Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Uploading CAD documents generates a sequence (00001234) number instead of name.Description: Our windchill system has always been setup such that any files that dont auto associate to existing parts are assigned a 10 digit sequential number. How do I change it so that files checked in are are given a number the same as the model - ASM001.asm associates to a part with the number ASM001 instead of 00001234?

How can I download primary content throug API? We are building an internal tool and are trying to extract EPM Document primary content and metadata from Windchilll PDMLink 13.We've tried with REST API, but could only extract metadata, without primary content.Can anyone point me to the right API that can be used for this purpose?We are also planning to create CAD Documents/Upload Primary content to them, so that is also something that we need to work on. Any kind of advice will help.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Need to add logic to set the subtype of the wtpart based on an attribute value selected by the user on the save-as page.Description: Is it possible to get the attribute values selected by the user on the save-as page in the CopyWTPartDelegate? I have successfully extended the default CopyWTPartDelegate with some custom code, but I can't figure out how to get a string value that the user enters/selects on the save-as page for an attribute and use that value in my CustomCopyWTPartDelegate.Article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS28799 states that custom attributes can be set on the save-as page since 12.0, and I have confirmed it. I have also seen that a listener approach may not work for this purpose: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS408331. I haven't tried it yet.

Hello,can anybody have a hint of what am I doing wrong? I am trying to create subfolder in the Windchill, using Postman application but all I got is the message "The syntax of the JSON document is not valid.".The query is POST:https://<myserver>/Windchill/servlet/odata/v5/DataAdmin/Containers('OR:wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct:169546')/Folders('OR:wt.folder.Cabinet:169590')/Folders('OR:wt.folder.SubFolder:248107')/Folders and the body is: (the example is from WIndchill REST Guide 2.4 page 466.{ "Name": "NewFolder",  "Description" : "Desc",} the headers are: Also, Authorization is done using wcadmin account.I tried different data in json body but without luck.Does anyone have a clue what is the problem? Best regards!    

I am probably missing something quite simple - I can't figure out a way to search within a certain folder and the subfolders in WC. In other words, if I have the WC context with the following structure: Product1 Context - Folder 1 - Folder 2  --- Subfolder A  --- Subfolder B - Folder 3 I want to run a search in Folder 2 and include files in Subfolers A and B in search results. It seems that searching in folders has been added in WC 10. When I go to WC -> Quick links > Help > Windchill Help Centre ,  it pops up a page called "Welcome to the Windchill 12.1.2.0 Help Center", so I assume I am using V12.1.2.0 and I should have this functionality.  From some searches online, I found these pages that may be relevant:https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/plus/r12.0.2.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/LclSrchSearchInContextBP.htmlhttps://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS22115 Based on the first link, I should be able

This ptc article explains how length and special characters can cause errors when people electronically sign change tasks: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS245000?source=search We have seen this in the past and increased the length already so that leaves special characters. The logs show this message:  wt.org.electronicIdentity.SignatureInvalidException: Password for signature is invalid. Checking my logs, I am seeing a handful of users experiencing this but one also states that sometimes its working and I am not seeing a widespread issue. Only really change has been new laptop deployments with Windows 11 roll out. If it is a problematic special character, it would make sense that only some users see it and we can advise to avoid that. Strange since passwords MUST include special characters so we just need to know what to avoid if that is truly the issue.  

A Change notice is stuck at 'release changeable' . The 'Audit Change Notice' is already completed. But the documents in the resulting objects state is not yet changed. The change notice is still running. The error in the process manager is attachedIs there a way out?

Windchill_12.1\Windchill\vaults\defaultsystemrootfolder folder. I want to decrypt these files so that I can check the files within the attachments from this location, but I can't access them because they are encrypted. I can't tell which files are PDFs. Could you help me with this issue? Note: The files appear encrypted with names like 000000000000a8.

is there any api to get only parts which are present in part structure tab or any other way if api is not present. for reference see the pic attached below.    

HI Team, If User disconnected from windchill, Windchill system immediately send the mail notification. or If user profile modified any mail alert enable it possible? I tried to the below Article, but it is not working immediately, If we need to trigger one action that user against then it will send the mail. Article - CS55124 - How to configure the email notification for disconnected principal in Windchill PDMLink.  

As per the original post.    So using NX 2306 and WGM 13.0.2.0  when I create a custom load_options.def, set to use "from folder" instead of "search directories", or "load_from_dir" instead of "load_from_search_dirs".  When I relaunch NX, the load options default back to search directories.  I verified in the NX log file, that UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS is set to the correct location, and I've verified that the load_options.def says "LoadOptions_LoadOption: load_from_dir"   Any thoughts on where WGM/Windchill stores this "search directories" info, so it can be edited?   For anyone wondering why, we have been experimenting with load options and times with "search directories" and "from folder", and even with a single search directory folder, load times are faster with "from folder".

I'm encountering an issue with a CAD drawing part where the version is labeled as B2. The problem arises in the `epmDocument` table where the `[versionLevelA2versionInfo]` value is consistently showing as 1. Despite there being 6 versions (A 1, A 2, A 3, A 4, B 1, B 2), all records display the value as 1. This issue persists across all data entries, although the versions appear correctly in Windchill.What could be causing this discrepancy, and how can I resolve it? Additionally, is there another method to check the versions of these parts via SQL? Note that the same issue is observed in the `wtpart` table as well.

In Check In screen, select a subfolder of the context parent folder for the CADdocument. Select Next. Auto Associate Parts to CAD Documents is selected. Finish. In Windchill, the CADdocument goes to the subfolder, WTpart goes to the parent folder.Description: User has a new CADdocument in workspace which was created in Creo. Select for check in. In Check In screen, select a subfolder of the context parent folder for the CADdocument. Select Next. Auto Associate Parts to CAD Documents is selected. Finish.

One of our designers had a problem modifying a Family Table that he created so instead of asking for help, went and created 3 independent part files with the sme number scheme.Now I want to merge them into the family as instances.Is this possible to do with Windchill 10.0 m040? I know I could do it with Intralink 3.3.Is there a PTC document that explains the process or has someone got a cheat sheet for the steps involved.Thanks.

Hi,    Found this issue bizarrely on a customer server however the following did not resolve it:    -  wt.index.enabled was already true  - Recreated org level indexing policy for WTObject > All > WBLIB - Deleted all indexing  Objects still showing no policy  - Selected "Reset objects with no policy" - Still showing with no policy  I guess this will have to be a PTC call but just wanted to share with you all.    Thanks.  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.1We have a JNDI adaptor to allow us to login using our corporate Active Directory credentials. It has been working fine. Then our IT group imposed a password requirements of 20 characters minimum plus at least one special character, on the bind password for the adaptor. After making the change the Windchill method server will not start - see error below. What are the requirements of the bind password? Are special characters allowed?Here are the errors that I facedwt.system.err - javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C09050F, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 775, v4563 ]
