In OOTB versioning schemes, revision behavior can be controlled using various properties such as delta, min, max, and skip list.I have implemented a custom file-based versioning solution and wanted to understand whether it is possible to implement similar custom properties to control behaviors such as skipping versions, setting minimum revisions, and setting maximum revisions.

Hi,  Can Change Notices have the Promotion Request? If yes, which WRS do I need to use to fetch the Promotion Requests for a Change Notice? Thanks.

Just a note for all when applying the security patch for CS466318. We are using SSO and have made the indicates changes to our web app as directed for Shibboleth. I had not realized that this patch rebuilds the HTTPServer configuration so some of my manual SSO changes were reverted.In particular, addition of “JkMount /Windchill/sso/* ajpWorker” to conf.d/30-app-Windchill-AJP.conf was wiped. This is documented here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS394860?source=search where you fail to get back to Windchill from the redirect session hook. The requested URL was not found on this serverThe right solution should (I feel) is to add this like to the main template file that builds the conf file. This is documented here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS394860?source=search. A but more complicated but I think safer from a reconfig perspective. Now, if anyone knows what templates need to update to change AuthType and ShibRequestSetting in the Auth conf file so that reconfig doe

I need to create a conditional statement that checks if the PBO is drawing; if so, it advances; if not, it terminates. However, as a new Windchill administrator, I'm having trouble and can't find an article that can help me.

Need a way to either schedule the report to get who added / removed users from site admin and org admin groups. Or this should print the details in logs without having to enabler lot of loggers which can potentially fill up space pretty quickly. This is extremely important because, we have a process which is driven by security to get the access , but without approvals if we see someone getting added even if its intermittent, we want to know who is performing such actions as its breaching the policy

Hello,i am trying to find a way to create a manufacturing view for a wtPart in a workflow.For example, when a promotion request is reviewed and the promotion object is Released, the manufacturing view should be automatically created. Until now this can be done manually via the menu: Actions → New → New view version. Is this possible?

Are you able to do ECN approval in Windchill Navigate or is it only Problem reports and ECRs?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Custom Data Utility Multiline Text Display Issue After UpgradeDescription: Hi there, I'm experiencing an issue with the display of multiline text from a custom Data Utility after upgrading our Windchill environment from version 11.2 to 13.0. I've developed a custom Data Utility which is used to display specific text information, retrieved from an attached Excel document, on the Attributes-Structure tab of WTParts( Thanks to @HelesicPetr  for idea 🙂 ).  This text data is structured to include multiple lines for readability (e.g., containing section headers and descriptions). In Windchill 11.2, this Data Utility successfully displayed the text with proper line breaks, effectively creating a multiline output within the UI field/cell where the Data Utility is rendered.  However, after upgrading to Windchill 13.0, the exact same Data Utility code now displays all the text as a singl

Hi all, I have the Part Configuration object. I have to load / bulk create 100’s of Part Instances with Serial Nos, by giving the serial nos and basic info in an excel sheet or .csv sheet.Is this possible? We are in Windchill 12.1.Alternatively, is it possible to create a new WRS domain for Part Instance and define some custom PUT/POST functions in it? Any experience on how this can be achieved.Best RegardsHari

Hi,My part lifecycle states include Development - Prototype - Released - WithdrawnOn revise from prototype or released the part will return to development state, and then a change notice is used to either transition Development → Prototype, Development → Released or Prototype→ ReleasedI have two types of change notice “Prototype Change Notice” and “Change Notice”, which have different workflows (different approval roles)I would like to limit the available release targets when a “Prototype Change Notice” is raised to only be the prototype state - “Preproduction” change transition (remove the Change transition from the list)This looks similar to the request here, but I cant see a solution - I have tried investigating the mapping rules, but I can only find how to limit target states based on the change object type, not on the change notice type it is withinThanks

Can someone help me out, what I am missing to delete my own workspace in windchill. 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.14At one time, when using Chrome based browsers, it was possible for the user to resize the text boxes (text areas) in Windchill forms, such as Change Requests. There was a small icon in the lower right corner that could be grabbed to resize the visible text area. This does not seem to be possible anymore. Is this a bug in Windchill? A bug in Chrome? Or intentional design in the Windchill code/CSS? Is there a way to change the code/CSS to enable resizing? (We do know that it can be changed temporarily by using F12 DevTools and changing the box dimensions temporarily.

Hi,the users are complaining about the "Windchill performance". There can be various reasons and there are various tools/knowledge hubs/cases from PTC to attack the problems hiding behind that general complaint.I searched for a morning and got the links below. Unfortunately, that list is too big, too chaotic, has duplicates and crosslinks insideMain question: Is there a recommended, methodical way to analyse and solve Windchill performance problems, by PTC/by you?Side question: Is there a service by PTC that does it? What were your experiences? (result, cost, specified period, actual period, communication quality, responsiveness)Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------Windchill-PerformanceLists 50+ cases to increase the performancehttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs303555 General Performance Troubleshooting in Windchill PLMLists another ~50 cases to increase the performance.
