PLM

My company is working to implement the use of ESI to publish to ERP via Windchill Change Notice.Our current business practice is for Product Engineering to design product, responsible for form/fit/function, then Manufacturing Engineering takes the Design BOM and defines the manufacturing BOM in Windchill. We are on a journey to change the way mBOMs are built. Previously the End Items, Shipping Unit (parcels), Mechanical Parts and Plant Data were structured in the Windchill mBOM, then a home-grown middleware between Windchill and ERP was used to massage the Windchill mBOM by adding raw materials, semi-finished parts, routing/process information, and addition of -FINISH information (ex PARTNUMBER-BLACK) used for purchasing and inventory of parts with finish.Going forward a complete mBOM will be build in Windchill and published through ESI; including all raw materials, semi-finished parts, Process Plans, -FINISH parts, and Plant and Enterprise Data. Today our process l

Currently, while we do note parts as being serialized or not, we do not make use of Part Instances. So there is no representation of a serialized part and Change Notice releases just represent idealized releases from Engineering which are sent to SAP. SAP should contain the data to answer the question what is the as-built structure (based on production orders and issued parts). I am thinking of pulling this back to the PLM side. Anyone have experience in trying to manage this on the PLM end?  I can foresee a nightmare to keep this data in sync to decisions on the floor and outside of PLM. The goal is to accurate but not force extra overhead on folks building products and making those incorporation decisions. From what I know, this means making incorporation decisions at the change notice to declare effectivity of changes to upper level serialized instances and end items. Is that correct? What happens if as I expect, people change their minds later. Is this just altered or are ther

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.0Our intention is to configure external vault. That whenever we upload content files it should be uploaded in different system instead of default/current system.When trying to create new Host , its shows error "Create mount for root folder "defaultsystemrootfolder" failed. Nested exception is: wt.util.WTException: Mount status cannot be determined"I followed this Article "https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS351880" but didn't work.

Hi,  in Windchill, we have several workspaces. Each workspace has some sub folders.  In the table view, if I want to search "*.drw". I can only see drawings inside my current folder. But nothing from the sub folders.  Did we setup something wrong?  Thanks 

How to enable DEBUG logging level for log4jMethodServer Windchill 12.1

The ''Preview Mass Change'' step throws an error in ''Perform mass change'' wizard after using ''Insert Existing Document'' Please see attached files first to see steps to reproduce my concern:Step 1.pngStep 2.pngI know how to deal with such a warning if we use ''Replace Existing Part'' for example in ''Perform Mass Change''. We can do this by manipulating the relationship constraints in type and attribute management as shown in image-1.png. In Image-1.png we are manipulating a relationship between (Part to Part) not (part to document). For this reason I could not find out if there is any other way to manipulate the relationship constraints between a part and a document. Or maybe there is any other reason for this error?I could not find much help in PTC articles.I really appreciate an answer for my question, as took me so much time and could not figure it out. ThanksBR

Hello Devs, I'm new to Navigate and have created a custom task where I need the search to return only the latest released objects. However, it's currently fetching multiple released versions as well as objects in the Production Rework state.As it's a custom task, I can't control the search using a saved search.I tried using the following navigation criteria, but it didn’t work:State eq 'Released'Do I need to use a different navigation criteria, or is there an issue with this one? Could you provide a sample criteria to achieve the desired result?Thank you in advance.

We are migrating CAD Part (EPMDocument) form source to target system using Windchill Import/Export Management. The attributes which are available on the source system are not available on the target system and we need to skip them while exporting/importing the CAD Part to get it imported successfully. We have the option of export/import rules available to create mapping rules to skip the attributes. Is there any mapping rules to avoid the attributes which are not available on the target system? In the exported TAG-EPMDocument-0.xml, the attributes which needs to be skipped are available like this:<businessField><businessFieldID><solution>WINDCHILL</solution><namespace><category>type</category><name>com.abc.DefaultEPMDocumentMaster</name></namespace><name>Attribute1</name></businessFieldID><datatype>java.lang.String</datatype></businessField>

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Background method server died just as I was in the middle of creating a new Windchill login.Description: A while back, the background method server died just as I was in the middle of creating a new user. This resulted in not being able to find the user since it was not completely created and cannot create the user as it already exists. We have a external LDAP for logging into our windchill and oracle DB for primary object storage.What DB tables are updated when we create a new user? I suspect there is more than one. We attempted to remove the user from one table, but it did not make a difference.
