When we have a top level folder displayed, there are 3 areas that we can use to filter/search the results. In the upper right, Windchill will search the entire system. On the left is a Search in selected folders box. Both of these require a wildcard (*) before and after a string to return results. On the right is a Search in table box which does not require wildcards to filter the results.  We had one user who swears on an older version the Search in selected folders did not require wildcards but in Windchill 13.0.2.0, it does. Any insight as to why the one search works without wildcards and the others require them?

We are currently checking the possibility to create a interface from SAP to Windchill, While we are able to get the required attribute values from SAP and set it on EPM Documents , but these attributes values create a different entries in SLD* file properties using windchill attribute internal nameshttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS110292?source=searchI understand as per this article that this is expected behavior as we have explicit mapping for Designated Parameters. Is there a way to rectify this?

Like many of you out there, we are approaching a CMMC audit and certification. Windchill is a big piece and I would like to think we have things well in hand. I was thinking last night, wouldn't it be great if there was a document/checklist that was tailored for a typical Windchill install that aligned to each of the NIST 800-171 controls? I do not expect PTC to hand this out as a standard download, reference document since there are so many varied ways Windchill can be deployed. "Wouldn't it be easier if it all just blew away?" I could see this being a good, collaborative topic for possibly the Fed A&D working group or even customers in general since much of this is just good security and best practices. I can see the following table of information: NIST 800-171 control What is says What is means What is means to a Windchill admin or non-IT person What part of your Windchill install show evidence of compliance How to comply (or how NOT to comply/fail) Script or check to show com

Hi PTC community.We’ve recently discovered a behavior of the wcadmin user related to Describe by document update.1. We created a Doc Part NMBP-G1 with Releasable Describe by document NMBP-ICT for its first version.2. Upon release, it has the “NMBP-ICT” releasable document and a Releasable Report (parts list) linked to it. This is normal behaviour and what we expect to see. 3. Then I revised the Doc Part NMBP-G1 to version 2.2 via a CN and replaced the “NMBP-ICT” document with a “NMBP-SVD” document as the describe by document. 4. Then This Rev 2.2 of the Doc Part NMBP-G1 and “NMBP-SVD” document were then released.5. For some reason, We updated the previous describe by document NMBP-ICT and released on a separate CN. Upon release of Rev 2 of the “NMBP-ICT” document, wcadmin user adds the Rev 2 “ICT” document back in as a describe by document automatically to the original Doc part NMBP-G1 without notification. and also rev up the Doc part to version 2.3. &nbs

I have created a custom change notice and change task workflow in my Windchill instance. The two workflows are based on the OOTB configurations for change notices and change tasks. When my change task gets to a state of "Implementation" the user can respond to a task put into their workspace with a vote of "Production". This will set the state of the change task to a state of "Production". The workflow for the change task is "Executed" at this point. The workflow for the change notice stops at the "Set Change Notice Resolution Date" task. In the process manager, this task is highlighted green and "Running". By looking at the change notice, I can see that a date has been attributed to the "Resolution Date" attribute. But when I check to see if the activity has any errors against it in the "Process Manager", there are messages saying that "Resolved is not a valid state in the Life Cycle Template". The next activity in my change notice workflow is the "Set State Resolved" activity. It loo

It is possible to edit attributes of a change task in Windchill. Does anybody know of a way that I can view who made changes of this nature, and when they were made?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Windchill Publishing is currently set to publish drawings using the As-Stored configuration. This ensures that a REV A drawing is never re-published using a REV B model, for example. But sometimes users check-in a model after the last time they check-in the drawing. Then the drawing publishes "incorrectly". Uses don't notice this because their workspace always has "latest" versions of the model and drawing.Description: Has anyone developed a customization or business rule to check that during a promotion request / change notice, that the drawing is more recent than the associated drawing models of that drawing.  I would be open to other suggestions on how to prevent publishing the wrong drawing other than changing the publishing configuration to "Latest".  If there was an option to check for "Latest Iteration" of the model, that might work, but I do not want a solution that creates the potential for a Revision mismatch. Years ago, I

We have our vaults set to 25K while the default is 50K and Microsoft says the 50K per folder is an okay limit. If we go back and change the limit to 50K and make the existing vaults writeable again, will Windchill start putting the files in vault 1 or continue with the last folder used and then move to the next new folder?

