I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.2

Windchill performance advisor does not have the transmitted data Windchill is configured to send. The test transport reports that it was successful but I can only see a few license reports in the performance advisor tool. No other reports are present.

How long have you been using Performance Advisor?
Was the data being sent correctly and then stopped loading?

 

To see if there are problems on sending you can also check what is being written to the Background Method Server logs

 

This is a summary article of information on this topic.

I have been trying to use Performance advisor for a couple months but have never been able to get information in there. I attached the background server log. The first entries seem to be encountering an issue with the attribute naming length. I am new to this company so I did not set up the OIRs but I do not see in the log which OIR would be causing that character length issue if that is indeed what is preventing the report from generating and being sent to the Performance advisor. Please advise if these reports are saved in windchill, if so, where I can see the reports that are sent and what object types they are.

Let me preface this by saying that I've been using the Performance Advisor tool for Creo since 2018 and, since it became available (version 10.2), also for Windchill so I've had a chance to see all the transformations it has had.

 

It is definitely a useful tool, in theory, but it often has problems of various kinds and therefore I have had to open several calls to support for issues that I have found.

 

One of the things that has been changed, several times, over the last few months is the location where the reports are saved.

 

You used to be able to set it from the configuration page of the tool while now they are saved, automatically, within the Windchill DB and you can see them, from the GUI, by clicking on Site --> Folders.

Above are the contents of my folder, updated to the last submission made to PTC.

 

Below you will find what I see in my Performance Advisor dashboard for Windchill regarding transmitted data (day, type, and status).
