Hi together,   We are publishing to SAP a structure which contains different views of the parts. Top Node is in Manufacturing and the children in design and also Manufacturing. We have another custom view Manufacturing Location. One of the children under the structure was created directly with this view. Applying the System Default Filter on the structure will show only the Part Master for the last mentioned child.   While trying to publish to SAP through a CN the following error is recieved: com.ptc.windchill.esi.rnd.ESIRendererException: No qualifying version found for the master "wt.part.WTPartMaster.    I am thinking this has something to do with the System Default filter but in our distribution target for CN and BOM  we use a different filter which includes also the custom view.   Any ideas why this error still comes?    Setting the Preference for ESI not to generate exceptions in such cases will ignore the part but also if there are childre

Hi, we need to copy a large WTParts structure including associated Creo View representations and related IBAs, between prod to a test system. The user inter face based solutions crash due to the dire size of the structure.  Which are the possibilities to extract the structure in Windchill backend, which should resolve into an XML load file + Creo View files on disk, which we can then import into the target system?  On top of this, in the extracted XML we have the need to make small adjustments, for example add a prefix to the numbers, and small things. Therefore we need some kind of XML that we can modify. /Gustav

Version: Windchill 12.1   Use Case: (1) Manually update option set-related information based on BOM information defined in other systems. However, this is not a realistic answer considering the frequency and accuracy of data updates. (2) Implement by customization by Info*Engine. However, it is necessary to use unsupported option set related classes. Since classes related to option sets are not supported, there is a possibility that the functionality will be removed when Windchill is updated.

Currently, TMC designers are using "TMC's own system" to perform tasks equivalent to "defining BOM information.

I think I’m missing something. Can you help?During a change process my affected objects are set to Under Review with a Pending Change icon (red triangle). At that state, no one can edit the object.During the rework/clarify loops I use the Refine phase and Review phase of the LifeCycle to move the state during that phase.At the moment I am moving the object to “In Work” at Refine but the problem is that now the objects are open for users to modify not just the assignee of the task. I see there is a Roles and Access Control tab for the Under Review phase that looks like you can grant Ad Hoc access to those roles (Assignee and Reviewer).But when I have Refine stay at Under Review, the Assignee can’t edit the objects even with the ‘special powers’…What am I missing? Do I need another State that is used just for Refine to move into and then a policy that locks edits in that state.

I was creating a new user, which at the same time something crashed our method servers. The user was created with a domain, but not the organization. We are running a one Organization install. Now I cannot edit the user as Add Participants will only search the organization, nor can I add him as new as he already exists (I can see the user from a Windchill Report).How do I either : Edit the user? Either correct the organization or the domain to unaffiliated?Delete the user and start a fresh user.
