Hello All, I followed Article - CS216138 and configured an option to upload local files as representations for an EPMDocument from the UI wizard (I am using Windchill 12.0.2.14). I am wondering if there is any way to automate this upload process. Support for representation upload using the loadfromfile framework is only available for WTPart, not for EPMDocument. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We would like to store STEP files from vendors in Windchill, but how?Description: We would like to store STEP files that we receive from vendors in Windchill.  We don't need to tie them to a particular WT part or anything, we simply want to store them.  We have looked at Import to Workspace, but .stp and .step are not valid options. What methodology should be used, to simply store the STEP data in Windchill?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Previously I created strings for displaying text in Preferences and Business Rules using Java RB files, Now there is a new utility called Text Tailoring which can edit those same strings and update the text without needing to re-compile code or restart the server.Description: I can see the classes in the new Text Tailoring utility and edit the strings and update the text without needing to restart the server but my original class files are not being updated. Where are these strings being stored now, is there some new files I need to add to wtsafearea to preserve it in during CPS and upgrades?

Version: Windchill 11.2 Use Case: Create a Data Warehouse of Windchill objects and relationsDescription: We would like to stand up a data warehouse that contains tables reflecting objects in our Windchill instance such as documents, parts, change objects, etc. along with any relations they have. What is the appropriate tool to use to extract this data from a Windchill instance? We considered using REST API calls but our local development team said that approach is not viable for us. Perhaps using the Business Reporting tool would work?

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I have a task assigned to a role/group (Data Manager) where any user can complete it, and then later tasks in the workflow are assigned to the specific user (Assignee) that completed the earlier task... they took responsibility at the first and will now have to follow through.Description: I cannot find a java link between the wt.workflow.work.WfAssignedActivity (the "self" object in the workflow script) and the user completing it.  Currently I am using the wt.session.SessionHelper.manager.getPrincipal() for the task assigned to the Data Manager role and assigning that to the Assignee role for the future tasks (generally this works).  But in the case of a temporary calendar designation (or a quick test where I blast through the tasks as an admin), the Assignee becomes the actual user that did the task rather than the true user that was assigned it. i.e. Andy, Bob, and Carl all get Task 1 and whoever completes it is the sole assignee

Is WRR supposed to automatically convert a "lower level" part Environment to the top most Modeled Environment (unless changed, all lower level items inherit the next higher assembly model...which I would assume the environment as well)?This is real easy to test for EPRD parts:Load a single part in an assembly with a stated environment of AUF.Set the Top most assembly to Ground Fixed, and correct temp.Calculate.Same failure rate is summed to the topThe AUF part failure rate should be converted automatically for you when inserting an EPRD part...or at least that was my assumption. Otherwise, what's the benefit of being able to insert NPRD and EPRD parts? The tool provides a graph that allows one to graph failure rates over multiple environments and/or temp, so I'm assuming it has the typical conversion factors built into the tool. Please help/explain.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I'm using GetParts to search WTParts in Windchill using a filter like "startswith(Number, '12345')". I want to get the latest revision at the "Released" state if one exists, otherwise get the latest revision. Is there a way to construct a filter to return the latest "Released" revision but if there are none, just return the latest revision regardless of its state?Description: I can filter by State/Value eq 'XXX', but I feel like I need to have a conditional in there saying if that state is not found for any revisions, return the latest revision.

When you use the Audit Log Purge Management on the Site --> Utilities page, what file does that purge?  Is it the access.log in the HTTPServer --> logs?  Just want to make sure what I am purging before I do.  If it is that file, that will be great because that file can grow very large.  Is there a performance hit when purging?Thanks!

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: how can I fix the "Edit Filter" windows adding all the Available views?Description: Once I try to collect the manufacturing views I have to get crazy reopening several times to collect the different equivalent part views  could it be possible to fix the edit filter just like picture 1 as admin for all the users?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We are exploring the use of Domain's on Folders (Display Folder Domains) using new Orgs to define the permissions within one Library. This is working as users from the named Domain (lets call them Tea) can only see the Folders in the Tea domain and those in "coffee" can only see the coffee folders. We also have a café folder where both can see. That's great but they can search and find the documents in the other domain, they just can't see the folder. Is there an option to also apply a domain to a document?Description: User in Tea can only see the Tea folders and are not able to see Coffee folder or documents created within that folder.

