 I have several computed fields that do not need to be dynamic, but they need to be updated/computed every time an item changes State or a specific field is updated.  For example. 1. When "due date" is entered, a field called Days until due date needs to compute.   2. When "State" is changed to "In Review", Days in Review needs to compute. These computed values are used to set range fields of Red Yellow Green to indicate status.   So, how do I trigger the computed fields to compute.  I would be OK with it computing for a given item every time it is saved. Don't know how to do this either.

Is it possible to edit the list of words in the spell checker? I onlysee a way to add words.

I am in an initialization script for an item. I can tell the difference between a newly created item from a copied item. I next need to determine the item-id of the source item that was copied from. Can this be done in a script?   Kind regards, -Sean

I can see how to define the joinspec conditions in the properties (options tab), however I cannot see how to display the joinspec on the diagram ({joinspec = }) in line with the standard.  This is fine if the model is being used as the presentation medium (as long as the viewer is aware of how the tool stores its data and displays it), however much of our content is put into diagrams, documents or website material, which generally do not gather all of that metadata and attribute detail.   Is there a way to display the joinspec on the diagram?   Currently using a workaround with constraint note objects, which is less than ideal as updates require two or more changes now.   any advice appreciated

Hello PTC Community,   I have been working with Jenkins and the PTC Plugin for quite some time. And now facing issues at the Check-in stage. I am using Jenkins 2.89.4 and PTC Plug V 2.1. Our scenario just before PTC Check-in stage: FolderLevel1 (project.pj) -FolderLevel2 (project.pj) -SomefileLevel2.txt SomefileLevel1.txt So my intention is to checkin all files into PTC and still maintaining their "Projectstructure". What I am ending up with is that SomefileLevel1.txt gets updated correctly V1.2 but on any file which is on DirectoryLevel2< the Plugin creates a Directory inside the FolderLevel1 and creates a branched version of SomefileLevel2.txt V 1.1.1.1. I have attached a screenshot of my sandbox to further clarify the situation.Sandbox Am I completely misunderstanding the concept here or is this some kind of bug in the Plugin? I am just wondering as many people in forum are successfully using the checkin feature but from my point of view this limits the use of any sub-p

I'm trying to compare a local sandbox with the server to find out if anything has changed or new files were checked in that differ from my local data.   I do this by using the cli command: si viewsandbox –S <sandbox_path> --recurse –filter=changed:sync –filterSubs and now want to exclude a folder from this request. So to say if anything was checked in on the server in the Folder "IgnoredFolder" or any subfolder of it, I don't want the command to return this files as changed.   I already tried by adding the option --filter=!file:IgnoredFolder, --filter=!file:*IgnoredFolder and a lot of other combinations but didn't get a result without the IgnoredFolder.   The same happens to me if I try to create a scoped Sandbox with the option --scope=!path:IgnoredFolder   Could you give me a hint what I got wrong here or how I can achieve what I want?

Problem Statement: Significant Edit date or Input revision date of a Node is modified when that node is moved within the document at Integrity 11.1. Is there a way to control the standard fields like 'contains' to be non-significant change.     I have submitted an enhancement idea if you like to have this feature or have a similar issue use below link to go to the idea https://community.ptc.com/t5/Integrity-Ideas/Significant-Edit-Date-changes-on-restructuring-document-nodes/idi-p/542856#M1097  

We're preparing an IM Query which displays results having 2 conditions. Condition 1 -> where owner="Username" and Condition 2 -> date range in a month. Is there some im command which supports to give both the conditions and to retreive the results from PTC Integrity.   Can some one please help us if you have some idea.

