We are in he process of implementing the Supplier Management module and one question we've been going back and forth on is where do we put the Supplier Parts.Originally I was thinking that they would be in the same container that the OEM part was in. But after thinking about it, we have several cases where there may be OEM parts that use the same Supplier Part and live in different contexts. Of course we'd love to avoid that situation from happening but the data we have is the data we're stuck with and all we can do is hope to prevent it from getting worse.What we are thinking right now is having one library for just Supplier Parts. This works well with COTS parts, but from a security standpoint if we use Supplier parts for our custom parts then we may have to think about more control.Love to hear how others have this setup and pros and cons to the current method.Today in production we have 4 pairs of attributes for manufacturer and manufacturer part number. This will give us a lot mor

When instances are added to the Family Table, I want an auto-generated number to be created for the instances according to the CAD Document auto-numbering scheme (as defined in OIR). The member name for the instances added by the user in the design table should be overwritten by an auto-generated number, according to the existing CAD Document numbering scheme in OIR.   There is one preference : Workgroup Manager Client ▶ Family Table Instance Creation ▶ Auto Generate Family Table Instance Number This is only for Autodesk, NX and Solidworks.   Does any similar preference exist for Creo as well?   Any help is appreciated.   Regards, -Arindam

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030-CPS14Having an issue creating a custom recipe for a work package via api calls. The setRecipe api I'm attempting to use returns a null value. Is there another way to create a custom recipe by way of a customization? If not, can anyone assist in why the setRecipe api is not working? Below is a snippet of the code I'm using to try and set it. I had a logger with a getRecipe call and it returned null.PersistedCollectionRecipe recipe = PersistedCollectionRecipe.newPersistedCollectionRecipe();// Set collector options on the recipeString COLLECTION_OPTIONS = "" + "CADDOC_DEPENDENTS:None," + "ASSOCIATED_WTPART:None," + "DRAWINGS:None,"+ "FAMILY:None," + "GENERICS:None," + "ASSOCIATED_EPMDOC:None," + "ASSOCIATED_WTDOCS:None,"+ "RELATED_NOTES:None," + "CHANGE_ACTIVITY_RESULTING_DATA:None," + "CHANGE_OBJECTS_AFFECTED_DATA:None," + "PUBLISHED_CONTENT:All," + "PROBLEM_REPORT:None,"+ "VARIANCE:None," + "CHANGE_REQUEST:None";recipe

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We are using options and variants, as well as classification. There is some overlap between options/choices and attribution on the classification node to support search and retrieval.Description: It seems inefficient to duplicate options and choices into the classification taxonomy and have users perform double entry to maintain the classification attribution. I haven't been able to find any out of the box configuration options or tools for this, but it seems our situation cannot be unique and I am curious if any other customer has successfully worked a solution for this. At first glance it seems there are two routes to explore.1) Customize at the data entry/creation step to force options and choices to drive attribute values onto the item2) Customize the search/retrieval to include classification, attributes and options and choices. Anyone have any other suggestions to share? 

Since Migration from Oracle to MS SQL Database, windchill performance is unstable.Performance degrades over time after Restart.Only Restart helps to make it better for a short time after which it degrades again.The Workflows become very slow. Tasks which shall be triggered in less than a minute takes more than 10-20 minutes, sometimes more.Sync robots are extremely delayed as well.We try clearing the blocking sessions in DB, but not much help

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Errors in logs at Windchill startup, but it starts.Description: This has been asked before, but as there's two different related articles I'm asking again. There's errors in logs at Windchill startup:com.ptc.paa.config.keystore.PAAKeyStore  - Error getting the value from the KeyStore file java.security.KeyStoreException: Could not load keystore file. However, Windchill starts and runs fine. There's two different solutions. One says to delete files and restart, another says to run -ant to recreate keystore. Which is enough? https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS287849https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS110492  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: WCA suggests setting wt.queue.executeQueues to "false". Currently it's "true". I see no issues, but both BGMS and MS log show rows related to queues suggesting both 'manage' them which probably is not most efficient. However, not sure which way to go. Wondering has 'queue management' changed between versions.This article says for 12.1.2.x that it should be set to "false" if Background Method Server is configured:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS295854 This one referencing 10.2 says queues fail, if it's not "true".https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS178571

Hi All, I am facing the same issue where I need to restart Worker daemon service manually, every time I re-boot windchill server and office worker server. The current situation is, We do monthly maintenance / backup and some update work. in result we need to restart Windchill services, server and publishing servers like office worker/Creo worker. We have to restart worker daemon service manually, it does not start itself. below is my current setting which shows it is set to automatic start and also /opt/ptc/Windchill_13/Windchill/conf/wvs/agent.ini file shows it autostart. but still we need to start it manually. Our office / Creo worker agent is windows server. out Windchill main server is Linux.   Regards, Khalid shamim

  This is a screen grab from the Part Classification facet. I use an identifier of no significance when defining the nodes but the display name is meaningful. Odd that I am seeing a mix of sometimes display name and sometimes internal node name (node###). What gives? Did it just get tired and give up? Windchill 11.1 M020.  

Hi. Can anybody advise how I can become trained to use the Windchill Bulk Migrator? Or is this just a tool that is used by PTC/PTC Partner consultants?
