={reportname}‌.  Is there a different format for the call that I need to use for the Chart or is this unsupported?Thank you,Paul Hartwig

I want to automate some task in order to have excel files in a folder. I am using PTC Integrity LM Client and I have no idea how to get my data. I saw that we can use the java API but I don't know how to do it at all. Being new to PTC, Anyone could give me the steps to do so that I can get my data?  Thank you for your support.

Thanks for the valuable information. Right now i have upgraded version of modeler 9.4. I badly need the below information.   I need to automate some of the process using 'Change package state' option under tools using ModelStateDescriptor.txt file that we have in the upgraded 9.4 version. When i enter a state, using EntryScript im able to do Package name validation and increment package versions (using which i can just undo a change) but i want to create a verison of a model (Which i do using Model manager )or do a export of that package within that 'CommitState' function of that Entry Script.Can i custmize entryScripts to do the below: 1. Automate Versioning, branching, merging, clone etc. of model using external commands just like what we do in model Manager manually (without using git). 2. I see there is no Direct integration of Git to Modeler. so i may need to export models to a directory inside CommitState function entryScript on a state change event and then use git external

I have added different scripts to my model. So far these have worked very well. Without any warning two scripts will not be executed anymore. The other scripts continue as usual. Via an MsgBox I have tested whether these are still called. Unfortunately this doesn't happen anymore. What can I check or change to regain the functionality of the scripts?

I tried to execute the computation in report computation,   Example, Lets RQ  Document = having 21 Functional Requirements 2 Functional Requirements assigned to „Responsible User“=userA (i.e. assigned to me) 1 Functional Requirements set „Responsible User“=userB So, here i would like to find the count of such Functional Requirements having no „Responsible User“ set. Ans should be 18.   Usecase 1 : Find the count of Requirements which is assigned to me (i.e. Responsible User assigned to me) aggregate("Contains", ByDocument(false, false), sum((Category="Functional Requirements" and "Responsible User"=me)?1:0)) This computation is executing correctly, count=2.   Usecase 2 : Find the count of Specifications which is not assigned to me (i.e. Responsible User not assigned to me) aggregate("Contains", ByDocument(false, false), sum((Category="Functional Requirements" and "Responsible User"!=me)?1:0)) This computation is executing with count=1. but The answer suppose to

I'm pleased to share a presentation that covers Model Management with WIndchill Modeler 9.4, which is part of an upcoming training course "Introduction to Windchill Modeler".

Hello All,                     I'm re-posting this message from the main Windchill group in case you missed it.  PTC Release Advisor is a new tool that allows customers (having a PTC Support Account) to chalk out a install or upgrade path for your Windchill RV&S and other related or relevant PTC Products.    PTC Release Advisor is a new web-based tool available on the Support Portal , which consolidates compatibility documentation and upgrade recommendations across PTC products. This new tool can help you plan an upgrade of a PTC product, while considering other PTC products  you use, and key variables in your environment such as Database , browser and Operating Systems. Release Advisor’s intuitive UI guides you through a step by step process of filling this information in – and then generates a high-level upgrade and compatibility table -based on the products and variables most important

Hi Guys,   I am new to MKS PTC Integrity and I am working on a project which uses MKS Integrity as a Source Code Management to checkout the code and build a EAR file using Apache ant.   My issue is when I run build.bat,  It has si connect command which connects to integrity properly, but when it tries to create sandbox it shows following error stack java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com/mks/api/IntegrationPointFactory.createLocalIntegrationPoint()Lcom/mks/api/IntegrationPoint;at mks.integrations.apache.ant.MKSTask.execute(Unknown Source)at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:292)at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor6.invoke(Unknown Source)at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:37)   One thing I understood is that createLocalIntegrationPoint() method has been deprecated and following methods are used, Can someone please guide me on how can I make my Connection successfull??. createLocalIntegra

I'm exporting 2 documents (e.g. System requirement and Software Requirement) from PTC Integrity using the Requirements Connector, I see it creates 2 ReqIF files (one for each document).    Most tools I've worked with generate just 1 ReqIF file such that each document is considered a unique "spec" in the single ReqIF. Is it possible to just have 1 file for multiple documents so I can put an entire project in a single ReqIF? This will allow creation of trace relationship links between the documents with importing in target tool.    let me know if I am missing how to do this. 

Hello Everyone,   I'm trying to make a integer field that uses a computation value. The definition would be something similar to an if statement in java.    For example, if "Field1" == "yes" AND "Field2" == "yes", i want the integer to be 2.   So far I've tried something like ("Field1" == "YES") AND ("Field2" == "YES") ? 2 and also  ( ( ("field1" ==  "yes") and ( ("field2" == "one") or ("field2" == "two") or ("field2" == "three") or ("field2" == "four") ) )  ? 2   Both have given me syntax error. I'm not completely sure if I'm going towards the right path, as i can't find any documentations on statements like these.  If any of you guys can provide some insight, or even what programming language ptc uses, it would be much appreciated.
