Windchill

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!

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Wondering if there's successful implementations of publish worker with File Synchronization for SolidWorks 2023 SP5.0 on virtual Windows Server 2022. Tried with (and some other combination also..) WWGM 12.1.2.1 and Creo View Adapters 10.1.0.0, but publish fails stubbornly with "WWGM ERROR: Loading addin "\x86e_win64\obj\swadapter_loader_net.dll" into SolidWorks failed". Windchill installation would be version 12.1.2.5 I know the above combination is not in the list of PTC tested combinations, but the one we have with SolidWorks 2021 is not either and it's working fine.Description: --

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!

Hi Gents. I have seen this same issue as this topic: Using Major/Minor revisions - PTC Community, - how to interpret and structure "major.minor", as R&D Lead in several organisations. (Defence, Oil & Gas, Consumer Electronics), and have found this thread while trying to understand what windchill implements as standard. My take is this: Lets choose to interpret minor change as No NEGATIVE Impact on "FFF" **at the level of the item in question** AND NO change required to any production documentation, test procedures or impact on requirements.Major change is the converse of this. Rationale. In engineering assemblies, as long as the change we make on our part/assembly still meets the requirement on it with **at least** the same margins, AND impacts nothing else (as above) then it is **fully compatible**. It is a minor revision. The fact it may have improved something, is for the product manager to take advantage of at a higher BOM level when that becomes relevant for sales. Th

Hello,We’re currently looking for a solution to connect our ERP system, Infor Syteline, with Windchill 13.Could you let us know which tool or connector you’ve used for this integration?Thanks in advance!

I have created two attributes in Windchill that makes use of enumerated value lists. I have introduced cascading attribute rules against the object type which is associated to the two attributes. My cascading attribute rules stipulate that if a value for attribute 1 is set to X, then the value for attribute 2 should be set to Y. I have configured the "Create New Layout" for this object type to contain these two attributes. When I set the value of attribute 1 to X, attribute 2 does not display a value of Y automatically. Instead, the dropdown list of values associated with attribute 2 decreases to two to select from - a value of Y and an option to set the attribute value to blank. I want attribute 2 to be set to a value of Y without giving the user the ability to select between a value of Y or blank. I am aware that it is possible to specify that attribute 2 should not include any blank options in the dropdown list it is associated with. However, this will not work for me since I d

Hello. Does anybody know if it is possible to achieve the scenario above? I have created a custom "Problem Report Workflow". The OOTB "Problem Report Workflow" contains a synchronize robot that should result in the state change of the problem report being set to "Resolved" when the associated change request is completed. I have replicated this config with my custom problem report workflow but I have adapted the synchronize robot with the aim of it synchronizing when the change notice completes. This is in ciontrast to it synchronizing when a change request completes. I'm not aware of any issues with my new workflow. However, I've noticed that I cannot add problem reports into the "Associated Process Objects" table when creating the change notice. Consequently, I don't think I have a way of my problem reports becoming "Resolved" at the same time as the change notice completing if I cannot add the problem report to the change notice as an "Associated Process Object".

We encountered this error message when transferring simple text comments to rich text comments. This is alluded to here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS297322?source=search where it mentions that comments with special characters will be ignored. I am posting more as documentation rather than a question for the field. I have a customization that takes task comments and copied them to a discussion forum so it must be able to handle anything the user can submit. Looking at my logs, I think it does not like & at least but need to get a complete list.  Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 68; The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. method that threw error was  at com.ptc.core.richtext.HTMLText.setFormattedText(HTMLText.java:369) https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS293387?source=search Last one found for context when descriptions were converted.

I have a number of updates to do for about 100 parts so want to make use of the import from spreadsheet. The OEM parts, Mfg and vendor parts all exist. What I am looking to do is have each part of 2 MFG parts and those two MFG parts have a vendor part which is basically the same part. Also, in some cases, the AML exists partially meaning that the MFG parts are already linked. We are just adding the additional vendor part relationship.  The sheet validated ok but import failed with "Sourcing entry already exists".  Resorting the sheets ...
