Prior to Windchill 11.0: Required using the same Windchill Workgroup Manager CPS on both the server and client machines.   Windchill 11.0 M010 Onwards: You can use different CPS levels on the Windchill server and client machines within the same maintenance release. Workgroup Manager will now check version compatibility at the Windchill maintenance version level; not at the CPS level. Windchill Workgroup Manager is no longer installed from the Windchill server. A company now has the flexibility to have their end users at desired CPS levels and still connect to a single Windchill server.   For example, the following scenario is supported. A company has Windchill 11.0 M010 CPS05 server and user ‘A’ can connect to the Windchill server with Windchill Workgroup Manager 11.0 M010 CPS03 and user ‘B’ can connect to the same server with Windchill Workgroup Manager 11.0 M010 CPS07.   Illustrated below is the supported configuration.

Version 2.08 includes the following new features:     - New right-click Context Menu added to the results list for:             o Recovering Selected Files             o Recovering All Files             o Exporting the Results Table     - Timers that report:             o Elapsed time during the file “examination” process, i.e., File > Open,                and total elapsed time at the completion of the file examination process             o Elapsed time for file recovery, i.e., Recover Selected Files or Recover ALL Files.     - Minor clarification changes to the text of some dialog boxes.     - Minor bug fixes.     - Help option on the menu bar with options that will:             o Open the PDF User Guide             o Display an About dialog Special thanks to those that assisted with testing.   I am attaching the 64 bit version of the installer.  If the 32 bit version is still required, I will add it.   NOTE: This will be my final version of the tool.   I have retired and after a 50-year career that I have enjoyed thoroughly, it is time for me to bid you adieu! I wish you great success in your endeavors.   Now to the question many of you are likely asking. What will happen to the tool? At this point I haven't decided. Windchill Cache Recovery Tool version 1.0 development began in 2008 when I was between jobs and it was released at the end of that year. Version 2.0 was a rewrite of the UI and features were added with each release to where we are today - version 2.08.   I have years of effort developing this tool and to be honest, I don't want to give it up. But without access to the PTC tools and files needed, it will become impossible to continue its development. And with the amount of time I have invested in it, I don't feel I can just give it away. So, for now the source code remains in my possession.   Ron Thellen
