Windchill

When a document is checked out via Office / Desktop integration, is being edited and then checked back into Windchill+, the browser page needs to be update in order to see that the version increment of the document has changed and that the check in process has been successful.Goal: when checking in the document from Office / Desktop integration, browser will update automatically to the new version of the document.

I noted this before I left for vacation after I installed this patch for both my DEV and TEST environments. Things appeared ok for the most part except when viewing a Part Structure tab. Using WC 13.0.2.4 on RHEL 9. Behavior is you get a blank tab that never responds, just the spinning loading wheel. Other tabs and pages appear fine. No error messages appear in MS log. Not a browser cache issue as I cleared my cache 100%. Patch does recompile jars and js files so anything could happen. I need to verify it but I believe the cause is related to file permissions. I see the error in Apache logs. Just need to validate it before closing thread.

We are currently planning for WTParts and we are trying to figure out how to manage attributes that are to be governed in SAP.  Our Current WorkflowFinished Goods (End Items) meetings are held to discuss necessary attributes to be entered into SAP   An Administrator fills out a spreadsheet with the required new finished goods. Sometimes there can be dozens of finished goods at once (even hundreds). The spreadsheet is sent to the SAP team for SAP import and part creation.Windchill Implementation AssumptionsWindchill/SAP Integration will be custom, 1 way (still to be developed) Some of the attributes for a Finished Good should not be managed in the WTPart, as they should be governed by SAP and any changes in SAP will cause a disconnect with the data in Windchill (due to the custom 1 way SAP Integration). We will be converting the current process from Excel and Email to Windchill. All attributes that were sent through Excel will be sent through Windchill. Windchill users will never want o

HiWe have more than 20,000 library parts, out of that 15,000 part successfully moved into windchill library folder .The remaining 5000 parts when I am moving to windchill from local drive, it is showing "CAD Part is not unique".Because of this issue , we were not able to upload the assembly .Windchill implementation team working on this issue last one month but still not able to find the root cause.Note:Those 5000 parts are not present anywhere inside windchill.

Let's say we have 3 different organizations: Apple, Banana and Cucumber.Each organization uses a different EPMDocument type. Apple uses the default "CAD Document" EPMDocument type.Banana has its own type called "Banana CAD Document". This is a subtype of CAD Document.Cucumber has its own type called "Cucumber CAD Document". This is a subtype of CAD Document. When uploading (& checking in) CAD objects from Creo Parametric to Windchill, the correct EPM Document type shall be used when creating the Windchill object. How can I do that?I know that you can do that with the UPLOAD_SOFT_TYPE attribute in Creo. So one easy fix would be to set up templates with this attribute. However, sometimes the engineers don't use these templates (because they forget about it). So are there other ways to ensure that the correct EPM Document type is used?

I want to upload a file in WindChill. They give to us an REST API with the services to do this. They split an upload of file in 3 stages. Stage 1 - We call a service where we give the number of files to upload. In this case only one. Stage 2 - A multipart/formdata where we give the file to upload. Stage 3 - The last stage where we give the file name, the file size etc... I think my problem is on stage 2. All the stages run successfully but when i try to open the uploaded file, in this case a pdf, the file is blank, but with the same number of pages of the original one. I compare the content of the uploaded file with the original one and the content inside is the same with a big difference. The original is with an ANSI encoding while the uploaded one is with the UTF-8 encoding. So, I think my problem is on the stage 2. I'm with some doubts on this stage. In C# I get the bytes[] of file, but in the end I need to pass this bytes to a string to send in a multipart form. Wh

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 ​@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
