In Workflow & Documents, Is there a way to restricting Editability / Relevance of Standard Fields like Shared Category.   The requirement is to allow the setting of Category value only in draft state. Once it moves from Draft state, no one should be able to change the category value.   The Editability & Relevance tab is not visible for standard fields as well on the 'Override of Fields' on the Type. I tried playing with constraints too but it did not helped.   One way I can think of is calling a trigger to abort when someone changes category value. But I want to avoid customization. Appreciate any help.

How to customize Import Gateway parser? Currently when we import a word document in Integrity, all data import in text field. Is there any way to change this pattern, extract data from ms-word and import in some other field other than text?

Hi,   after renaming a subproject via the "Move Subprojects Wizard" a sandbox creation of the renamed subproject with the current project configuration is not possible   Example: 1) Moving  /Testing/Testing2/project.pj to /Testing/Testinng2/project.pj   2) Create sandbox via GUI and the Create Sanbox Wizard after selecting the renamed subproject in the project view     Preselected Projectname: /Testing/Testinng2/project.pj Current configuration: Mainline   we get the Error:  MKS125211: The project file /Testing/Testing2/project.pj is not registered with the current server.   However: With changing the project configuration to Normal (mainline) the sanbox creation is possible. Sandbox creation with CLI (si createsandbox --project=/Testing/Testinng2/project.pj D:\Test) is also possible.   Question: Is this a Bug in the Sandbox Creation Wizard?   Integrity LifeCycle Manager 11.1.0.961   Thanks in advance

Hello,The is.properties file contains a section called "Integrity help redirection"I am wondering if this can be used for a custom Help website that is customized to our Integrity Solution, and how.

Hello, I like to create a message box from a rule-based event. Trying to use command "window.alert" I always get error 'not defined'. Using lookupbean I fail cause I find a message only for package siEnvironmentBean, which does work for IM.   Does anyone have an idea that works? My script example: function abort(s){    eb.abortScript(s, true);}var eb = bsf.lookupBean("siEnvironmentBean");main(){abort("Attention!  \You copied Content.  \Please check whether copied content is still correct!");};   Happy for all hints, Klaus

For example in older Integrity version the command below worked correct  but failed in Intergrity version 11.1 because of missing local project .pj.   Projectpath=/Projects/Library/LibPart1/project.pj Sandboxpath=C:\Library\LibPart1   working path cmd-line C:\Library\LibPart1   si viewproject --hostname=... --port=... --nolock --batch --yes -S c:\Library\LibPart1\project.pj c:\Library\LibPart1\*.*   if Sandbox location is the same as project location it worked, otherwise not.   For new versions since 11.1 worked only on sam pathes this si viewproject --hostname=... --port=... --nolock --batch --yes c:\Library\LibPart1\*.*   error Message: Checking out...*** MKS125408: c:\..*.* is not a valid member name.   Can anyone show me a solution how i can checkout the files in the sandboxfolder in version 11.1?   I hope to get help here   Thank you   ingo

We are soon to set up Integrity lifecycle manager with our PDMLink 11.0 system, and what curious how others and configured their systems. Standalone server,processing power, memory, disk space requirements are main interests. We are also still using RequirementsLink and not sure how we are going to convert/integrate. Any help is most appreciated. Also, which of the releases are reasonably stable. Should we go to the latest(11.2 I believe). Thanks again!

Hi...We would like to allow our users to delete items while applying the governance that we've coded within the tool. The "delete item" ACL provides access to users for deleting items, but it is not granular enough to apply the contextual rules that we need applied.Is there a way to hook a trigger/script up to the delete-item processing? We are looking for functionality that is similar to edit-item and scripts where we can setup a trigger and within a script add the custom-logic that we need. In our case, if the governance rules do not allow for a deletion, the script would simply abort with a message describing why the delete is not allowed.Please let me know how we can accomplish this functionality.Kind regards,-Seanedits: corrections for grammar and typos.

I have a computed date field (date only, not timestamp) that uses the function firstTimeEntryDate() to find the earliest time entry on an item.The output looks like this: Jan 13, 2014 GMT+00:00I want to get rid of the useless "GMT" information.My first instinct is to try to parse the date and reformat it, so I end up with something that looks like this:timestamp( concat( Substring( MonthOfYearName( firstTimeEntryDate() ) , 1 , 3 ) , Text( " " ) , ToText( getDay( firstTimeEntryDate() ) ) , Text( ", " ) , ToText( getYear( firstTimeEntryDate() ) ) ))This doesn't work because "The Timestamp() function takes a single argument which must be a string in the format java.text.SimpleDateFormat".I know I can do the parsing into a text field, but I want a date.Does anybody have a solution to format a computed date field, or more specifically remove the GMT information?

Hi, Or Integrity (+ Modeler) license server runs on a specific VLAN (different from the one which Integrity server runs on). There is a firewall between those 2 VLANs.   My problem is I don't have any influence on the ports used by the license daemons (MKS and ARTSANSW), which makes the settings of the firewall pretty difficult.   Has anybody found an acceptable solution for this issue?   Thanks.

