Windchill

This is a request or system enhancement proposal for the ability to markup MS Office documents directly from Navigate. At present, when annotating and marking up CAD data, Navigate directly calls Creo View. However, for MS Office documents, this functionality is only available through the 'VIEW IN WINDCHILL' in Navigate capability before marking up the documents.

We are currently working to switch out Windchill systems from Basic authentication to Form Based (SSO) authentication. We are clear with the approach of using shibboleth as SP and Entra ID AD as IDP & CAS. But our cyber security team suggested to use Entra ID Application Proxy method for the Windchill SSO which requires no changes to the Windchill application side.Application Proxy - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/app-proxy/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/app-proxy/how-to-configure-sso Have anyone tried this approach for Windchill SSO? Can anyone suggest on this approach and how reliable it would be with Windchill and its associated integrations ?

I'm trying to correct some vulnerabilities and received some instructions from IT. The instructions mimic the link below down to the section "Importing the Self-Signed Certificate in the DB Client (the Windchill server)" When I reboot the server, I cannot start windchill with the hash and encryption enabled.  https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/pt_BR/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCAdvDeployGuide/WCAdvDepAdvDB_ConfigWindchillWithSQLDBforJDBCoverSSL.html I also followed the remaining part of the post and added the parameters, but nothing appears to let the server function with forced encryption enabled. Any ideas?

I can retrieve the reference information of the CAD document using CADDocuments('OR:wt.epm.EPMDocument:XXXX')?$expand=References, but I cannot access the parts information of the CAD document when I use CADDocuments('OR:wt.epm.EPMDocument:XXXX')?$expand=Parts. The CAD document has a relationship with parts, and I am trying to access the related parts. I tried using the EPMBuildRule table, but it does not accept the ID of the drawing data. I believe it needs to be the owner, but I cannot access its ID via the API. Can you help me with this?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.1 and Datecode with CPS M010   Due to business needs, we customized a button to rename documents. In the code logic called by this button, we temporarily set the session user as an administrator through SessionHelper.manager.setAdministrator, and then execute the renaming API - WTDocumentHelper.service.changeWTDocumentMasterIdentity, but the code execution reports a permission error.According to our understanding, the administrator should have the authority to rename the document. So we are very confused, can you help us solve this problem?