Hello guys, I'm setting up a new cad worker (creo parametric) to publish representations I've noticed that when Creo is called in background to publish something (eg pdf/dwg) it's ignoring my Env Var PTC_CREO_ALT_SETTINGS_PATH that points to our config.pro / config.sup on a network folder Instead it's usign the default ones in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 11.0.5.0\Common Files\text I know that I can just replace the ones in  c:\program files\ptc\... as a workaround, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make it use the path in the Env Var Tried both the env var at system and user level, and also manually adding it in the launch script bats  (parametric.bat, that is called by the adapter, and proeworker.bat) but seems it keeps using the default ones. I know I've already faced this issue last time and used the workaround, figured this time i'd ask if anyone had a solution random infos:creo view adapter 12.0.0.0creo parametric 11.0.5wind

As mentioned in this topic.I have the same issue with the inability to identify the context type when creating a workspace from the Windchill home page. however, one of my TEST servers is currently exhibiting the desired behavior and i do not know what is different about this server. i have seen the same output in 1-2 screen shots for CS Articles in the PTC KB, but PTC TS cannot determine what is causing the context type to be shown after the name in ( ). anyone else experience this?   we are running wc12.0.2

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Windchill is automatically re-linking a previously removed "Describe-by" document (NMBP-ICT) to a part (NMBP-G1) after the document is revised and released, even though a new document (NMBP-SVD) was already assigned. This auto-update, triggered by the system user wcadmin, also increments the part's revision unexpectedly and without notification, causing unintended changes in released data.Description: Hi PTC community.We’ve recently discovered a behavior of the wcadmin user related to Describe by document update.1. We created a Doc Part NMBP-G1 with Releasable Describe by document NMBP-ICT for its first version.2. Upon release, it has the “NMBP-ICT” releasable document and a Releasable Report (parts list) linked to it.

I have long wondered this question and figured someone out there might know. I have a QML report that looks fairly simple. Even though I have a bunch of selected columns in my output, you are not able to apply sorting on all of them. In this case, I am reporting all Suppliers but the Supplier name is not available to be the default sort. What gives here? It even shows a blank column which is strange.   

In an Expressions function: ExistentPTO in a Mashup X,I have a need to evaluate the payload on a call to a route (from another project: ToolB).response = Things["ToolB.v6DocMgmt"].getDocuments({......});if (JSON.stringify(response)[value] == []) {    output = "Not a good number";} else output = <target mashup name>; When viewing the mashup, i get this in the logs:19:06:28 WARN - Evaluation of expression "ExistentPTO" Failed. Things is not defined Can I NOT use Things within an Expression function? How do i refer to a Thing in another project?  

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Interested in an approach/toolset that can support opening a Solidworks file from Windchill, interrogating an attribute value and if required check out the file, update the attribute, save and check-in.Description: We have a large number of Solidworks files in our production system (mostly Library parts) that sometimes have an erroneous attribute value that we would like to correct. Ideally we would like this done programmatically, curious if anyone has had any success with this sort of initiative and how they accomplished it.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Users need to be able to click on the task and be able to see at what step the workflow is in, what comments have been made so they know what they need to do next.

How do I fix this?Description: When the creator/initial assignee clicks on the Submit Document link and the task view is displayed, there's no hyperlink for the process text to enable one to see what the workflow structure is or at what point in the workflow the work is at, or what actions or comments have taken place.  Should have a hyperlink like in the image below so one may view the workflow and status information of the current state of the workflow like the other image below. What do I need to do to get the hyperlink to show up in my new workflow?Thanks for any help you may provide,Don A   

A CAD Document "Test.prt / C.3" is associated to "test(Design) / C.3" part with an owner link and is also connected to "test(Manufacturing) / C.3" part. Now when a user iterates CAD to C.4 and checks auto associates while checkin, the design view WTPart is synchronized with the latest iteration of CAD Document, but the Manufacturing part is unsynchronized and still has C.3 CAD associated to it.When I synchronize it through BOM transformer, manufacturing part get's synchronized with metadata, but the CAD document is still the older iteration C.3.Question: When an engineer, checkin his CAD document, how to make sure the CAD is synchronized with design view and the manufacturing view automatically?

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Updating a custom WRS domain. Description: Hello All,   I need to do quite a lot of trial-and-error on my custom WRS domain, mainly manipulating .js files. Restarting MS every time to pick up my changes is annoying.   Since those scripts are interpreted by Nashorn anyway, I thought... maybe there's some magic trick (e.g. calling some MBean method) to reload them without restarting MS every time?   Thanks!
