Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: My Organization would like to be able to make audits for different teams. But we cannot find a smart way to filter out/find relevant Changes to do the audit.

If Yes, How??Description: When we try to do an Advanced search on Change Notice, we have the option to set Criteria on Created By and Created On.But we cannot use Team Name as a Filter, which would be very helpful in our organization.Is there some way to configure the system so it possible?

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? Thank youHere are the errors that I faced 2024-06-24 10:23:13,314 INFO [ajp-bio-8010-exec-1] wt.system.out user2 - CommonUtil.java.3163: 重命名失败！Message: Resource bundle/Message key = wt.vc.vcResource/55 2024-06-24 10:23:13,325 INFO [ajp-bio-8010-exec-1] wt.system.err user2 - (wt.vc.vcResource/55) wt.vc.VersionControlException: H-ZJ-188, JSZJ_00087886 可能不允许更改其标识。只有当此项未被检出并且您具有所有版本的 修改 权限时，才可以

Hello Everyone, I'm working with Windchill 13.0 and need to add a simple action button to the Windchill interface that can call my custom API functions. Here’s what I want to achieve:1) Add a button to the Windchill UI.2) When the button is clicked, it should trigger a JavaScript function that calls a Windchill OData API.Here’s an example of the API function I want to call(will be using a java version of this function): async function getParts() {const apiUrl = "http://windchill.gosaas.io:80/Windchill/servlet/odata/v6/ProdMgmt/Parts?$count=false";const username = "ahsan";const password = "Tartan123";const basicAuth = 'Basic ' + btoa(username + ':' + password);try {const response = await fetch(apiUrl, {method: 'GET',headers: {'Authorization': basicAuth,'Content-Type': 'application/json','Accept': 'application/json'}});if (!response.ok) {throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);}const data = await response.json();return data;} catch (error) {console.error(

Hi, to execute jasper report from input jsp page I am using the following API- ReportHelper.manager.getThirdPartyReportExecuteUrl(reportRef,parameters); Here, the reportRef should be of type ObjectReference and should refer to a Windchill report object. However the object that I get from the jsp page using the request.getParameter("oid") is of type WTDocument.  Now, when I try to send this object in the above API , it gives the error-java.lang.ClassCastException: class wt.doc.WTDocument cannot be cast to class com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.report.Report (wt.doc.WTDocument and com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.report.Report are in unnamed module of loader 'app') Kindly suggest on how to resolve this.Thanks,Ramsha

Hello, for one of my customers I've created a wizard step with some change validation info.the data is arranged in a flat tree structure which is displayed in the treetable component.See attached example screenshot.One requirement is that non "green" checks are auto expanded for the user. I tried to implement it as described in the customizers guide, but so far no luck. The TreeTable component uses a custom AbstractConfigurableTableBuilder with an custom ExpansionStateManagerthe table config looks like this   JcaTreeConfig treeCfg = (JcaTreeConfig) factory.newTreeConfig(); treeCfg.setDataSourceMode(DataSourceMode.DISABLED); treeCfg.setType(Object.class.getName()); treeCfg.setTargetObject("origObject"); treeCfg.setComponentMode(ComponentMode.VIEW); treeCfg.setActionModel("tcw tcwValidation table"); //treeCfg.setMenubarName("tcw tcwValidation table"); treeCfg.setId(TCW_TCWVALIDATION_TABLE_ID); treeCfg.setLabel(WTMessage.getLocalizedMessage(TCW_RESO

I believe that I need to use sub-select on my report.I am creating a report that counts the number of released parts per ECN.The report needs to list attributes related to subtypes of Parts in my organization.It causes multiple lines since for each subtype there will be a new column for the attribute...I understand that If I use sub-select, I can run the query and concatenate the result in a way to have the attribute in a single column.

When doing "save as" in Creo, a new windchill partnumber is reserved. When one now selects the "step-file" format. The old partnumber is reused. The reserved partnumber, is now gone forever. This partnumber is not reused. it is just gone.The same problem happens when copying partsSuppose I have an assembly with 500 parts. Now I want to make a copy of this assembly. In this copy I want to change one part. This theoratically should require only 2 new part numbers. One number for the copied assembly and one new number for the changed part. However, Creo / Windchill will first reserve 501 new part number. Of this I will use 2 new part numbers and 499 of the old ones. Now the problem is that those 499 partnumbers are un-used and lost forever.We are now running windchill for 4 years and have 2 active users. With the two of us we have created about 60.000 partsnumbers. Most of those are not used. This is getting silly.Is there a way / setting where the partnumbers get only reserved if they ac

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Good day. I am new to Windchill and I need help with a report that can give me the time and date of when the state changes for a document. For example when I create a new document it is a revision A.1 in a state of "in work". After a few days it is changed to a revision B.1 and changed to a state of "under review". I need a report that can give me the time and dates of all these event changes.Description: Good day.

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: During our promotion request, the process flow is stuck at "set to superseded". Our fix is to contact the user who has the previous release uploaded to their workspace to delete the objects from their workspace on the server side. I then have to contact our IT to search for the workflow from the queue manager for them to do a reset. This is very tedious and time-consuming.Description: On our promotion request, the previous release is set to superseded once the latest object is approved for release.  However, if the previous release is "uploaded" to the server side, it is considered as a "private checkout"  The system can not change the state when it is "checked-out".  Site admin access is required to reset the workflow after the objects have been removed from the server side.   I am searching for a workaround, or a solution to bypass this behavior.  In my opinion, the system can differentiate the "checked-out vs

I had an issue I opened with tech support. The overall sourcing status was showing No AML but I did in fact have AML/AVL data for a particular part. It turns out the OEMPARTAXLCONTEXTLINK table had no entry. Still investigating as to how this occurred but this query showed the extent of the issue. I will close this thread with a summary of how we think it was caused. SELECT m.wtpartnumber, A.IDA2A2, a.amlpreferencedata, a.avlpreferencedata, o.oempreferencedata FROM WTPART P, WTPARTMASTER M, oempartaxlcontextlink O, AXLEntry A WHERE p.ida3masterreference = M.IDA2A2 AND o.ida3a5 (+) = p.ida2a2 AND a.IDA3C4 = p.ida2a2 AND p.latestiterationinfo = 1 Where you have null entries for the OEMPREFERENCEDATA is where you have problems.  

I want to define an overloaded CADBOM (150% BOM) for EPMDocument Product structure.What are the methods available in Windchill to achieve this using Options & Variants features? I know how to do this for EBOM(WTPart BOM).
