"File name too long" even after renaming

Version: Windchill 12.0

 

Use Case: Trying to check in a file File was originally created with a verbose, temporary name File was renamed after final revisions Check in attempted and failed


Description:

Good afternoon PTC Community,

 

I am trying to check in some part and assembly files on Windchill. 

Windchill thinks that the files names/descriptions are too long, despite being renamed. The original file names were over the 60-character limit, and they have since been renamed to be much shorter, but Windchill seems to not have noticed, eg; it will say a name like '10-376-1.prt' is too long.
The problem persists with copies of the original, and regardless of whether I am using windchill from creo or a browser. 

Has anyone discovered a solution to this?

As an addendum, it would help solve some related issues if anyone knew of a method to move files between workspaces.

If the issue is reproducible on test server , you may enable logger wt.pom.sql to Debug and share the logs

Remember, there are multiple fields that get checked when putting files into Windchill.

Do you have a screen shot of the object details page that shows all of the name information.