Following the Git Integration Guide, I setup the GitIntegration.properties file with my hostname and port. When I try to connect, I get this message:MKS1133411: Unable to connect to IM Server: null   I went onto the Integrity server and checked the logs and saw this error: 2018-03-28 13:03:21,198 DEBUG [mksis.IntegrityServer] DEBUG(0): MultiProtocolServer: javax.net.ssl.SSLException -- javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection? at sun.security.ssl.EngineInputRecord.bytesInCompletePacket(EngineInputRecord.java:156) at sun.security.ssl.SSLEngineImpl.readNetRecord(SSLEngineImpl.java:868) at sun.security.ssl.SSLEngineImpl.unwrap(SSLEngineImpl.java:781) at javax.net.ssl.SSLEngine.unwrap(SSLEngine.java:624) at mks.nio.AbstractSelectableChannelReader$SecureChannelAdapter.handleRead(AbstractSelectableChannelReader.java:670) at mks.nio.AbstractSelectableChannelReader$AbstractListener.handleRead(AbstractSelectableChannelReader.java:407) at mks.nio.CompositeS

Is it possible to do a setting which automatically moves a comment or requirement below headings? Target is to have a document structure similar to a word document. Level / section 1 only headings, section 2 for requirements and comments.   Thank you Markus

We have a Jenkins Environment up and running with the PTC Integrity Plugin V 2.1.   Running Jobs on slave machines using the remote connection works, but is slow. To improve the performance we are trying to make the new local Client configuration work.   However, we are running into two problems:   1. When using an Integrity Source Project that is not named Project.pj we get an error:   for : #p=/Test/Test.pjPreparing to execute si projectinfo for #p=/Test/Test.pj[LocalClient] Executing Sandbox Verification [LocalClient] Executing si sandboxes [LocalClient] si sandboxes response:0[LocalClient] Searching Sandbox: : D:\workspace\TestPTCLocalClient, for Project Config: [/Test/Test.pj], Build Revision: [null][LocalClient] Sandbox not found in : D:\workspace\TestPTCLocalClient, for Project Config: [/Test/Test.pj], Build Revision: [null][LocalClient] Executing CreateSandbox :D:\workspace\TestPTCLocalClient[LocalClient] CreateSandbox response:0[LocalCli

Hi,   I am facing an inconvenience with our customized Word-Export: In our PTC document we have a pick-list field and its entries are being exported. The issue with it is, that when there are multiple picks (e.g. stakeholder: Management, Production) these entries are getting exported without a separating space (e.g. stakeholder: Management,Production). Is there any possibility to change this? Saving the pick-list entries as “ Management” or “ Production” (with a space before) does not help.   Thanks a lot beforehand!   Best regards Daniel Remmers

Hi, Via the gateway bridge I am trying to import an in Excel created Test Designs Document with Test Cases and Test Steps. The standard PTC documentation briefly describes how to import the Test Design Document and Test Cases and that I got working. How can I import Test Steps because I can’t find any documentation about it.   Does anybody have experience with importing test steps from excel into PTC Integrity?   Regards, Jan.

In Integrity, is there any way in the View Relationships window (Ctrl-R or Item->View Relationships) to get it to NOT show the 'Shared' relationships?  The relationship flag on all of the shared items are set to "Don't show in structure, don't show in trace, don't show in finder" yet it still shows up in the relationship view.  Showing the shared items just clutters up the view, and it would be more useful if they were removed.

Integrity provides a wealth of configuration options.  However, due to the complexity of the development ecosystem and demands from the user base, there will inevitably be a desire for extending the core functionality with custom code.  There can be a number of reasons for extending Integrity including, but not limited to:Integration to other ApplicationsCustom business logicAutomationImproved Interface Efficiency, e.g., role or solution specific InterfacesDue to the ratio of end users to administrators, a large amount of administrative development time should often be exchanged for a relatively modest saving in time for end users. In other words, an investment many hours of administrative time to save a few minutes of end user time is often still a viable exchange.  This is because there will be many more end users performing the operation more frequently, so 500 end users each saving a few minutes a day may quickly add up to exceed the amount of time spent by the admin

I would really like to have this question clarified, as the manual is not clear about it.   Imagine the following source setup:   We have some SI projects: /siteA/lineA/prodA/pro111/project.pj /siteA/lineA/prodA/pro222/project.pj /siteA/lineB/prodB/pro333/project.pj /siteB/lineB/prodC/pro444/project.pj /generic/pro666_forcedReview/project.pj     There shall be a policy for /generic (assuming that the policy is recurse to all proejcts below) that enforces CP review. There shall be a policy for /siteA  (assuming that the policy is recurse to all proejcts below) that does NOT enforce CP review.     When I share a member from (archive) lets say /generic/pro666_forcedReview/sub1/subSub2/aFile.txt   into /siteA/lineA/prodA/pro111/subForGenerics/project.pj   Will an update to this member from a sandbox of /siteA/lineA/prodA/pro111/ still be triggering a CP review???   If policies behave like ACLs I'd assume yes, but do they?    

