Hello All,Is PTC planning to support compound historical queries in a future version of Integrity? If the capability already exists it has somehow eluded me. I am only aware of historical queries supporting date, user, or value.Examples:Which requirements were in the "In Review" state last Friday?Which change orders were assigned to John Smith on January 1st, 2016?Which test sessions were moved to the "Validated" state by John Smith?Thanks!

Right now we only have one counter for ID numbers for the entire PTC Integrity database.  We are concerned that our ID numbers are going to get quite large and become impractical to use.  Also, is there any limitation to the size of the ID number?

Where can I see the new product ideas proposed for Integrity LCM?

I have been using IBM, PREP, E3, SBM etc.. all these yrs and now since 2weeks i started using Integrity is found not that user friendly to fetch the information at one view as a Project MAnager (dashboard templates not found)(PS: I am providing this dashboard as an example of how i want my project dashboard to look like which can be customized further by Admin/Project Owner) I want to learn on can we create such/similar dashboard for projects that we handle using PLM Integirty ?Any such material would be of great help as my project at new org is using Integrity only for requirementsbut i understand Integrity can be used as one universal tool for everything but i have least to no experienced peers to bring PLM as one tool across my current org

Hi,I wanted to know how synchronization mechanism works on Integrity.I have created Project(Demo) and then create Sandbox(Report) and the location given is "<Integrity Server>/data/reports on where I have installed Integrity Server.I have another remote machine and create local sandbox for the above created project. reports content has been downloaded to my remote machine(local sandbox).If I do checkout and modify the report and check-in back to the sandbox from remote machine, it is getting synchronized on Project(Demo).If I go to Integrity server machine, it is getting synchronized on Project(Demo) but not on local sandbox as expected. Here I need to do "Resynchronize" option to get it reflected.But I have seen other environment, if we do checkout and check-in from local sandbox, automatically data has been updated on Integrity server. I don't know how they have implemented it?Could you please explain how synchronization mechanism works?Thanks,Sithik

How to create a development path in MKS source integrity. I have created one. But whenever I lock any file on development path, mainline file gets locked too,. So I am not sure if the development path is working correctly. If the mainline file is getting locked , will it also get updated to next version if I check in in development path. This is something I surely dont want.Will anyone please provide more insight on creating and using development paths?

Hello   I would like to write my own addin to extend the functionality of the PTC modeler (artisan studio v7.0). However, I have not been able to find any documentation in this regard. Could you please point me at documents where this information might be described.

We have huge documents edited by 2-3 people and we would like to track and review the changes corresponding to lets say one feature or correction.Similarly to an SVN commit where you can see the revision, changed files and the diffs.Is there a way to achieve that? Seeing what somebody did under one commit/any atomic operation and to see what he changed (text, traces, attributes)?

Hi @all,for the user an item is more or less a form with some fields, and he has to navigate through this form to edit the fields. He can do this by clicking with the mouse in the fields he wants to edit, or he can (try to) navigate from one field to another field by pressing the tab key. The latter is preferred by the most of my users (and me). Now we have one item with three fields, which are located side by side in one cell of its presentation template. The fields are named like <special_field_1>, <special_field_2> and <special_field_3>. when i try to navigate through these fields via the tab key, the order is 1,2,3, as ist supposed to be. But: the item can change its look depending on the content of some other fields (item-visibilty, override for fields and so on), but the above three fields shouldn't be affected in any case. But if i edit another field, the order of these three fields IS changing to 1,2,3 (as it is supposed to be). AND I DONT KNOW WHY!To avoid th

Is there a way to maintain the order in which the items were inserted into a relationship field in a chronological order? The Order column is not helping me here.

Hi @all,for debugging trigger scripts i need access to the server.log. I know of two ways to get this access: - some kind of access to the filesystem, where the server.log is located. Either direct or as a share.- via admin-clientThe first way is not possible in my company, direct access to server-filesystems are generally prohibited or at least limited to a very small group of admins. The second way is possible, but very uncomfortable. At the admin-client i always see the last 500 lines of the log, and our admin doesnt want to increase this number, because he wants to avoid some heap-size-problems. 500 lines is not enough in most cases, but even if i could persuade the admin to increase this to 2000 lines or so, i doubt that this will be always enough.Anybody has knowledge of another way to get access to the log-files?Thanks, Jens   

During installation I recieved "An error was encountered while installing the Service Pack: FAILED_TO_ADD_KEY_MSG".  The don't see the 2 logs it tells me to look at, in the directory path.

