Windchill

While exporting the Structure BOM by selecting the “Multi Level BOM” option under the Reports tab, the BOM is currently exported with the report name followed by the Username and the current date. We would like to know if there is any possibility to export the file using the Number + Part Name instead.

HiI am trying to configure a 10.2 identical node type cluster with two nodes obviously one of which will be the active master.As per the Advanced Config Guide (http://support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/156979/en/WCAdvDeployGuide.pdf), the 2 properties that need to be set are:wt.rmi.server.hostname=Awt.cache.master.slaveHosts=B, C, DBoth these properties are set. But when I start Windchill, the MethodServer will start only on that node which is started first. For Ex. if I start Windchill on Node # 1 first, the Server Manager and the MethodServer both come up on it. But on node # 2 which is started after node # 1, only the Server Manager starts and never goes beyond the following line:INFO : wt.manager.CacheMasterNegotiator - Master stub retrieved: ServerManagerImpl$MasterServerManagerImpl_Stub[UnicastRef [liveRef: [endpoint:[xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx:5002](remote),objID:[-2dd23186:148e7679245:-7ffd, -7282938796370177322]]]]No MethodServer on node # 2. If I go back to node # 1 and kill the Server Manager

I need to populate the New Number field for thousands of parts/assemblies in Windchill. See attached example: The New Number simply needs to be the string between the first underscore and the file extension of the File Name field (red font). I hope I don’t have to individually copy paste each of these.  

I'm having issues with Windchill randomly booting me out of the renaming process of my files.More specifically, I'm trying to rename a list of new files in my Workspace before checking them in. When I start renaming them, Windchill will suddenly and without warning boot me out of the process which forces me to redo it again. It's getting really frustrating. I'm trying to replicate the issue. It seems using a combination of the Shift and Space keys on your keyboard seems to trigger it.Anyone else ever have this problem?

Hello guys , I want to hide Description attibute if it is not end item .it need to display only for end items .please suggest some approaches to achive it . Thanks !  

Hello ​@JC_Niyonkuru  Currently, classification is only supported for WTPart and WTDocument. Have you received requests for cycle classification from other customers as well (see below idea)? Is this feature planned for a future version of Windchill? I would need a response from you before deciding whether to add further customizations to the system due to the lack of a feature that already exists but is not available for all object types. Thank you for your attention Marco

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.0 and Datecode with CPS M010Critical vulnerability (CVSS10.0) in its Windchill and FlexPLM products. Want to add the immediate remediation steps but don't understand instructions.Currently have "D:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\HTTPServer\conf\conf.d\30-app-Windchill-Auth.conf" file. Do I simply create the new 90-app-Windchill-auth.conf and ONLY put the entry that was sent in the remediation or do I copy the 30-app file renaming to 90-app and have all of my configuration settings plus remediation??? Some of the replies to this topic were published during the recent read-only period.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Hello, We are running **PTC Windchill 13 with **SolidWorks 2024 integration. Visualization files are generated through WVS using a SolidWorks worker. We are trying to optimize publishing load and would like to change the publishing strategy slightly. Our lifecycle is approximately: Concept → Prototype In Work → Prototype Released → In Work → Under Review → Released → Obsolete Goal During normal design work (In Work), every CAD check-in generates the visualization viewable (Creo View / PVZ). When the design leaves the In Work phase, the geometry should no longer change. Therefore the last check-in in In Work would effectively be the final viewable generation. After that point: the existing viewable representation should remain attached to the CAD document / WTPart it should simply carry forward to the next lifecycle states Later, when the object is promoted to Released, we only want to generate the final deliverables: PDF (drawing) DXF (if parameter DXF

Using the attached QML, I was able to retrieve the users assigned to their respective licenses. However, the report is also returning the associated team roles along with the license or group names to which the licenses are mapped.Do you have any suggestions on how to exclude all team roles from the report? Although the criteria section technically allows filtering out roles, it is not practical to identify every possible role and create separate criteria entries for each one.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: To use the IFX library in the Creo for the Windchill fasteners and Also want to build standard fasteners library in the windchill from Fasteners available in the Creo IFX library.Description: Want to upload standard fasteners from the Creo IFX library to the windchill and also want IFX to fetch and use the fasteners form the windchill libraries when designer is using IFX tool in the Creo. But in the windchill the custom numbering scheme is configured for the standard parts in the windchill library. so also want to maintain that numbering scheme for the fasteners and they should be used by IFX library in the Creo when designer wants to assemble any fastener in his assembly.What configurations are needed to implement this functionality ? and how to do this ?Also is it possible to map the Creo parameter of the fastener parts directly to the windchill partslink classification attributes ? Versions : Windchill 13.0.2.6 and Creo 11.0.0.0

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We might have a requirement that will necessitate us to model the various machine setups of a machine , and use them for the operation as applicable, in the process plan.Description: Apparently, this requirement could be solutioned in many ways. for eg., 1. Use "Configurable Work Center" and use Set up variables captured as Option > Choices, then use the parameters of the process / requirements to give the setup required.2. Use Classification for the work center and pre create the instances of the work centers, with those values.3. OthersIt depends on the number of parameter variables and complexity, which I am yet to see the data. Wanted to hear from you experts on if you had come across such use cases and how was it solutioned.Even before that, I hope that Work center object can work as configurable item. Correct? ThanksHari  

I don't see the option "Add to workspace" in windchill commonspace. Other users in our organization have icon for this option at the location marked in the attached file. Is there any setting required to activate this option?Please guide me to resolve this issue.Regards,Kandarp