Hello, How to create a Report that is not Admin Provided (Is Admin Provide = FALSE) in Integrity Administration?   I’m trying to create a Report in Integrity from “Integrity Administration” but the option “Is Admin Provided” is allways disabled and is set as TRUE. This is important to us because we use Staging Server and we need to create AD HOC Reports on Production server for punctual explorations. When creating a Report from “Integrity Administration” we have 2 options but in none the option “Is Admin Provided” is enabled or <> TRUE (attached file How to create a Report that is not Admin Provided.pdf).   Thanks for your help, Walmir Catunda

The process of merging changes from a development path to the mainline is somewhat complicated, and dependant on if you utilize the Change Package functionality of Source, as well as what views and menu options you have set Visible in your Integrity Client. To aid in understanding the merge process, this blog goes over the specific steps you'd need to follow. This process requires knowledge of Change Packages.Let's get started!Step 1 – create a sandbox against the mainlineTo merge your changes from a Development Path to the main line you need to first create a sandbox against the target location (the mainline). To do this:1. Navigate to Project > View Projects2. Select the desired project from the Projects View > Sandbox > Create Sandbox3. The Sandbox Creation Wizard will ask you to specify a location for your Sandbox – select the desired location on your local disk, or create a new folder > Next4. The Project Name will already be populated as we selected it in step 2 – cli

Hi PTC Community,   we are currently hustling while trying to adapt our gateway template. Any help regarding to the problem written in the caption is highly appreciated. At the moment we could only achieve to export the ID of a upward traced item – but not any other field value of this item of another hierarchy level. The code <%{Validates}key=item field value (for instance “Assigned User”"%> or <%{Validates:item field value%> did not work.   All the best and regards Daniel Remmers   Bausch & Lomb Technolas

Hi,   I was doing some Python based automation of Testcase management and was able to modify test results using SOAP web service calls. Working sample code is pasted below, all you need to provide is proper credentials and change ids in testcases dictionary in python code as per your setup.   The only problem is you have to start test session manually before, so that these soap calls can work. Is there any soap api to start/end test session? Code sample in any language will also help a lot?   Thanks, Ashish     import requestsimport base64from zeep import Clientfrom zeep.transports import Transport session = requests.Session() username = "<your_ptc_login_name>"password = "<your_ptc_login_passwd>" client = Client('http://<PTC Server IP>:7001/webservices/10/Test/Schema?WSDL', transport=Transport(session=session))   try: session_id = 494547 client = Client('http://<PTC Server IP>:7001/webservices/10/Test/Schema?WSDL', transport=Tr

Hello everyone,      Does anyone have a suggestion how to validate if a user is still defined in Active directory?  I have a trigger that is used to copy a requirement structure and when the trigger assigns the requirement, if the user is no longer valid in active directory the trigger returns the error "Invalid user".  However, using the aa or im commands still returns the user.      I try to set users to inactive, which I already check, but apperently missed some along the way.     Thank you,   Paul

Hello Everyone!   I am trying to build a trigger that changes the font size of an Item to H2  everytime the category "Heading" is chosen automatically. My knowledge of javascript is somewhat limited. I've spent a couple of days trying to achieve that, but I am getting errors.  Would someone kindly post a simple script of how that can be achieved? That'd be much appreciated! Danilo

Currently we are working on upgrade of MKS Integrity 2009 to PTC Integrity v10.9 in which we have below issue.In web content promotion, We are using COM+ (xxxxx.xxx) service  for transferring the files from one web server to another. While configuring the same in test environment for PTC Integrity 10.9 upgrade project, I could see that ‘WCP - Standard Promote’ trigger uses WCP.js for starting the COM+ (xxxxx.xxx) service with help of  JCOM.jar and JCOM.dll. For PTC Integrity 10.9 we used  MS Windows Server 2012 64 bit as operating system.While executing wcp.js script through trigger, we get following error in WCP.js line 493 “var rm = new Packages.jp.ne.so_net.ga2.no_ji.jcom.ReleaseManager();” . Please advise us how to run 32 bit dll in 64 bit server. Here I have attached WCP.js file for your reference. Could you please help us to fix issue?An error occurred while executing a remote method call; nested exception is: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Program Files\MKS\In

 Hey,   I wanna execute following command every 15 minutes via Task Scheduler (Windows 7 Enterprise SP1): si.exe resync --forceConfirm=yes hostname=*** --port=8893 --user=*** --password=*** --sandbox=D:\Folder\Folder\project.pj   It's working fine when using my windows user as user account in Task Scheduler. Cause I wanna have it working even if no user is logged in, I'm using SYSTEM user.   Using SYTEM user will cause following error: si.exe: Attempt to launch Integrity Client timed out. To solve this please try the following: - Verify that the user you are logged in as has read and write permissions to the Integrity Client install directory. - Make sure the Integrity Client install directory is the very first entry in the path.   Checked the internet and tried a lot: - MAN_CHM_INDEX, MAN_HTM_PATHS, MAN_TXT_INDEX, PATH, ROOTDIR are identically with my windows user. Anyway, created a .bat and use set before the si.exe command.
