Windchill

In our ThingWorx Navigate platform, we have Windchill Auth configured (ptc-identity-provider-authenticator), which can create user automatically and add users to ThingWorx groups. We have a requirements for few apps where we can not give access to all the ThingWorx platform users to get access. Only subset of the ThingWorx Platform users can use these apps. I am looking for ideas how to automate user provisioning for these apps. Right now we are manually adding users into ThingWorx groups.

I am looking to create a Peer Review on a document or a dynamic document. The following link/post seems indicate the Windchill 11.0 software will be able to accomplish this task.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Questions/Peer-review-of-documents/td-p/545404   However, the post seems to speak to the Windchill 11.0 M030 release. I followed the steps and I noticed that I do not have the 'New Review' option from the context menu. I checked the version I am running and the release version is Windchill M030-CPS06.   Any suggestions?

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: I would like to make an excel team task tracker that contains ECR, CT & ECN numbers in it smarter by automatically telling me where each persons task is in the workflow without needing to search individually for each task.Description: Is there a way to get WindChill & Excel to interact where if i type a CT number into a cell, the cells adjacent to it will feedback data about that CT? i.e. Where in a workflow it is, what node is it on, who is the assignee of the node?I am a very basic user so may need hand holding but i also have PowerBI which may be able to do it (Also a novice user of this)

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Our Creo models have a parameter called UNIT_OF_MEASURE. This describes the quantity unit for the model in an assembly. Typical values would be Each, Gallon, Inch, Foot, etc. It’s synonymous with Windchill’s WTPart attribute Default Unit. The CAD designer sets the Creo parameter UNIT_OF_MEASURE in the model, and this is displayed in a repeat region table/parts list in a Creo drawing. Our CM / Doc Control group then looks at the Creo drawing, then transposes those UNIT_OF_MEASURE values to the Default Unit attribute for the related WTPart. This is a manual process, and 2x the work (CAD designer sets the value in Creo, CM person sets the value on the WTPart). I’d like to automate this process, so that when the Creo model is checked into Windchill, the value of UNIT_OF_MEASURE (or something like it) is carried over to Default Unit for the related WTPart. Using Creo 9.0.5.0Description: I thought attribute mapping was the solution, and maybe it still i

Is it possible to bypass the Jasper report UI and simply download the report to PDF?Currently, there are a few options for report format that are presented when we execute the report action.We would like PDF output by default and the report to be downloaded following the execution of the action. Is this possible? --Kirk Wemple

Is it possible to create a WTDocument with MULTI_PRIMARY Content via JAVA API? 

Hello,We want to implement certain conditions for the creation of Change Management objects. Currently, only users with the Change Leader role can create change requests and change notices. We've enforced this restriction through policy administration.Additionally, our customer has requested the following:Change Requests can only be created when the Problem Report is in the "Accepted" state.Change Notices can only be created when the Change Request is in the "Implementation" state.Alternatively, the creation of Change Requests and Change Notices should only be possible after the execution of the "Create Change Request" and "Create Change Notice" actions.How can I achieve this?

I need to retrieve the API of all objects affected by change notifications in WTpart through programming, because I need to control whether the WTPart objects of the affected objects already have other changes when creating a new ECN. If so, the current change will be canceled and the customer will be prompted that there are already other changes in the objects. Please complete them first before initiating the change
