HI Team, If User disconnected from windchill, Windchill system immediately send the mail notification. or If user profile modified any mail alert enable it possible? I tried to the below Article, but it is not working immediately, If we need to trigger one action that user against then it will send the mail. Article - CS55124 - How to configure the email notification for disconnected principal in Windchill PDMLink.  

As per the original post.    So using NX 2306 and WGM 13.0.2.0  when I create a custom load_options.def, set to use "from folder" instead of "search directories", or "load_from_dir" instead of "load_from_search_dirs".  When I relaunch NX, the load options default back to search directories.  I verified in the NX log file, that UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS is set to the correct location, and I've verified that the load_options.def says "LoadOptions_LoadOption: load_from_dir"   Any thoughts on where WGM/Windchill stores this "search directories" info, so it can be edited?   For anyone wondering why, we have been experimenting with load options and times with "search directories" and "from folder", and even with a single search directory folder, load times are faster with "from folder".

I'm encountering an issue with a CAD drawing part where the version is labeled as B2. The problem arises in the `epmDocument` table where the `[versionLevelA2versionInfo]` value is consistently showing as 1. Despite there being 6 versions (A 1, A 2, A 3, A 4, B 1, B 2), all records display the value as 1. This issue persists across all data entries, although the versions appear correctly in Windchill.What could be causing this discrepancy, and how can I resolve it? Additionally, is there another method to check the versions of these parts via SQL? Note that the same issue is observed in the `wtpart` table as well.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: User has a new CADdocument in workspace which was created in Creo. Select for check in. In Check In screen, select a subfolder of the context parent folder for the CADdocument. Select Next. Auto Associate Parts to CAD Documents is selected. Finish. In Windchill, the CADdocument goes to the subfolder, WTpart goes to the parent folder.Description: User has a new CADdocument in workspace which was created in Creo. Select for check in. In Check In screen, select a subfolder of the context parent folder for the CADdocument. Select Next. Auto Associate Parts to CAD Documents is selected. Finish.

One of our designers had a problem modifying a Family Table that he created so instead of asking for help, went and created 3 independent part files with the sme number scheme.Now I want to merge them into the family as instances.Is this possible to do with Windchill 10.0 m040? I know I could do it with Intralink 3.3.Is there a PTC document that explains the process or has someone got a cheat sheet for the steps involved.Thanks.

Hi,    Found this issue bizarrely on a customer server however the following did not resolve it:    -  wt.index.enabled was already true  - Recreated org level indexing policy for WTObject > All > WBLIB - Deleted all indexing  Objects still showing no policy  - Selected "Reset objects with no policy" - Still showing with no policy  I guess this will have to be a PTC call but just wanted to share with you all.    Thanks.  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.1We have a JNDI adaptor to allow us to login using our corporate Active Directory credentials. It has been working fine. Then our IT group imposed a password requirements of 20 characters minimum plus at least one special character, on the bind password for the adaptor. After making the change the Windchill method server will not start - see error below. What are the requirements of the bind password? Are special characters allowed?Here are the errors that I facedwt.system.err - javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C09050F, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 775, v4563 ]

I am curious what goes on behind the scenes with using trustedHosts setting. I am knee deep in on playing with SSO but still have some accounts that are not using SSO (not AD). This help doc points to using trustedHost parameter:  https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r12.1.1.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WVSPrintManagement/WVSVisualizationFormbasedAuthentication.html Seems like doing this, I can remove the password from auth.properties for my publishing user. From what I knew before with basic auth, the creds would get passed to the CAD worker with would start a Creo session and register a workspace just like a normal user. I would expect that to hit the webserver which is configured for SSO. What black magic occurred since it appears like Windchill trusts all connections from that host? How did it not get blocked by the webserver?  I may need to explain for our security folks. Is there any other alternate configurations for the publishing user when configured for SS

The PDFs are sent to the attachment section. For example, there are four PDFs created in sequence, but later a user inserts a PDF between them, for instance, between 1 and 2, and assigns it a sheet number of 2. However, because it was originally a PDF with a page order of 5, it naturally appears at the end instead of between 1 and 3. I developed an intermediate application in C# that scans the incoming PDFs using OCR, rearranges them according to the sheet number, and converts them back into a PDF. However, I couldn't find an API that allows me to upload this modified PDF back into Windchill. How can I send or replace this modified PDF in the Attachment section of the relevant drawing in EPMDocument? I couldn't find a way when I looked at the REST APIs in WRS. Could you help with this?

Currently using Windchill 12.1.2.0 with Creo 9.0.5.0 I reviewed drawings and parts with a colleague that I added to my workspace. He made changes to those parts but there were no indications in my workspace that anything was out-of-date. Selecting Tools → Synchronize or Refresh Workspace didn't change anything. Only when I selected Update and manually updated the parts did I get the latest versions. This worked, but my issue is that I wouldn't know to do this unless I knew that changes were made. I remember in the past that my workspace would indicate when parts were out-of-date. Is there something I can do to get that functionality back?

That term is new.The little "i" guides you to, title, "Device ID for Windchill" (Did they link a wrong document? That seems to be something else.)In there (CS412695), the terms "Device ID", "Machine ID", "Host ID" and "Windchill's Device ID" are usedTo PTC:

This is a nebulous problem I've been dealing with for months. It could be totally unrelated to the CAD Worker and related to some other program or security suite that was installed. Win Server 2019. I have all my CAD workers, Worker Daemons, etc, setup on different ports, different virtual hostnames, different folders so and 1 worker per instance. Production has 3 Creo Workers, Allegro Cadence, Doc Worker and Thumbnail worker.   What seems like clockwork, every 6-7 days publishing just halts. I've clear logs, .wf and related folders to reset to a clean state. Stopped worker daemons, manually stopped and restarted workers. I am pretty sure this is not related to Windchill side. What I do know is rebooting the Win Server 2019 VM fixes the issue and without any other changes, publishing resumes normally for the next 6-7 days.   The worker logs go as far as to state Starting PROE and that's it.  They eventually move into a failed state. I checked Event Viewer but could not f

Currently, a context manager (Product, Library or Project) can use Configure Actions for Roles to allow other roles to Modify the Team.The problem is that whatever role is allowed to modify the team can then add themselves to the context manager role.On a lesser concern, they could also add users to Roles that they are not qualified to complete tasks assigned to that Role in a workflow.Does anyone know if it is possible to restrict users from being added to a given role (Product manager, Library Manager)?

Is there a way to update a PDF in a CAD document with a PDF in a drawing using a REST API in Windchill? If so, which API should I use? Could you provide me with information on this?As an example, how can I update the PDF indicated in the image?

Version: Windchill 12.0   Use Case: I have a slightly advanced setup of a reverse proxy handling SSL https and the external facing hostname for users and the internal PTC Apache server configured with HTTP and a virtual hostname known only on that server (not in DNS) . The shibboleth metadata file that was generated exposes that internal virtual hostname and my IDP requires reply and login urls to be https. Where did I good this?
