Windchill

A few months ago our VAR mentioned some changes were coming to Windchill regarding possibly licensing or products, but at the time no specific info was available.  So far this is the first information I have seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klMKVSA5Zv0 Just curious, has anyone else out there heard about this or seen info posted elsewhere ? 

(Windchill RV&S 13.2.0.3).  Currently when a user views the details of a document. The Branches tab shows documents contained in projects that the user does not have access to.  Only the ID and the some fields are shown.  This causes confusion for the user when they double-click the row and try to view the document.  We would like to request a feature to hide documents contained in projects that a user does not have access to.  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.1.0It is necessary to confirm which versions of Windchill 12.0.X and Codebeamer 2.X are linked when establishing an OSLC connection between them.Please share the version information for OSLC connectivity between Windchill and Codebeamer so that I can refer to it for work purposes.If you could share the URL containing matrix information for this part, it would be very helpful.Please confirm and share the detailed conditions for this part.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.0Hi Team,Good Morning !!We have work on multiple project with many people work on the same and each people directly communication each other with eighter internal team or external team for particular task of same project and we use communication medium as a mail with project subject line.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Windchill Auto Associate missing during upload during upload of the CAD document.Description: Hello,I have already set in the preferences management about the 'Auto Associate upon check in' for parts. This works perfectly in the production environment.I can easily see the auto associate button in production environment.Can you help me what is missing in the test environment the option for the 'auto associate parts' is missing on the test environment ?When I check in the CAD part from Production Environment it automatically associates to CAD document.But in the test environment its not present.For reference, below are the screenshots.  Thank You in Advance. 

I'm getting started in query builder and I have a report that multiple pdp attributes. However all versions are returning, is there a way I can filter down for just the latest version?

We are using eclipse as tool and Configured Debug mode on the server.wanted to know is there any easy way to connect eclipse from local system and Configurations/Debugmode set up on Remote.as of now 2 developers can access remote at a time and it impacts the server performance.Is it possible to launch eclipse from local laptop and All debug mode & filesynch configured on remote server?

We have noticed that in our Windchill environment, some custom GET APIs have been added to WRS. By custom I mean they have names like test, deneme, etc., and in some cases, they match folder names. When we send a request to these APIs, they return the data contained within the corresponding folder in Windchill.The issue is, we don’t know who created these APIs — it seems someone did it unintentionally, and we only discovered them later.Does anyone know how this can be done, or have any documentation or examples explaining the process? This could be very useful in our development workflows.

Is there a method to configure a CAD driven BOM structure so a component (Qty 3 in CAD assembly) is listed three times as qty 1 for each occurrence so a COLOR usage attribute can be assigned to each?  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Our use case. we have Non Prod environments DEV TEST PRODUCTION.Using BAC can we import all the business admin changes  from lower environments which are executed on DEV -> Test and later to Production?Description: as of now we are loading Business admin changes (ACLs,OIR,Workflows,Lifecycle,etc) through load commands ..need more info on usage of BAC in Production deployments .anyone using in real time ?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Creo checkins remove custom attributesDescription: I have custom attributes for my WT parts. When I check in a part from Creo, it resets these custom attributes. How do i make it so the WT part inherits the previous attribute values on checkin from Creo?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: ers are stored in the database. My goal is to retrieve or audit which users were added to specific discussion topics for traceability or automation purposes.Description: Hi,I'm working with the DiscussionTopic feature where discussions are grouped around a document or a specific object, and notifications or communications occur among users added to that topic.I was able to find the DiscussionTopic I created in the database. However, I couldn't find where the users (members) associated with this topic are stored. These are the users I manually added to the discussion, but I cannot locate their records in the database.Could someone help me understand where I can find the list of users linked to a DiscussionTopic?Thanks in advance.

Version: Windchill Below 11.0 Use Case: Our old server that was running our Windchill database and vault is being decommissioned and will not be replaced. I need to get all of the CAD files out of it for historical reference. I no longer have access to any of the Windchill installers or old laptops that had this software installed on them.Description: My issue is very similar to this post:https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Export-all-CAD-from-Windchill-database/m-p/758411/highlight/true#M65150 However, I do not see any link to download the script that appeared to do exactly what I need. Does anyone have a copy of it? Or is there another way I can get the CAD out of the old server before it dies for good? I still have access to the old server, but I do not know for how much longer I will.

