WReadE V1.0 – NEW!

 

Windchill+ Readiness Diagnostic Extension

The Windchill+ Readiness Diagnostic Extension is a standalone utility that can be used to collect data for the assessment of a Windchill environment and determine readiness of the environment to move to Windchill+. The extension identifies the following details — Windchill version, modules and configuration, and customizations applied to the out-of-the-box Windchill server.

On execution, the Windchill+ Readiness Diagnostic Extension generates an output package. This output package is sent to PTC through Windchill Performance Advisor. The mechanism to manually upload the output package is also available on the support portal (Windchill+ Readiness Data Upload).

    @sgaikwad31,

    Assuming the upload was successful, how long should it take before the results are available on the Performance Advisor website?  It's been 2.5 hours since the upload finished and I'm still not seeing anything.

      @unknown 

      The above gadget indicates that the reports are available and now you can perform/view the assessment.

      You need to click on the above link "Click to start your SaaS journey today" to view the Windchill+ assessment results, 

      There are 3 questions which need to be answered before you see the Overall SaaS assessment result. 

       

      Thanks

      -Sandeep

        @sgaikwad31 ,

        Thanks!  Next question.  I have an 'out of the box' install of Windchill 12.1 2.4 that I'm testing this on, and the assessment is telling me that there are hundreds of customizations present.  There certainly are not.  Will a later CPS trip up this tool?  The tool is claiming that my 'Current Release' is 12.1.2.0, but it's actually 12.1.2.4.  Would that possibly cause this behavior?

        Is it manadary to send the Windchill Diagonstic reports to PTC ( WPA being enabled)? There is an checkbox , where user can choose not to send the reports to PTC . I found , In that case the utility doesn't work .

        Any feedback on this? Am I missing something ?
