Use Case: In my company we moved all our date from a really outdated IMS 11.2 to 13.2. In the past people used Enterprise Architect 13.0 for their architecture and connected to IMS via the MKS SCC Connector. Now we want to continue with that integration, but we fail to activate the MKS SCC Connector. Description: I have found a CS article that explains what to do in case the the connector is not registered: https://www.ptc.com/de/support/article/cs93130   We were seemingly able to activate the connector running the IMS 13.2 client in admin mode. That resolved the error of the IMS client telling us that it cannot enter registry keys. But EA still did not react. So we followed the further instruction to manually adapt the registry keys. One thing we stumbled over was, that the CS article tells us about two dlls: mkssiscc64.dll mkssiscc.dll (I assume the 32bit version) But the IMS 13.2 only comes with mkssiscc64.dll mkssiscc_compat.dll   We tried to put that compat.dll in t

Hi, I need to download and Install RV&S Server and Client application on the same virtual machine. But I am not able to find the link to download the installer file for RV&S Server and Client applications. And do we need separate licensing for Server and Client applications? if yes, please mention that as well. Please share a link if anyone knows.

Hi,  I need to install Windchill RV&S for R&D purposes and would like to know the difference between Client and Server installation and which one to consider. Also let me know the version that can be installed which also provides up-to-date documentation. Thank you.

Hello team,Need a way to track if requirement's Text field was touched (Text was changed).Something like a logical parameter that sets its value to true if Text was changed.Needed to track what requirements were changed. Can not use standard Significant Edit field as need to have an ability to override its value (like set it back to false manualy). ************Pls close this thread.Fixed.Thanks

Hi all,We want to delete unused Requirement/Test documents from Windchill RV&S, for that we found that we can use im deletesegment command and this should run through APIs, below is the code snippet IntegrationPoint ip = factory.createLocalIntegrationPoint(4, 16);Session s = ip.createSession(USER, PASS);Command cmd2 = new Command("im", "deletesegment");cmd2.addOption(new Option("reportOnly"));cmd2.addSelection("491775");CmdRunner cr2 = s.createCmdRunner(); Once we run this, we are getting error - MKS6411972: Item "491775" does not exist.Is there something missing, is this a correct way to use this command, any inputs will be helpful. We have done the prerequisite given in help document, so permission is there. Thank you!

Hi, I am trying to create an event on the Windchill RV&S server for getting auto-notification whenever a Checkpoint is created for Project/Subproject in Configuration Management side. I have also passed a path in .event file for the trigger script to be used. But how that is going to work unless I will not specify for which user or group this notification will be sent. Also, Trigger is only available in Workflows and Documents. How is it going to work for Configuration Management side? Regards,Harsh Ranjan

Hello,I hope this is the right Subforum. I'm having an issue with Windchill RV&S 13. ist there any way to trigger the RV&S 13 client to refresh the current view (basically what happens when user presses F5).We have some tools with shortcuts, that alter issues inside a document. After doing the changes it would be nice to tell RV&S Client / GUI that it should refresh to show the new data. Thanks and best regards.

We want to do an html report on a Test Session with test steps.In the generated report, images are only shown as placeholders.The images were automatically saved as attachment when added to the test step.When browsing the underlying link inside the report, f.e. "http://ourservername:7001/im/viewattachment/PTC_14952943054504893.png?attachmentID=1603&mks_tz=NONE&mks.disconnect",it asks for credentials for the RV&S server and downloads the file, so the connection basically works. Why is this image not shown in the report?

Hello there, I would like to ask if there is a way to add one / multiple test Items in an already created Test Session via CLI.I am working on an Windows machine if it makes any differenceI tried with editissue command but, as far as I understand, there is no --type argument in order to select my Test Session ID. Thank you in advance

I have a question, How to create a picklist with all baselines labels within same document in a pick field ? in Windchill RV&S (formerly Integrity Lifecycle Manager).

How to export the text of a baseline label in Windchill RVs (formerly Integrity bicycle Manager) during Gateway Export ?Currently only blank baseline option is available in Gateway Export Wizard but cannot see any drop-down for baseline label selection.Is it possible to change label option as dropdown list/ pick list instead of text box in the Gateway Export Wizard window?Using the Export to Word Wizard the baseline of a Document can be exportedFor this the user has to enter the Label of the baseline into a text fieldUsing a simple text field to specify a Label is inconvenient and prone to errorsIt would be favorable if a Drop Down List was available for choosing a LabelIt would be more helpful to the end user if the list of labels for that selected document were provided

I'm trying to install PTC Modeler 8.5 in standalone mode on a Windows 11 PC. The installation fails. This also occurs for a server-only installation. Client installation works ok. The installation is run 'As Admin'.The log file error appears to be something to do with the operation ARTAddOMSUser.I've attached a log file for an example server installation that shows the error.Can you shed any light on this error and how it could be resolved.Thanks.

Hello everyone,my goal is to generate a report on RV&S which shows the linkage between requirements and test cases. Furthermore the report should show the requirement coverage in %.  Has anyone an idea how to do that? BRTahir

Hello everyone, I am facing an issue with PTC integrity. Whenever I start the PTC, I get the following errors.   'Malformed\uxxxx encoding'   Afterwards PTC integrity never opens.

Hello team,One more question as no "delete revision" command exists in RVS.How to get text value of requirement's previous version content to restore by trigger?I have found this method to usepublic ScriptRevisionBean getAncestorRevisionBean()but no info of how to make it work.Any help?Regards,

We found some vulnerabilities in PDMLink, and critical patches are available to resolve these vulnerabilities. :Article for reference: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS418553Do we have a similar thing for Windchill RV&S to eliminate vulnerabilities? Getting CVSS score more than 10

Hello team,Could anybody explain the way these methods work?var isFieldChanged = delta.isFieldChanged(myTextField);var isFieldReallyChanged = delta.isFieldReallyChanged(myTextField);They always return FALSE even if I edited myTextField. Why?The idea is to use an own way of  "item is edited" process calculation.Using of "Significant Change Since Item Revision" field is not suitable for some reason.Regards 

How can we enable versioning of Trigger Scripts and Report Recipes in Integrity Lifecycle Manager? Better  if this can be done using some solution related to configuration Management.

Hello all,Maybe someone can help me with the following case:How to make a custom action that runs a trigger execution against selected ReqDoc?Regards

Hello,I am trying to export/import the test steps from PTC using the IRC tool (version 3.4), however, when I create the mapping I don't see them available, I always see the same type of documents to export (see attached image), test steps are not included even when I use the query in the mapping to get them. What am I missing? Thanks,Edgar

Is there a possibility to write configuration management client-side trigger to resync the sandbox members. Is there any sample available, any documentation which we can refer. Thank you!

We are trying to create a SI trigger which resync the Sandbox on development server (on the VM filesystem) automatically when the file is checked in (which contain custom triggers) on the Windchill RV&S client by any developer.The purpose is to deploy the trigger scripts, report recipes automatically on server (VM) instead of copy pasting the files manually.Please suggest how can we automate this process

 Logs from Trigger scripts are not visible in server logWe wrote the logs in trigger script same as given in the ptc help document e.g. function print(msg, level) {if (level == null) level = 5;Packages.mks.util.Logger.message("MYTRIGGER", level, msg);}but when we run the script, these logs are not visible in server logs.
