Yellow Confrimation Bar

[GregOlson]

Is there a way to disable this function or shorten the amount of time it shows up?

Hi, Greg,

A new preference will be introduced at 10.2 F000; it will allow you to specify the length of time for which the confirmation message is displayed. The default is 3 seconds.

Thanks for the speedy reply...so in 10.0 there is no way to disable? We have users that are printing and they are constantly closing that bar to get at the search box.

I don't see anything in the 10.0 Windchill Help Center that describes how to do so; sorry!

Greg,

I've learned that there is also a TAN for this issue: https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS46987.

The TAN describes a procedure for changing the message duration value.

I dig more into this and observed it is merely hard to completely disable this banner messaging in Windchill 10.1. However I am able to do just flash it as soon as object is created and quickly fade away.

If that is okay for you, below are the steps:

1. Open messaging.jsfrag file located at <WT_HOME>\codebase\netmarkets\javascript\util\jsfrags\messaging directory using notepad editor

2. Change Value of PTC.messaging.deferTimeoutMill to 1 (PTC.messaging.deferTimeoutMill = 1) at line 12

3. Change below line as: (line 17)

PTC.messaging.deferTimeoutMill = parseFloat(pref) * 1000 ;

to

PTC.messaging.deferTimeoutMill = parseFloat(pref) * 0000 ;

4. Save above changes.

5. Execute below command from Windchill Shell:

ant -f bin\jsfrag_combine

6. Make sure BUILD SUCCESSFUL

7. Stop Windchill Method Server

8. Clear Tomcat, Info*Engine cache

9. Restart Windchill Method Server

10. Also clear Browser cache and open new browser session

12. Try creating new object

13. You will observe Confirmation banner just flashes and disappears.