I am extracting the descriptions of my Integrity test cases via web services (C#) and it works fine. The only problem is that the parameters are not substituted, they are written as {{myParam}} within the text.Is there a way to get the field contents with the real parameter values?

Hello Community,I have the task to integrate the PTC Integrity Test Objects with National Instruments NI TestStand. The recommended way of doing this seems to be the MKS/PTC ATEF Adapter. I have the documents around it, I understand the background to a certain extend (my Java knowledge is about 10 Years ago) but I am not sure if that is the right way of doing it. I wonder whether I did not find any hints about such an integration of the two systems, neither in the PTC community nor in the NI community.My Questions to all:Who uses the functionality of automated test execution (TestSessions) and putting the test results back to the Integrity Objects?What solution do you use?What test system do you use?Did you succeed with your test automation using the ATEF?What was your experience?Looking forward to your answersHarald

Hi,   Recently we have configured gateway to import content of document into Integrity. It workd perfect as expected. But our requirement is to import content of the table in to Integrity i.e each column should import to the specific field available in Integrity.   So kindly guide me with same xslt to read the content of the table into Integrity fields.   Thanks for your support.

The BSF for trigger scripts can be extended with Java, the classes have to be in "IntegrityServer/data/java/classes".Changes and additions are only visible to the script framework after the server ha been restarted.Is there a way to reload new and changed classes without a server restart?   Regards, Kai.  

Hi there,   First time on the forums, looking for some technical assistance.   I am trying to install the PTC Integrity 11 client by running the mksclient.exe   I get the following errors during the installation on our Windows 10 64-bit Enterprise OS:   I have to click OK in order for installation to continue to the end. It does install the PTC integrity client, but does not install the MKSToolkit component.   The screenshots reveal that the installation is failing on the toolkit64x.msi   If i try to run that msiexec.exe /qn /I "toolkit64x.msi" "TKROOTDIR=C:\Program Files\INTEGR~1\Toolkit" REBOOT=ReallySuppress in an elevated command prompt, it fails. If i remove the TKROOTDIR parameter altogether, the msi is able to successfully install individually.   Is there a solution so that everything can install successfully by running just mksclient.exe without the installation come to a halt? My company needs to automate this process by

Greetings,   I'm trying to make a query ,via the client, that will get me a list of segments whose children/grandchildren nodes got modified within a day.   Let's suppose I have documents like following : Parent : Requirement Document (ID : 1)  Child : Requirement (ID : 10) GrandChild : Requirement (ID : 100) and I need a query which will get me the parent documents'  ID only, which is 1 here, when his grand Children nodes (Id 100 here), or Children nodes (Id 10 here) got modified within 24 hours. (This Modification should include attaching new Files & deleting Attached Files)   It seems a query filtered-item.segment-and Modified Date in the last 1 days by following Contains   is getting me the the parent item only when his child got modified with in a day.   and another one filterned   -item.segment -and Modified Date in the last 1 days by following Contains (OR) -item.node -and Modified Date in the last 1 days by following

I've build which is checked-in on the PTC Integrity and I've raised the CR or SR ticket(Build & Deploy Request) on the PTC life manager by developer for deploy his build on some XXXX server and the version of the build is xxxx. As of now as a deployment team we are following the below process If we get a ticket we assigned it to us.And then collect all those details which is on the ticket by manually and doing deployment also by manually. Instead of this now we are planning to do this on automation. How do I get the following details on the Jenkins to do my deployment. I've some bat script to do the deployment. To kick off that bat file, it needs the following details1. Version of the build2. Which server the Build needs to deploy3. Where the build file is located I need to collect all those above details from the PTC ticket which I had created earlierIs there any possiblity from Jenkins can I able to get those values from the ticket number. I'm very new to PTC.I came to know from

In the last couple weeks we have starting seeing users unable to sign on the Integrity using Google Chrome.  We get an error 500 that the user name and password do not match the current session.   It works fine with IE and Firefox.    Any thoughts?
