We have been facing performance issues in our document managment for a while since we've updated from 10.6 to 11.1.   The symptoms are as follows: - view/edit live documents works normally - "view as of" for doucments is extremely slow (up to several minutes before a 10 node document opens) - "view document differences" is extremely slow (up to several minutes before a 10 node document difference view opens) - "Edit in Word" - workin with a single node is ok, but useing the chapter or entire document option is extremely slow (up to several minutes - sometime even errors in a timeout)   The behaviour was not consistant over all our segment and node types (some where extremely, while others worked much faster), so I took a deeper look into our setup and found this:   IMHO there is a general problem in the handling of FVA multi-valued user fields when it comes to historical operations.    In our node setup of the affected segment types we have a FVA fiel

Hi, we would like to find all projects with (certain) attributes.   We can find find all members with certain attributes via si viewproject --fields=memberarchive,attributes --filter=attribute:<attrname> but unfortunately, this does not work on project attributes.   We can list a project (with its attributes) via si projectinfo --attributes but projectinfo has no --fields and no --filter parameter and does not work recursive (for subprojects), so there is always only one project listed.   This is even more important for projects than for members because member attributes can be shown in columns, but project attributes always have to be selected for a single project via project information. This makes it really hard to locate project attributes for many projects.

The labeling of quite a few messages is messed up. Especially with the Modeler label you can find various messages that are not related to Modeler at all, but to Lifecycle Manager. A cleanup would be nice, as it safes time and confusion. If I could I would even offer to help, but no path open. There are not so many threads over all. The time required for that cleanup would not be much.   By the way: A fourth label within the Integrity realm for Integrity Source I would find helpful as well (as I find it quite distinct from Lifecycle Manager).   Thanks for considering Jan

Hello,   I am using Integrity 10.8.0.8356.   Under File->Preferences->Configuration Management -> Diff and Merge Tools the user can set the  preferred Diff command and Merge command.   For example in the configuration file below "C:\Users\MateiA\AppData\Roaming\Integrity\10.8\IntegrityClient.rc"   I see the following values:   vdiffCommand=compare.exe /title1\:"{1}" /title2\:"{2}" "{3}" "{4}"mergeCommand=compare.exe /wait /title1\:"Merge From\:{1}" /title2\:"Merge Base\:{0}" /title3\:"Merge To\:{2}" /3 "{5}" "{4}" "{6}" "{8}"   I am interested to set these two values via CLI   I don't know how to use setprefs --save --command=??? --ui=gui someKey=someValue   Many thanks !  

Hi All, I am in the process of creating a mobile App and need to fetch all the sprint related information from PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager (with Agile Solution) and display it in mobile App. I need to display Sprint details with all the tasks in it with estimated and logged hours till date. Can anybody please provide some references to the webservices available for fetching this information and some examples if any?

I have a list of people. I would like to say which people were involved with a certain test. I also want to say what role they filled during the test. How can I have a list of people where I can also specify what their role was for the test?

We are using the CLI (im.exe) for updating a rich text field with content we maintain in another system (SharePoint). e.G. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Integrity\IntegrityClient10\bin\im.exe" editissue --richContentField=Status="Some content ..." 1234567 This works well in a nutshell, also with inline images in the HTML, that we parse out and add as attachments. We create the .cmd files programatically and are looking into further automating the approach. We are facing the following limits restrictions and are wondering if they can be overcome: the windows cmd interpreter has a limit of 8191 characters. Someting our content is longer than that and we cannot update this issue with the CLI. Are there any known workarounds for that?Good solutions would be an "Append" command or the option to read all parameter data from a file, e.g:im.exe" editissue --richContentField=Status= c:\contentfile.txt 1234567.IS any of this supported somehow? When adding attachments, only local o

 Hi,        I have a user who logs in using the web gui and doesn't have the client installed. Every time he logs in it tries to open the last query he ran, which is a very extensive query that takes a long time to run.  Is there a way to delete the web user's "profile" like there is if he was using the client? 

Hi,   I want to create a custom report with requirement ID, tests ID, tests name, result, and few editable fields.   Could you please suggest is there any way to do in Integrity report. I'm using Integrity 11 Thanks and Regards, Shilpa

I had an interigty client running for several moths under windows 10 without any significant problems.Now it happens that if the gui should open a dialog for selecting something from the local filesystem(eg add members, create sandbox, File->Compare Files...)the gui and IntegrityClient.exe crash without any exeption dialog.The gui diasappears and process IntegrityClient.exe get terminated.So far I did not notice any other functionality beeing affected.(eg I can still create sandboxes from commandline)I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client (WIN XP SP3 compability) but the problem persists.I also tried deleting the .mks folder from User Profile directory with no success.The only other traces of the crash I stumbled upon where some JAVA hs_err_pid???.log files.Some extracts from such a file:# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (20.45-b01 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86 )# Problematic frame:# C  [MSVCR71.dll+0x10440]...Stack: [0x0a130000,0x0a170000],  sp=0x0a16f658,

Is there any way to do a relational query with ILM data other than using a report recipe? If not, is there by any chance an add-in for Access or something similar that will treat item types as tables to allow relational queries to be created?

