Windchill

Hi folks, I am looking into the possibility, need and touchpoints to integrate Windchill and MES. If anybody has done the same, could you share some light on the recommended middleware, and what should be the framework one should follow to do the integration. Thanks. 

Our NASA recently put SentinelOne virus protection on our production and test/dev servers. We have experienced some random issues with our Oracle database and Java runtime VM crashes. We also notice when the VM crashes, it wipes out the shortcuts to the Windchill shell, as well as overwriting the windchill.exe file to 0 bytes. Here is an example of the Java runtime error: ## A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:## Internal Error (safepoint.cpp:895), pid=2952, tid=13280# fatal error: Deadlock in safepoint code. Should have called back to the VM before blocking.## JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-11.0.19.7.1 (11.0.19+7) (build 11.0.19+7-LTS)# Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-11.0.19.7.1 (11.0.19+7-LTS, mixed mode, compressed oops, g1 gc, windows-amd64)# Core dump will be written.

Hi Guys,I want to delete the bulk old representation. How we can delete it in Windchill?Regards,Amir

Hi Everyone, I am currently working with SolidWorks and Inventor, both of which are successfully integrated with Windchill. The attributes are correctly mapped in the EPM Documents and are also visible within the respective CAD tools.   However, I’ve encountered an issue where these attributes are not appearing in Creo View when viewing the PVZ files, even though they are present in the native files. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? If so, I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this.   Regards, AJ

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.7I was curious how to compile just our custom Java code. I can't seem to find the right ant command.Should the Java files be put in /codebase/src/... and then I issue an ant command?If I compile our custom code to a Jar instead of several .class files, does this result in better performance? Where should the .jar file go?

Dear Team    one of our client facing the datalogger related issue the below error event is showing 1/6/2025 10:40:32 AM Error Data Logger Plug-in Unable to query recordset on Log Group 'NOF_PLC_IMP4'.

Rerun the transaction. after this error data is not logging to the SQL so for temporary solution i create the new log group with the same configuration & data is logging to SQL.

Hello everyone, I wanted to know how it is possible to search for a certain value of an attribute (of class) but only on the most recent version of the wt part. As I have tried now, by also setting the search filter last version, the non-last iterations of the wtparts that had that field previously valued also appear in the results. Matteo

New installation of SOLR 13.0.2.4 here. Its in and I have it running on RHEL 9, on a NFS mounted folder like I always have done.  System is running SELinux in enforcing mode. I copied my solr.service from my other systems (since I used the same paths) but its not working and cannot figure out way (but it sources sooo familiar). I am able to use my install user and start/stop it perfectly, no issues.  When I try to run this using systemctl, no joy. I need another pair of eyes on this.  Service definition: [Unit] Description=Windchill Solr Index Search After=network.target [Service] Type=forking RemainAfterExit=no PIDFile=<installpath>/SolrServer/solr/bin/solr-<port>.pid ExecStart=<installpath>/SolrServer/bin/Index_Search_Server.sh ExecReload=<installpath>/SolrServer/bin/Index_Search_Server.sh stop ExecReload=<installpath>/SolrServer/bin/Index_Search_Server.sh start ExecStop=<installpath>/SolrServer/bin/Index_Search_Server.sh stop User=

- Raw Materials Aluminium (24 in total)Aluminium Dimension (18)Cannot select directly the node Aluminium (18 wtparts). But I can select the subnode Aluminium Dimension and go to the Wtparts classification results from this subnode. For the Aluminium node (the parent), the only way i could get access to thoses 18 wtparts plus the 18 of aluminium Dimension , was to select select Search button near of Hide Image. Is there another way to select this node directly ? Why do I need to do an extra click to get access of thoses wtparts classified in Parent node?(view in My Videos)

Documenting this error since I did not see any posts or articles related to it and my memory stinks so I will forget about it in a month.

Hello,I created a custom ClassifiedObjects.json configuration for the ClfStructure domain so as to return more properties than the defaults provided by Windchill. REST / OData Version we are using: windchill 2.2.2 REST Services NOTE: we are talking about this type of query, for instance GET [host]/Windchill/servlet/odata/v3/ClfStructure/ClfNodes('CT11101010')/ClassifiedObjects?$count=true All is fine except for the mapping of an internal field whose internal Windchill type is: com.ptc.core.meta.common.FloatingPoint Since we are dealing with a "Real Number" (as stated in the Windchill GUI) I expect this to be mapped as a "Double" or "Single" like so: { "name":"StockQty", "internalName":"INVENTORY_ARTICLE_STOCK, "type":"Double"}, However, using both Double or Single datatypes will yield the following server response: { "error": { "code": null, "message": "The value '(Unassignable)' is not valid for property 'StockQty'." }} Mapping the pro

Hello,I'm currently trying to analyze the "Recent Projects" section in Windchill using SQL queries. So far, I’ve identified the Project2 and PlanActivity tables. However, I’ve encountered some inconsistencies:The Project2 table returns around 25 records without any filters.When I apply the filter statecontainerTeamManagedInf = 'RUNNING', the count drops to 21.However, the "Recent Projects" UI only displays 15 projects.This suggests that additional filtering may be applied internally, but I haven’t been able to identify the exact mechanism yet.Additionally, I need to retrieve the related documents, WTParts, or EPMDocuments linked to these projects, but I haven't found a clear way to do this yet.Here are my main questions:Is there a specific SQL table that directly reflects the "Recent Projects" displayed in the Windchill UI?How can I find the WTParts, Documents, or EPMDocuments that are linked to these projects or plans?Is there a WRS (Windchill REST Services) API endpoint that returns

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We're evaluating the eBOM/mBOM/work instructions in Windchill. What's the workflow when updating an eBOM?Description: We're evaluating the eBOM/mBOM/work instructions in Windchill. What's the workflow when updating an eBOM? You can easily compare an updated eBOM with your mBOM, but what kind of tools are available for the work instructions? With the part allocation you can see newly added WTParts currently missing from the process plan, and with the inconsistency report you can see which parts have been removed. But is there an easy method to tell which illustrations needs to be updated, because parts have been revised and geometry has been updated? Is it possible to update alle illustrations/images automatically without having to open them one by one in Creo Illustrate?

Basically, there is a workflow where at one task (after completed) the user has to choose between 3 different routes in a list. What I would like to do is have one particular route as the default (radio button is always on this route unless user specifies otherwise). The other 2 routes are optional (used less frequently).It looks like Windchill's default is to select the first radio button.Is there a way, in the workflow, to set the default (radio button) to that one specific route?