Hi, I'm getting old but I remember that un-resolved PR's would move forward to the next Revision of the object they were associated with? If a Document (Rev A) has three PR's against it and only one is acted on (CR, CN) and the Document is Revised to B. That Document (Rev B) would still have two PR's associated with it.   Release: 11.2.1.6 Products Installedwindchill 11.2.1.0 supplier managementCreo View - Clientswindchill 11.2.1.0 mpmlinkwindchill 2.1 REST Serviceswindchill projectlink 11.2.1.0windchill 11.2.1.1 help centerwindchill 11.2.1.6 service packwindchill pdmlink 11.2.1.0windchill 11.2.1.0 info*enginewindchill 11.2.1.0 Serviceswindchill 11.2.1.0 common basewindchill partslink 11.2.1.0

Version: Windchill 12.1   Use Case: I need to add an IBA that is only filled out or shown in the Resulting Object table of a Change Notice/Activity and stored per item in the table. Description: It cannot be filled out generically as an IBA against the Notice/Activity and it cannot be an IBA at the EPMDocument or wtPart Level.  I added a global IBA to the Change Record table, but it doesn't show up in the list when I try to create/update a view that will then contain that IBA.  How do I do that?

I would like to know if anyone has tried to have Windchill PDMLink work with PostgreSQL Database. According to these benchmarks:One with SQL Server 5 and MySQL:http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/51-Cross-Compare-of-SQL-Server,-MySQL,-and-PostgreSQL.htmlPostgreSQL versus MS SQL Server and PostgreSQL versus Oracle at the following sites:http://www.redhat.com/pdf/rhel/bmsql-postgres-sqlsrvr-v1.0-1.pdf http://diznix.com/dizwell/archives/category/postgresPostgreSQL out performs all current databases withthe exception ofproducing a 5 million record report againstOracle. I like the benchmark with 2 Intel Quad Core Xeon, 48 GIG of ram which closely resemble my Oracle Database. It definitely proves that the combination of Red Hat Linux and PostgreSQL looks really good compared to Windows 2008 and SQL Server Enterprise with identical hardware.I've started creating the database and now moving to the user schemas. If this works, like RedHat Linux, this would savecost on licensing and m

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Let's say I have a design in Creo 9 which is managed by Windchill 12.1. I also have managed Solidworks 2023 data in the same Windchill database. As part of my Solidworks design, I want to insert a Creo managed file (part or assembly) into my Solidworks assembly. This could be for creating tooling or simply one engineer designed a part in in Creo and another needs that part in SWDescription: If I attempt to open the Creo file through the Workgroup Manager in Solidworks I get this error:Sep 28 20:07:31 Failed to open in SolidWorks 2023: 987-3811-025.prt. C:\Users\tpprimos\Documents\PTC Places\Workspace\987-3811-025.prt does not exist. If I attempt to select "Insert Components" from the Solidworks Assembly, the File browser only shows Solidworks files in my workspace,  It does not list any of the Creo files in my workspace.  Therefore I cannot select the Creo file. It seems like the only way to accomplish this is to Save a Back Up

Version: Windchill 12.0   Use Case: Our Windchill is currently configured so that engineers can revise objects outside of any change process. Typically each CAD model is related to a WTPart with an Owner link. Our rule (although not enforced in Windchill) is that CAD and WTPart must be revised together. We have the default collection set so that if the user starts a revise on the CAD model, the related WTPart is collected by default. Typically engineers use the default collection and everything stays in sync. Description: Recently, an engineer revised a CAD assembly and used the collector to add dependents. The related WTParts of the dependents were not collected. As a result, the new revision of many CAD objects was no longer linked to any WTPart. It took a significant effort to fix.   I assume a custom listener could be developed to run some validation during the revise action and block the revise of a CAD object if the related WTPart was not included in the revise action.
