Question

Generate a data file without registering WPA with PTC server

We would like to begin looking at WPA by generating a data file see what information it collects.  All of our Windchill servers are blocked from making outgoing connections to the Internet.  So I am unable to register the server with PTC.  Getting a new firewall rule approved to allow outgoing connections to apps.ptc.com is going to require multiple levels of approval and take a considerable amount of time.  Is it possible to generate a data file for analysis, without activating WPA?  Like a command issued in a Windchill shell?

You can preview the data without actually sending anything.  This is from Site --> Utilities:

Tom,

I think preview it's only for Windchill 11.

I can't see preview button on 10.2 M030 CPS12.

This is from 10.2 M030.  (Of course you do have to install the WPA patch first...)
