Windchill

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.3 Creo 8.0.5.0 chromium browser is blank and the tabs show up as small windows in the corner that can be set to fullscreen but are otherwise unusable. Already tried (all failed): - DPI compatibility override on parametric.exe (Application/System/System Enhanced) - Changing display scaling (including to Windows-recommended value) - Clearing local cache (.wf and Creo\Platform folders) - Deleting creo_parametric_customization.ui - CEF/Chrome environment variable flags

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.13 What dictates the value of template.templated which is often used to dictate the life cycle an object is set to in OOTB OIRs?

With the 13.1.4 patch there were some “enhancements”  made to the rich text editor.There is increased functionality allowing users to embed images directly into the fields, but we are noticing some unwanted trade offs already. The text box is smaller. Change Notices that have a lot of text are now reduced to a smaller viewable box, where 13.1.2 it was almost double. Users also cannot select words or lines out of the text box, but the entire field of text.Is there any way of getting around this? Reverting the field to a plain text field is not an option at this time.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.0.2 I created a configurable Describe Link for two document subtypes. For the parent document subtype, the Describe Link is visible in the UI. However, for the child document subtype, the Describe Link is not visible in the UI.

Hi there,after successfully Installing Windchill 13.0 including working Solr-Server and working “search” within windchill, I migrated my data to that new location.all issues in upgrademanager were solved successfully.I can accesss my files and all data is shown. I even can checkout files with Creo Parametric and check them in again.But Indexing does not work at all. Solr - Server is running. I can login via http://localhost:8085Credentials for solr are set in Windchill via xconfmanager -s wt.index.solrAdminUser=<User> -t codebase/WEB-INF/conf/index.solrAuth.properties -pxconfmanager -s wt.index.solrAdminPassword=<Password> -t codebase/WEB-INF/conf/index.solrAuth.properties -pBut queue is not starting.The number of “remaining items” is stuck at 20k+ items, the number of processed Items is stuck at zero( Site → Utilities → Indexing Administration ).I tried “windchill wt.index.BulkIndexTool” in windchill’s hell and I got this:Core 'wblib' is selected.

Dear Team, We are using Auto Associate option to create WTPart while doing checkin of CAD documents.Now, for some numbering scheme - Suppose the CAD number included “Dummy” then for that CAD document - We don’t want to create WTPart in Windchill.We are still following the same approach - WTPart creation using Auto Associate option.How can we achieve this scenario?

HiI like to add disposition information when exporting a ECN by ERP Connector. Does anyone know how to add the disposition values to the output?

When creating a Change Notice from a Part Details Page Actions it does not add the part automatically to the affected objects table in the CA. IS there a preference for this ? 

Hello Team,We would like to seek your support regarding the following customer requirement.Customer Requirement – Lifecycle State-Based Publishing:The customer wants to configure publishing based on a specific Lifecycle State. Currently, publishing is occurring for all Lifecycle States, but the customer requires publishing only when the object reaches the “Released” state.The requirement is applicable to both:EPM CAD Documents (Creo, Inventor, SolidWorks) WT Documents (Office documents)Could you please confirm whether it is possible to configure Windchill to publish only objects in the “Released” Lifecycle State and prevent publishing for other states?The customer is using Windchill 12.1.2.7If this configuration is supported, could you please share the relevant PTC Article / Please provide the steps Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your support. 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.4 Hello, i am working in modelization of types and attributes in Windchill objects. I want to modelize the creation of new attributes using Local/Standard Attributes. Our implementation process is : - Create a Softtype as a subtype of standard type - Run AddColumn utility - Create Local/Standard Attributes through Type And Attribute Manager Once the development done, we put in code configuration : exported types (XML format), *TypeInfo.java, *TypeInfo.classInfo.ser, SQL File (Alter Table add column). When the Standard/Local attribute is created, the available column is allocated, but the issue is that when we deploy in differents environments, it seems to have a gap in the mapping between the Business attribute and the column in DataBase. For Example : - Env 1 : attr1 mapped to PTC_STR_1TYPEINFO and attr2 mapped to PTC_STR_2TYPEINFO - Env 2 : attr1 mapped to PTC_STR_2TYPEINFO and attr2 mapped to PTC_STR

I created a new drawing a part in one of my workspaces, but between switching to other projects I forgot which workspace I created it in.  How do I search all my workspaces for this part and locate which one it is located in.  Is there a way to search your workspaces?

