Hello -In Integrity 10.9, I'm trying to create a new field for my documents that is a computed sum of all "Verified By Trace Count" entries in a document.The field "Verified By Trace Count" related to each requirement is calculated by:     isEmpty(RelCount("Verified By"),0);So, at the document level, I was hoping the sum of all these values would simply be:     sum("Verified By Trace Count");but that always gave me the error:"An error occurred parsing the computation expression "sum("Verfied By Trace Count");": MKS124539: sum: Function is an aggregate function, but a non-aggregate computation is being evaluated."I tried using the aggregate function, but couldn't quite get the syntax right.Any help would be appreciated.Is there a document that gives examples on how to use all these computational functions and operators?Thanks!John

Hello !Can someone help me and show a simple example how to synchronize Simulink with PTC integrity.Regards !

What are the Software components required to install Integrity Lifecycle Manager and Integrate it with Windchill?

We are getting a constraint related error when trying to create a related item through a trigger. The trigger completes correctly but the changes are ultimately rolled back due to a constraint error preventing a certain value (a copied field). The value on the new item has a constraint based on an FVA which points back to the first item through the relationship which was just created. The only explanation I see so far is that the constraint is not correctly reading this FVA's new value. So I just want to ask if anyone can confirm whether constraints act strangely when interacting with FVA's and there's nothing to do about that.

Can some shed some Light on Modifying the XMl Template files to Configure and generate the Excel Reports using the Custom Features of Integrity Report Engine ?

I have used this percentage expression (1.00* count()) / (sum(query("All Untraced Requirements",Project,count()))/count()) in chart, For some cases the value is null and it is as follows:Can someone tell what is the reason behind this strange behavior? Thanks in advance.

Hey communityDoes somebody know how to use a different data type in historicFieldValue?<%compute%>HistoricFieldValue(ASIL,timestamp("Sep 30, 2016 03:00:00 PM"))<%endcompute%>In Integrity the ASIL field can be changed by using a "select list" like in html. An item's "State" is also an select list. But it's possible to incorporate "State" in the historicFieldValue because the different states return integer numbers, respectively. Is it possible to define the same functionality in Integrity for different field names with select lists? Or any further possibility to obtain a result for HistoricFieldValue of different data types? Currently the error message is as follows:I hope you know what i mean in this context and would really appreciate any support Thank you in advanceMartin

  Using documents we currently face some strange changes in be way PTC handles the “Documents” relationship in Segments.  As it seem impossible to find a manual/howto that fully describes how it is supposed to work I wrote down all case we can see currently in our system.

I would like to define a background colour in the Integrity LM client for users working on the DEV system of our staging environment.this colour must be controlled by the server - as the the user(s) could also connect to the PROD system > where the colour should be the default colour.the idea is to prevent "test users" from creating productive data on a non-productive system.I m aware of the lower right corner section where the users could see to which system they are connected > but unfortunately they do not realise what they see .... or just ignore it

I noticed that a user query can use the same name as an admin query. Maybe this user query was created before the admin query? The problem is that some trigger operations find a query by name, and they do not always default to grabbing the admin provided query. Can someone outline the interactions between duplicate named queries?

Hi,Does anyone know a fast way to open documents which are linked by a source trace to a requirement item!?Currently it really takes a lot of clicks to do this: open source trace view - select file (again) - locate member - view history - open fileThe first time this took me 62 seconds - which is not really acceptable - but try yourself...Any suggestions?Greetings,Daniel

Hello everyone,     I am looking for a way to prevent the mass modification of mks domain groups.  In the last month, I have had to restore the membership table multiple times because all the users were removed from an access group.  We are setting up a job to duplicate the table locally so at least the restore will not take as long, but this still requires a bounce and that is difficult to schedule.  Any suggestions are appreciated.Thank you,Paul Hartwig

Hi,We haven't upgraded our Integrity Server in a while and need to go from 10.2 to 10.8. Is it possible to upgrade directly to 10.8 or do we need to go from 10.2->10.3->10.4 etc.I only ask because I remember doing one upgrade in the past where I skipped a release and it ended up missing a properties file (encryption.properties) due to a new feature that had been introduced in the previous release but was not created in the later release. Then I had to roll back and perform the intermediate upgrade before going to the next version.Thanks in advance for any info.Best regards,Paul

Hi,I have created a user defined query.Can send query output via email to group of people using integrity OR schedule a email notification for query output?Regards,Rushikesh

