Search for a Change Activity in Windchill/PDMLink

[ebeattie]

I want the ability to search for a Change Activity in Windchill/PDMLink. We have been able to do this for the past 5 years (9.1, 10.0).

We use this search a hundred times a day. Even though it is not supported in 10.2, We can still use it. possibly a left over from the upgrade from 10.0.

Query Builder reports can return Change Activities - essentially same as search but a different way of obtaining.

If I recall well this one, PTC is not supporting it anymore because of performance issues.

In Windchill 11 there is the possibility to use Query Builder reports in the search, so this should be a way to do it.

There is no change to support for searching for Change Tasks.  There is information in this TS article and here is an example from my server

Can see the doc.

Hi Jeff,

Your document is internal view only.

As you can see from the article below PTC does not suggest it to change searchableTypes.properties

Sorry for the delay - I was away.  I am working with TS to get the info updated.

Hi Jeff,

any answer from TS about this?

[JeffZemsky]

Should have it cleared up soon and have the correct TS info exposed and remove the info about not being able to search on them.

Thank you Jeff,

So is it definitely support by PTC to search by Change Task?

Have a nice weekend.