Hi Team,I have created a development path 2 months before and few changes happened in mainline after that - can i resynchronise my development path with latest mainline changes (or merge the mainline changes in development path) ?Regards,Arun

Hi,I am developing and java application which require lot of processing and I don't want user to wait till my application finishes processing.So I came up with splitting application in tow parts client side and server side both of them will run asynchronously.I am familiar with integrity API and at client side I can work with it.How do I run my java code at server side and do all required processing there?Does integrity provides any facility for this?

Hi,I am trying to get the User Object from imUserBean, but I think it cannot be created: JavaScript Error: Internal Error: undefined: Cannot convert null to an objectfunction main(){    if(delta.isNewlyPosted() && delta.getNewFieldValue("Severity") == null){        abort(user.getFullName());    }}var delta = bsf.lookupBean("imIssueDeltaBean");var eb = bsf.lookupBean("siEnvironmentBean");var user = bsf.lookupBean("imUserBean");main();So I am trying to create the object with bsf.lookupBean and then abort the action with the full name of the user who caused this action.Instead I get the error in the line (bold).Thanks in advanceAlexander

Has anyone used the Integrity SCM capability to version control their Sparx EA project/models?If so, how does this work and how do I connect EA to the Integrity repository?Thanks!Kris

What is the date format string for the XML file (Gateway?) that defines the mapping between Integrity and MS Project fields? The one that is in the sample file doesn't work. It's something like "EEE MM-dd-yyyy" and it throws an exception.I am using Integrity 10.7 and MS Project 2013.

The templates are sill available in the admingui, but I can not find the menu entry!?

Hello. I've been working with the API for an integration I am developing. I have read through the Integration Builder's Guide fairly closely. This mostly documents the commands, rather than the available options. I am trying to do a simple im issues command and add an option to specify the type to return like so:cmd.addOption(new Option("type", typeName));I found an example in another post on here where the poster was using "type" as an option successfully, but when I attempt this, there is an exception:com.mks.api.response.InvalidCommandOptionException: im: MKS124819: Invalid option: "type"Edit: I would be perfectly comfortable with a query that just simply returned all of the Integrity items that I could filter after the fact, depending on their types. The "im issues" command always seems to require an item ID, as I get an error indicating that when I run just "im issues". I just need a command that will return all Integrity items.:Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Is the following sync possible: Jira has an ID of its time entries. We want a sync between this time entry ID and the one on Integrity side. In other words: Jira time entry ID <> Integrity time entry ID.

Hi @all,in our changemanagement-datamodel we have an itemtype, which can have three different specifications depending on one field. As example: The item is a release-item, and a field "element" can switch the specification of the release-item between "module", "library" and "package". The item holds a relationship-field, and by this field we can build some kind of hierarchy: A Library can contain some packages and also some modules, but not another library. Its alway the head of this hierarchy. A package can contain other packages and also modules, and modules shouldnt contain any other item, because they are the smallest artefact in this hierarchy. The relationship-field can be configured to allow only specific item-types, but it cannot distinguish between the different specifications of the same item-type.So i want to do something like this: If a user tries to connect two items over this relationship-field, a trigger should look at both item-types and the "element"-field and decide

The user asked for a "Combo-box" field on "Type A" where he could see all "Type B" items ("ID" and "Summary") child of  "Type A {ID}" and select one off them as main. This field will be mandatory when State = "Completed".- I have a "Type A" (father) which has "Type B" items as child;- They have a relationship "A_To_B_Forward" and "B_To_A_Backward";- I created, on "Type A", a IBPL field with "Backing Type" = "Type B" and "Filter" = "At least one 'Type A' relationship exists" listing the "Type B" "ID" and "Summary" so user can select which he want's;- But I can't filter the result by "Type A {ID}" through constrains. I don't have "Type A" data;Any help?Regards...Walmir Catunda