Folks, Curious if anyone has ever completed a Microsoft SQL to Oracle database migration for their Windchill implementation. I know there are lots of companies who have done the reverse migration but I cannot find anyone who has gone from SQL to Oracle. I have heard rumours of PTC customers who have transitioned from SQL to Oracle, but I am struggling to find anyone who has actually done it. Anyone have any information to share?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.3I am generating a report of assigned tasks, but none of the tasks running in a sub-workflow (a workflow running inside another workflow) appear in the report. I am using the "Wf Assigned Activity" type in the report and it works for all other tasks in that workflow. The tasks in the sub-workflow are also assigned. If I use the "Wf Activity" type I can see those tasks in the report, but I get extraneous data and then can't get assigned user information that I need. Is there another relationship I need in Query Builder to get tasks in a sub-workflow?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.1In our dev environment we installed Eclipse per documentation in the customization guide. This reduced the number of MethodServers from 3 to just 1. How do we restore the other 2 method servers with eclipse still running?Here are the errors that I faced No error message. Before eclipse setup, we had 3 method servers. Post eclipse setup with the required additions in the wt.properties file we have just 1 and can't find a way to restore the other 2.

Hello, We recently started to encounter a problem with multiple entries of the same manufacturing part/assembly being automatically added/generated when using the BOM transformer. A large part of our sub assemblies and parts are standardized and also have linked standardized manufacturing parts. This means that when we create an MBOM from an EBOM which in it’s assembly structure contains some of these standardized sub-assemblies/parts the manufacturing version of these parts are automatically added inside the MBOM structure. This in itself is desirable since it saves allot of time having to manually add or create these manufacturing versions every time. However lately we have found that when generating an MBOM multiple instances of the same manufacturing parts are added which have the exact same version, name and quantity. The double entries can be removed manually but could potently lead to problems in orders if the person constructing the MBOM is not aware or payi

Version: Windchill 12.1   Use Case: I have two roles, RoleA and RoleB that should be able to create change notices. RoleA can but RoleB cannot. Description: The policies for the two roles are the same for Change Notice and Change Task.  The roles are also both part of the Change Notice Team and Change Activity Team templates.  The roles are part of the Product that CNs are being created in.  When I look at the CN folder permissions, RoleA has Create where RoleB does not.  What could I be missing?

Version: Windchill 12.0   Use Case: The company I work at uses Solidworks and Windchill. We recently found a BOM error due to the creation of a Virtual Component in one of the CAD assemblies. The Virtual Component is saved in the SLDASM file and no external SLDPRT file is created. With no changes to Windchill and/or Workgroup Manager, Windchill will ignore this component and no CAD Document or associated Windchill Part will be created. Description: Curious how other companies using Solidworks as their primary CAD solution are dealing with Virtual Components in their CAD assemblies?   This ability is turned off in our default Solidworks settings file, but people have permission to change their settings.    Windchill and WGM support Solidworks Virtual Components, but it’s an all or none option. You can turn the capability on at the Site level or leave it disabled, which is the default. Please let me know if my assumption is correct here.I think it's cool for referenc

I am having the same issue as this topic: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Upload-failure-starting-quot-Upload-Failure-code-J03-WCCLD/m-p/384733#M45043 , we are on ePDM 12, Creo 11.0.4  any ideas what could cause this?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.0We recently integrated our Windchill system with SiliconExpert via API using the SiliconExpert Synch extension to synchronize compliance attributes such as REACH and RoHS. While synchronization works correctly for some parts, we’re encountering issues with others: The SuMa Part Synch option successfully checks and sets the values. However, the corresponding attributes remain empty in the Windchill interface. When we recheck the same parts, the values do not match — as if they were not previously set. That suggests that the synchronization is partially working but not fully updating the Windchill attributes for certain parts. Additionally, Windchill text attribute (e.g. reach_cas_number) does not accept multiple values when formatted as 7440-43-9 || 7439-92-1 in SE API. We would like to understand what format the receiving attribute expects so that the values from the SiliconExpert API are correctly populated.Here a

Hello Community,We have a scenario where our company serves more than 150 customers, and for them we design and manufacture products such as:Electric BusElectric School BusElectric CoachWithin each of these product lines, we manage multiple subtypes (e.g., 9M Bus, 12M Bus, 12.5M Bus, etc.). Further, each subtype is broken down into multiple subsystems such as:WheelsAxleSuspensionWindowsInteriorExteriorAdditionally, we have around 10 lead engineers, each of whom works across multiple subsystems.We would like guidance on the following points:What is the best practice for modeling this hierarchy in Windchill – should we define at the Product Family → Subtype → Subsystem level, or follow another structure?How should common subsystems (e.g., standard wheels or suspension reused across subtypes) be managed to ensure reusability and avoid duplication?What is the recommended way to define roles/permissions, so that subsystem leads can collaborate across multiple subtypes while still maintainin
