Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I wanted to add some BOM into workspace, iam unable to get the active workspace. I did by hardcoding the workspace oidDescription: i collated the BOM and i need to get the active workspace, I don't know how to get the active workspace, as of now i am hardcoding the workspace oid   wt.epm.workspaces.EPMWorkspace workspace = (wt.epm.workspaces.EPMWorkspace) referenceFactory                .getReference("OR:wt.epm.workspaces.EPMWorkspace:1150900").getObject(); i wanted to  dynamically fetch the active workspace instead of hardcoding the workspace OID, i need to retrieve the active workspace for the current user session. 

first i tried to add the all associated  EPM from the BOM  to workspace, all epm get added in the workspace. Now i am trying to add the WTPart  to workspace. its not working. this is the code how i added previously the epm to workspaceprivate void addToWorkspace(EPMDocument doc) {try {wt.fc.ReferenceFactory referencefactory = new wt.fc.ReferenceFactory();wt.fc.WTReference wtreference = referencefactory.getReference(doc); wt.epm.EPMDocument epm = (wt.epm.EPMDocument) wtreference.getObject(); wtreference = referencefactory.getReference("OR:wt.epm.workspaces.EPMWorkspace:1150900");wt.epm.workspaces.EPMWorkspace workspace= (wt.epm.workspaces.EPMWorkspace) wtreference.getObject();System.out.println("workspace-->"+workspace); wt.epm.workspaces.EPMAsStoredConfigSpec asStored = wt.epm.workspaces.EPMAsStoredConfigSpec.newEPMAsStoredConfigSpec(epm);wt.fc.QueryResult queryResult = wt.epm.structure.EPMStructureHelper.service.navigateReferencesToIteration(epm, null,

Is there any way to view the Equivalent part outside the MAPSB.When we create new downstream branch, it is possible to see the Downstream views in the part history tab.But if we create new downstream part with new part number, then the only way to see downstream part would be to search using the Part number string and hope to identify the equivalent part through suffix or to open the BOM in MAPSB (Not an easy or elegant or effective way).Is there any solution like Alias attribute?Ideal solution would be to display the MAPSB Equivalent parts tab in the regular Part view through custom tabs section

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Configuring new lifecycle to manufacturing view with OIR affecting old manufacturing itemsDescription: Hi, Background:I had same lifecycle for design and manufacturing view.Configured new lifecycle to manufacturing view with OIR by following this: https://support.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc110_hc/index.jspx?id=ExpMPM_Cust_MPMLink_LifecycleView&action=show OIR now triggers new lifecycle for fresh manufacturing views.(Tested and it works. Tested with new branch & create new item as manufacturing) But what happened is related to the old manufacturing views in the system. The old ones have the previous lifecycle, which is totally fine. However, after creating the OIR, the system no longer allows me to revise the old manufacturing views. This is really weird because the old design parts that have the exact same lifecycle still have the revise option.  Somehow the lifecycle and view goes now hand on hand. I trie

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: A stand-alone Creo CAD document (imported step) is checked in. It has an owner-associated WTPart but the "Build Status" in the structure tab shows blank. As a result, when the CAD document is used in an assembly, the WTPart doesn't show up in the assembly structure.Description: There are no errors and if I force-build the part it says "Part built successfully" but the build status doesn't change and the WTPart doesn't show in the parent level assembly structure.  Our site settings are Operation/CheckIn Operation/Build After Check in = All.  Visualization is published and everything works... but since the part isn't built it doesn't exist in the eBOM. 

Dear SMEs, I installed windchill 12.1 pdmlink, sumalink in my local system. After navigating to AML/AVL tab in part details page, actions related to AML/AVL are hidden by OOTB validator. Can someone please suggest what to do so that I can use those actions are visible to me and I can create supplier parts.

I am retrieving the following data from Windchill's PTC.ProdMgmt.GetValidStateTransitions() API:"Items": [{"Value": "INWORK","Display": "In Work"},{"Value": "RELEASED","Display": "Released"},{"Value": "CANCELLED","Display": "Canceled"}]We use these values to indicate the status of a part. If the part is ongoing, it is "In Work"; if it is canceled, it is "Canceled"; and if it is completed, it is "Released". The main problem here is that we cannot find the user who logged into Windchill and selected one of these statuses for the part. When we make such changes, the Modifier API does not show the information of the person who made the change. How can we identify the user who made this change?

Hello,Looking for some advice regarding working with Family tables in Creo and Windchill.We are working for some parts and assemblies with relatively large Familye Tables. (15 inst +)When updating one instance of these family tables, we know have to check-out allof the instances of this table and perform a set state if needed too.After that we can check-in the modified instance inclusive all the not modified instances.(causing an itteration uplift)I have read an article about the use of the config option: save_implicitly_verified_insts, which can be set on "NO".When set on NO you are able to check-in only the modified instance and the generic.But I am a little bit unsure if that is the way to go.Why is that not advised as best practice or are there better ways to solves this problem?Many thanks for your advice in advance.regards,Bert BusschersBenchmark

Version: Windchill 12.1   Use Case: I am setting up a test server for Windchill 12.1.2 wit Creo 9.0.8 and CreoView Adapter 9.1.0.0. Description: In Worker Agent Administration, I get a greyed out start flag for the worker and using the Start All flag, it returns Fails to Start for the server. If I go to the Adapter folder, I can manually start proeworker.bat and then I can start the worker in WAA.Auth.properties and agent.ini are set right, as compared to my 12.0.2 production system which works fine.In WVS.properties, I have set worker.exe.whitelist.prefixes=E\:\\PTC\\creo_view_adapters_91. This matches what I see when I look at the folder in windows explorer.Are there any other files that control publishing that I have missed?

Considering implementing security labels for tagging ITAR vs EAR (Civil) parts and data. I think the documentation covers this pretty well. The only question for those who have done this is, do you store the ECCN code as well. From what I can tell, that is not part of security labels since answering the first question of ITAR vs EAR is enough. Did you implement this as an attribute? Would this be a master level attribute or a IBA? For those unfamiliar with ECCN codes, ex: EAR99, XIA2, etc.Antonio Villanueva - Sr. Software Engineer - ISR SystemsUTC AEROSPACE SYSTEMS100 Wooster Heights Road, Danbury, CT 06804Tel: +1 203 797 5682antonio.villanueva@utas.utc.com<">mailto:antonio.villanueva@utas.utc.com> www.utcaerospacesystems.comCONFIDENTIALITY WARNING: This message may contain proprietary and/or privileged information of UTC Aerospace Systems and its affiliated companies.