Hello, We are using Integrity version 10.8.0.8356 Can we show the Visual Difference and Visual Merge  screens by using CLI commands or API functions ? Please see the attached files for examples  

First time in Integrity since shutting down for Christmas and I'm getting an error on my dashboard saying 'Cannot show view information: MKS6412172: Dashboard "Document Management Dashboard" does not exist.   If I go into Administration, 'Document Management Dashboard' does not show up in the dashboard list under Workflows and Documents.  I have no idea what happened to it.     Questions: 1) Can i restore it somehow? 2) If not, can I restore it from the distribution 3) If I install the 11.2 update (I'm running 11.1), will this restore the missing dashboard?   Thanks, Perry

Hi all,   We have some notification triggers that send our users a mail about specific situations. These triggers then read certain fields of the triggering item in order to use these contents in the text of the mail for a quick overview. Some of these fields are rich text fields, which are basically composed of MKS-HTML code. But now this code can't be understood by Outlook or other mail programs, so that the MKS-HTML tags can be seen in the text of the mail, which makes the whole thing very difficult to read.   Has anyone found a way to filter out this MKS HTML code or convert it to normal HTML without parsing all the text in the mail trigger script? Thank you....   kind regards, Jens

Our Integrity Server uses the HTTPs protocol and is not reachable via HTTP.   We want to export Test Suites and Test cases to Word documents using the Integrity export wizard (Gateway). For the exported Test Suites and Test Cases there should be links to the items in Integrity web view. These links are dynamically generated by the Gateway tool and This is archieved by placeholders in the export template: <%ID hyperlink = true%>. The Problem is that the protocol of these links is always HTTP and not HTTPs. So all the generated links don't work.   The Gateway user guide says the hostname and the port of hyperlinks can be configured in the export configuration of gateway-tool-configuration.xml by <property> sub elements within the <exporter> element:   By default, hyperlinks are of the form:http://hostname:port/im/viewitem?selection=itemIDwhere hostname is the Integrity Server hostname,port is the Integrity Server port number, and itemID isthe value for th

When I view Projects in the integrity client, there's a nice type to filter box ("Show projects containing").   I've always wanted that same functionality when viewing a sandbox, but have never figured out how to do it.  We just upgraded from Integrity 2009 to 10.9 and I was hoping to see it, but I don't.   Basically I'd like a, "Show members containing", box next to the, "hide empty sandboxes", checkbox.    Is it possible?     (I attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about, thinking it would show in my post...  it doesn't...  but you get this nice addendum telling you about it)  

Hi All,   In one document I want to populate the list of requirements. Can I embed queries as one step or document in templates under libraries?   Eg: i have one Project/Library folder under which i have two templates   SRS template 1 SRS template 2   Under SRS template 1 I want the list of requirements to be displayed, can i call a query or add its result as one step in any document?   Thanks and Regards, Shilpa 

How do I find Group References of a mksdomain user.  I ask this because when a person leaves our company it is easy to delete the user, but trying to find all the MKS Domain Groups they might be in is very cumbersome.

There are many document types in our organization we were planning to create templates in Integrity which can be used, im not able to get the option how to do so. Could anyone please share link or article which can help?

Does MKS support OSLC links?   Does MKS have any integration with Rhapsody or model based design? 

Since version 11 (maybe earlier, we switched from version 10.7 to 11), the relevance rules for fields are evaluated correctly. Since then, the values of a field are no longer displayed in queries if the field is configured as invisible in the item.Up to at least version 10.7, this was not the case, and we were able to hide fields with computations in the item, but still display the values in queries. We would like to continue to do this, especially since users are used to being able to read these values in queries. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? kind regards, Jens

Hello PTC community,    i'm looking for help on exporting the IDs of related Items to a MS Word document. But i have little experience with XML-files and so forth. I included a couple of screenshots of my first try to implement the export (The Red Arrow shows where the related IDs should go inthe template, only for context). Is what i'm trying to do actually possible?    Thanks Kind Regards  Julian Seubert

Hi,   This question is related to how to use "Perspective" of IRC 3.2 features. I am currently using ILM 10.6 client /server and IRC 3.2. In ILM 10.9, I know that the perspective is available in the Document View. Is there any way to do this in 10.6?   The reason I need this feature is that when I export a document using IRC, I want to export only specific contents that is filtered in the Document View.   Please help me..   Thank you.