We are using Windchill to manage aircraft repair parts and have a set of standard General Notes, currently numbered GN01–GN30.Each GNxx is a reusable standard note. For example, GN05 is one standard WTNote containing the approved text.The problem is that the same standard note may need to appear under a different G-number depending on its position within an individual repair.For example:Repair A requires GN01–GN10 → displayed as G01–G10 Repair B may not require GN03, so GN04 might need to appear as G03 Another repair may use GN05 as G04We can currently use Add Note to add an existing GN05 to a Part, which is what we want from a reuse perspective. However, the Name belongs to the WTNote itself. Therefore, changing GN05 to G04 would change the name of the actual shared note rather than just its designation within that particular Part.What we would ideally like is:            Master WTNote                 GN05              /       \             /         \       Repair A       Repair B  

Hi everyone,We have a highly customized Windchill REST Services (WRS) endpoint functioning perfectly in Windchill 12.1. We developed this using a custom domain setup with import.json and a complex import.js file for an unbound function.Inside our import.js, we heavily rely on the Nashorn engine using Java.type(...) to access core Windchill APIs. For example, we dynamically call wt.session.SessionHelper.getPrincipal() and com.ptc.projectmanagement.assignment.AssignmentHelper to fetch and manipulate user resource assignments directly from the JS context.We are currently planning an upgrade to Windchill 13.0. I noticed in the release notes that the WRS framework in WC 13 has been updated to support Java 17, OpenJDK Nashorn, Tomcat 10, and Olingo 5.0.My questions for those who have migrated to Windchill 13: 1. Are there any known syntax or runtime compatibility issues with the new OpenJDK Nashorn engine when making heavy Java.type() calls to WC core classes compared to the standard Nashorn

Hello,In a CAD-centric configuration (Windchill 12.0.2.8+SolidWorks), to handle “wire” and similar component with multiple representation, we use the Flexible Assembly method and its fine...until we need to Released this Part in order to Released a Product (EBOM) while other CAD Team also use this Part to work on the design of other products (EBOM)… As soon as we need to do a Change notice, I fear that the problems will start :Who across the different CAD Team is responsible of this Change notice is not clear.The Change notice will be open during a longue periode.Change request coming for released product or on the document of this Part will leads to the need to modify and Released this Part while other new CAD linked to this Part for new product are still not approved.How to manage properly the lifecycle and change management of the “Wire” Part (EBOM) using the Flexible Assembly method?(We have MBOM with no CAD, visualization for MBOM is based on the BOM structure and the occurrence l

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.13 Currently we are looking for a way to upload local files to the representation of EPMDocument. We think using custom publish mechanism via doPublish API can be a solution, and checking the web page below that introduces usages of the doPublish API. https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r13.1.2.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/customization/WCCG_BusLogicCust_WCVisualization_CustPublish.ht ml However, we are not sure if this API can be used without Windchill Visualization Service configuration. Currently we do not have any WVS configuration, and as our understanding, configuring a WVS worker and letting WVS publish workflow works properly require bit tough development effort. Hence, if the doPublish API must be used upon a proper WVS configuration, we will look for another way. Could you kindly answer the question if the doPublish API can be used without Windchill Visualization Service configurati

Hi there,I just realized, that the Critical Patch Set Bundle 13.0.2.13 changes the configuration value of wt.webserver.protocol in wt.properties.xconf from “https” to “http”.“Server Status” in “Site → Utilities” then shows “SITE NOT RESPONDING” under section “File Servers”.At this point You cannot access the home page, detail pages or workspace content.Steps to reproduce:Installation of Windchill 13.0.0.0 on an “empty” system with example data and demo user Enabling SSL according to https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r13.0.0.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCInstallConfigGuide/WCInstall_HTTPSApacheWCConfig.html Installing Critical Patch Set 13.0.2.13 with option “keep Webserver configuration” To Fix the issue:start Windchill - Shell and check with xconfmanager, where wt.webserver.protocol is defined xconfmanager -d wt.webserver.protocol That should give You something like this: Property information for 'wt.webserver.protocol': Values: - https Locations: - file:/D

I'd like to retrieve the license count and consumption that we have in Windchill so that we can report on that in Dynatrace. I'm looking for any opportunities to retrieve via API, output to logs, or any other creative way to retrieve that information from Windchill. Being able to see our license consumption in Dynatrace would be very helpful.  Has anyone else done something like that before?

This article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS334782 says we can’t set our task deadline to today’s date.  It keeps saying it’s in the past.  Is there a workaround that anyone has found.  We often have tasks that go to the user the day it’s due and we’d like to set that date to today’s date.

Hello everyone,We are experiencing an unexpected behavior when editing an attribute on a Process Plan within the Process Plan Browser. I would like to check if this is a known bug (SPR) in Windchill 12.0.2.9 or if there is any workaround/configuration fix available.Environment: Windchill Version: 12.0.2.9 Module: MPMLink (Process Plan Browser) Object Type: MPMProcessPlan Issue Description: When updating a custom string attribute directly from the Attributes tab (child tab) of the Process Plan Browser: Value gets appended as an array: If the current value is 1, and we delete 1 and type 2, upon refreshing/reloading the browser, the attribute value turns into [1, 2]. Cannot clear the attribute: If we delete the entire text to leave the field completely blank and save, the previous value is not cleared and persists after refreshing. What we have already verified: Attribute Definition: Checked in Type and Attribute Management — the attribute is explicitly configured as Single-Valued (

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 (Datecode CPS 12.0.0.3). I encountered an issue during the .drw conversion process where the geometry from a *different* drawing was pulled in and converted into DWG and Creo View formats. While other drawings converted normally, this specific one incorporated content from another drawing. The converted filename matches the WT Part, but the actual file content corresponds to a different drawing. However, the drawing opens correctly when viewed in Creo. How can I identify and verify if other instances of this issue exist?
