I am using Windchill PDS - Internal Site Release 10.2 and Datecode with CPS N/AWe need to change the default Apache ports in our Windchill PDMLink 10.2 environment. Currently, Apache is running on the default ports (80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS). Please provide guidance and best practices on which configuration files and Windchill settings must be updated, as well as the recommended validation steps after the change.I would also like to schedule a call with PTC Support to go over this issue in detail and ensure the port change is implemented correctly without downtime or impact to integrations. Please let me know available times for a session.

I hope to share a method which I think might make filling out AML/AVL entries faster, at least in my company. See, most of my OEM parts are the same as the MFG part so it literally a copy task to fill out. The one by one method is too damn slow and with version 13's expose org preference, a total PITA. I've done most of the big sweeps via excel imports so what's left is small blocks of parts lacking AMLs. Tough to find and fill out.  I have a report (QML) above that export the full AML/AVL I care about. I have observed that often similar part numbers are in order from the same MFG but just not entered in. I just need to add in MFG name and as a base, they would be approved to start. What I need is a way to make that notation and generate the import sheets for those notations.  I have settled on a VBA macro (.xlsm) that will pull in the QML reports of AML/AVL with gaps and all Suppliers. From there, I can just note the MFG or Vendors as drop downs to make notations. Then a ma

I am using Windchill PDM Essentials Release 10.2 and Datecode with CPS M010-CPS09We’re investigating a client-side performance issue and need assistance changing the external HTTP listener from port 80 to 8080 for Windchill PDM Essentials 10.2 (PTC HTTP Server/SQL/Apache front-end,).Observation: In multiple tests from our India site, large file downloads are noticeably delayed only on port 80; other ports do not show the delay.Request: Please provide/confirm the supported procedure for Windchill 10.2 to (1) move Apache from 80 to 8080, (2) avoid conflict with SQL and etc.. default 8080 connector, and (3) update any Windchill URL properties if required.Environment is Windows (PTC HTTP Server + Windchill/Tomcat). We can provide logs if needed.Here are the errors that I facedAre you aware of any known issues or restrictions affecting large file downloads over port 80 from India, possibly related to government network policies? If so, can you recommend any alternative solutions besides cha

I have created a sub-type of a "Change Notice". I would like to hide the "Location" attribute from the "Create New Layout". I have selected the "Location" attribute from under the "Attributes" tab of the sub-type before navigating to the "Visibility" tab and setting the attributes visibility to "Hidden" for the "Create New" operation. However, the "Location" attribute continues to display when I try to create a new instance of my sub-type. I have a requirement to remove the "Complexity" attribute from the same layout. I was able to do this successfully by following the same approach detailed above for "Location". I'm unsure why this would work for one attribute and not another. Can anybody shed any light on this?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.8Is it better to use Profiles or configure actions for roles to hide actions? What are the advantages or disadvantages to each? What is the bare minimum that needs to be on in a profile to see Products and Libraries? Is there any way to get rid of some of the OOTB tabs?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: See the generated numberDescription: Hi, My request is to set autonumbering for objects while giving the user the ability to modify, for that I'm following this article How to Turn on Autonumbering for CAD document but also allow override the number during Save As or Rename in Windchill PDMLink. This is working and Windchill shows the label Generated, my question is it possible to let the user sees this number (during creation)?Because the user can modify the number, it's worth letting him see the one generated to decide whether to modify it or not.  Thanks in advance, #autonumbering #autonumber #numbering #numbering_schemes 

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I need to extract the check-in and check-out details of parts from Windchill data base. I located the table (EPM Document) and the column (State Checkout info) which has below values: 1. C/i 2. C/o 3. Wrk 4. Wrk-P I assume C/I & C/O mean check in and check out respectively. But what do WRK & WRK_P mean? Please advise.Description:  

I added a task out change task that is shall we say a good idea but not critical to the overall execution of the release. I notice that the these tasks are still running long after the change notice workflows are complete. I can manually go in and close them out since at this point, their need is no longer required. What is the best way to automate this?   I was thinking of adding a sync task that would spin up in parallel and when the change notice hits released state, close out this task. If the task closes first, it would close out the sync task and there by complete the workflow. Is this the only way to do this?

Article cs366586 refers to creating 2 mapping xml files. When I run the windchill wt.org.util.ReconnectPrincipalsUtility command below, it errors with mapping file not found. I assume that both the dnMapping and adapterMapping files need to be placed in a $WT_HOME directory before running the windchill comand. Can someone give advice on where these should be placed and if any wt.properties need to be set Thanks in advance TJ <dnMapping>\n       <reconnect>\n            <sourceDN>uid=$email,ou=<>,cn=<>,cn=<>,o=ptc<sourceDN>\n";           <targetDN>uid=$email,ou=users,dc=xxxxxxx=,dc=okta,dc=com</targetDN>\n";       <reconnect>\n<dnMapping>\n <adapterMapping>           <sourceAdapter>ne

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We are trying to establish a FlexNet floating license server for windchill risk and reliability. The server installation seems to be fine, but client machines are not able to access the server.Description: Based on experience with other SWs, we are aware that our IT does not allow communication among computers inside our intranet (not sure why), we need to submit exception request to allow it case-by-case. During the license server configuration, we defined its communication port number, but IT still asks which program in the server computer needs to be allowed to communicate through this port. Without knowing much details, we provided the path of lmadmin.exe. However, after this exception request was approved and implemented, the license server still does not work. Can someone here tell whether lmadmin.exe is the right program that need to access TCP/IP port, and whether any other programs need accessibility to port as well? Thanks!

Tried with (and some other combination also..)

We are currently exploring an integration between Windchill PLM and Assent Compliance. As you may know, PTC has retired Windchill Product Analytics (WPA) beyond 11.1 and partnered with Assent to address evolving regulatory requirements such as REACH, RoHS, SCIP, Conflict Minerals, and IPC-1752B standards.I’d like to check if anyone in the community has:Already implemented or piloted a Windchill–Assent integrationInsights into what capabilities can and should be integrated (e.g., BOM data exchange, supplier declarations, compliance reporting)Lessons learned, challenges, or best practices during such an integrationAny guidance, references, would be highly appreciated!