We have Integrity 10.9 and I am using the managed API with C# to create a custom client app targeting API 4.16. I am using multiple connections to download project data from the server to the client app. Previously I was using a single connection but it takes too long to download large projects. Now that I have multiple connections going, I am running into a few issues.   I have the API output to a log using:     APIFactory.MKSInitialize(logFileName, LogType.Error, LogPriority.High);  I don’t know if this happened with a single connection because I wasn’t using the log feature before, but now, in the log I am seeing this error around 100 times:                Mon May 01 12:05:18 2017 (..\mksValueImpl.c:228):<ERROR> Insufficient buffer size. And this error about 5 – 10 times:Mon May 01 12:05:19 2017 (..\mksValueImpl.c:181):<ERROR> Insufficient buffer size.  This doesn’t s

Dear All, it seems that when we set default prefix and number of digits to use for new requirement it is applied to the whole model. Is it possible to set them specifically for each package? For instance, I would set in the same model : ESE_01, ESE_02, .... for a package, RAC_01, RAC 02, ... for another package.   Thanks, Alessandro

Hi all,it seems that PTC finally has made the decision to focus in it's future development for ILM on a revamp of the web client and to stop the further development of the rich client. I'm wondering what will this mean to us? We're using ILM in two major projects. One project is focussing on requirements management as a doors replacement in different departments, the other project is using ILM for requirements management, change management and configuration management (incl. source code management) for embedded software development. Users in both projects are working only with the rich client at this time.I think a switch to a web-client is not that big issue for the first project, the same way to work is well known with other tools like jira or stages and so on. I'm worrying a bit about the second project, particular for the work which is normally done with the SI-part of the rich client. The greater complexity of SI compared to GIT or SVN is one of the points where i wonder how this

Does anyone know which method can be used to retrieve the Review Log information of a Change Package? Obviously getField() doesn't work, as Review Log is not a Field at all. I've also tried a few other methods in the package com.mks.api.response which look possible to do the thing, but none of them worked. I really have no idea now. When I use the command viewcp in command line, the Review Log will just be printed directly when existing, so why is it so hard to do the same thing with JAVA API? Can anyone help me?

IBPL fields are extremely useful and almost a necessity for us because our list values are constantly changing or being updated for multiple domains.These fields work very well in the "Item View" but when used on a Node while editing in the "Document View", the fields seem to be making the entire item uneditable.If the column for the IBPL field is visible in the "Document View" and a user selects a value for the field and saves, that row becomes uneditable until the column is removed from the "Document View." All other rows that do not have values set for the "IBPL" field remain editable until a value is set for that field (in which case these rows also become uneditable).Take a look at the images below: In Image 1, you can clearly see that Row 3 (highlighted) is uneditable - the error is that Integrity has not finished loading all the required fields (spoiler: it never "finishes")Row 1 and Row 2 (or any row that has a value selected and applied for Column/Field "Part IBPL") is also un

My intention is to create a new folder when a field is checked in an Item type using triggers.I found difficulty in writing javascript to do the same as it does not support ActiveX to access the file base.Node js can be used but it does not seem to work with PTC

How do I create a custom Stereotype so that I can assign it to some blocks?

Hey Community:a possible use case is as follows:Your manager wants to get an overview of the progress in the last month. Thus you want to depict the progress by using a report.This report should show the items with their content from the past but their "confirmed by" links from today. If you run a report on the items in the past (to obtain the Requirement's original content) the report would show that no tests ( Confirmed by relationships ) have been executed til now. This is due to the fact that the Requirements were not tested at that moment in the past (certain Label). That's why I want the Confirmed by relationship from now (today) because some requirements have been tested over the last month (Confirmed by relationships exist now). By doing that it's possible to show which and how many requirements have been tested over the last period.If you run a report on the items from today, you receive the current item's content (Requirement's content). Probably these contents are different

All,        For those of you attending the PTC LiveWorx event, there will be post conference meetings held on Thursday and Friday by PTC/User.  The ALM meetings will include topics on requirement reuse, the PTC system monitor for Integrity, Script debugging and many more.      If you are interested in attending these meetings and you are not a member of PTC/User.  Please join here: http://www.ptcuser.org/.  Then request to join the Integrity TC here: http://portal.ptcuser.org/p/cm/ld/fid=240‌.  After you have joined the Integrity TC, you will receive an email requesting you to register for the post LiveWorx meetings.   I will be sending a full agenda to the TC as the Liveworx meetings get closer.If you have any questions, please email me at paul_hartwig@irco.comThank you,Paul Hartwig

Hello,is there a way to do the change from a folder to subproject (a lot of folder have been created by errors they should be subproject).BRLionel
