Solved: Windchill IFX download

ChiselnMallet1 · ‎Dec 27, 2019

Hello,

IFX catalogs and fastener data is unable to download to the local users machine from windchill. We are running windows 10. I am the admin and all the .dat files uploaded to Windchill are from my computer. I have not trouble downloading if I run CREO in administrator mode. But other users only get as far as Windchill writing the ifx_catalog folder and ifx_fastener_data folders. The files from windchill are not able to be written to the local computer.

Any tips on how to get this to work?

UPDATE: The url for the windchill locations to ifx_fastener_data and ifx_catalogs in my case started with "wtpub://Windchill/..." the syntax is "wtpub://server alias/". My server alias was "windchill". Lower case "w". When I changed the server alias to have a capital "W" it worked fine...

Long story short... the alias is case sensitive when used in the URL.
