Windchill

Hello,I'm a new Windchill admin. During our setup, we created some attributes that we wanted required on parts and assemblies documents. The intention is that engineers will fill out these attributes for every design. The problem is that now those attributes are also required for templates (even though they are in a different Context), which defeats the purpose. If I fill in the attributes in the templates, then those attributes will probably be left with the default and not updated by the engineers.How can I set those attributes to only be required in one context? Right now CAD Documents and WTparts have constraints for Enumerated Value List and Required. I can Add Conditions to these constraints and choose Context as the "Driver Attribute". I've been putting in the name of the Context where I want the attribute required, but this doesn't work. It ends up not being required anywhere, like the condition is never being met. Is the Context name not the right way to identify a Context? I

I've got a Creo CAD assembly in Windchill that is linked to a WTPart using the Owner link. The part structure will successfully build. The problem is that for some reason on the CAD page, the "compare to part structure" button is grayed out. On the WTPart page, I am able to get the comparison. I've checked for failed placements, and that doesn't seem to be the issue as the structure will successfully build. I've tried unassociating the WTPart and reassociating it. I've tried checking out the CAD model regenerating, saving, and checking back in. I've even tried suppressing everything and then checking back in. The compare button continues to be grayed out.  Any ideas how to resolve? 

Has anyone else seen this issue?   Sporadically, the audit log shows a user logging in multiple times at the same timestamp. Normally this wouldn't matter, but if the user is assigned an ADU license and it's the first time they are logging in that day, they end up consuming multiple licenses for that day. I'd like to figure out what causes it and see if we can prevent it.   We are using Windchill 12.0.2.8  

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Please refer to the attached image. As it can be seen, the table contains three objects. It can be seen that two of these objects represent two different revisions of the same part instance ('JW-BIKESN01' at Rev A & B).Description: I would like to configure Windchill so that the table only shows the latest revision of each different part instance. Is this possible?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am performing a an import of data from a source environment. Using the import/export management tool, I am presented with the following error when trying to do the import. "WTDocument: 123 ( 000073 ) A.2" cannot be imported because the revision "A" is invalid" The issue can be overcome when I check the "Resolve overridable conflicts" check box. I have checked the version sequence on both the source and target environment and they are identical.Description: Can anybody explain why I am receiving this error message?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: User wants to create a report using report builder, that allows to specify container, but by using dropdown, not by typing manually the container name. This behaviour is documented in case CS256206 and it seems nothing was done to provide the solution for that, so asking if anyone found workaround.Description: User wants to create a report using report builder, that allows to specify container, but by using dropdown, not by typing manually the container name. This behaviour is documented in case CS256206 and it seems nothing was done to provide the solution for that, so asking if anyone found workaround. If report builder is not capable of doing something like this, then is there a way to prepare JSP input page that will have some kind of container picker and pass the information to actual query builder logic? I've seen some custom-input pages but they are really odd and difficult to understand.   

Hi @TDT    Reference topic: custom Picker Callback not working - PTC Community   Can you please show me the exact way and location to register custom js In my case I have created custom js and registered at this location Windchill\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\custom\contextPickerJSP.jsp   <%@ include file="/netmarkets/jsp/util/begin.jspf"%><%@ taglib uri="http://www.ptc.com/windchill/taglib/core" prefix="wc"%> <script type="text/javascript"src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/netmarkets/javascript/custom/contextPickerHelper.js"></script><%@include file="/netmarkets/jsp/util/end.jspf"%>  

On Windchill 13.0.2.4. I have seen this many months ago so not a huge issue. It might be related to a customization we added to process representations from WTDocuments but here goes. User got an error message "No Space Left on This Device". Sure enough /tmp was at 100% of 1GB. Looking in folders, the Windchill temp folder was filled with 500+ font files with the pattern jr-font<some number>.ttf. These are about 0.5 MB each so eventually it filled up. I cleared out these files but I am sure to see this again. Any idea as to what its doing and why they are not being cleaned up. I suspect its related to something we added but just a quick guess.   

Windchill can display menu items / table headings / actions, etc. in several languages. Each user can decide at any time which to display from those installed.   Windchill can display menu items / table headings / actions, etc. in several languages. Each user can decide at any time which to display from those installed.   This example has only one language installed in addition to English – French. Install         Every Windchill file that are used to display English words now has an additional similar file with the language (fr for French in this example).       Because these exist, each user can select their desired language (of those installed) at any time.   Default English:     Each user has this choice (list will include those language(s) which have been installed). Does not affect any other user. By moving English back to the top, it will revert to English at any time.             A

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: Hello, Is it possible to go directly to Windchill 13.1 from 12.0.0.3 using the same server or do I need to migrate to a new server? Is there any guide to follow that has that scenario? Thanks in advanced.Description: Just starting to research the process. 

Version: Windchill 12.0 Use Case: We are going to migrate a portion of Windchill data from source system (version 12.0) to target system (green-field installation in version 13.0) using WBM (in filtered extraction mode), in order to extract just objects contained in a specific subset of containers (products and libraries). Business object data to be migrated mainly include WTPart, WTDocument, EPMDocument and ECM objects.Description: We are facing with performance issues, partially resolved with db and server tuning.Do anyone with experience on this scenario (filtered extraction)? 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.2.8The IDs of a new BusinessRule and BusinessRuleLink are different in the Database than in the LoadFile.Does the ID in the LoadFile matter, or can it be any given ID? If not, how to maintain an overview over the loaded BusinessRules?An export from the Database would be convenient, but the IDs aren't matching with the LoadFile. So I'm not sure what is correct.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.2 and Datecode with CPS M010-CPS01I have 2 questions.1. In Windchill, under type and Attributes, we have one IBA attribute --- typeOfChange -- in which it contains the legal value list. I want this list to show as dropdown in M6 Template Report.Here are the errors that I facedThere is no error message. The report is not showing as dropdown if we have only legal value list. The report is encountered an error message if we add both the legal value list global enumeration. While adding both if we make disable the legal value list without completely removing then using the global enumeration it is showing as dropdown. But if any item has no spaces in between a word for example -- PART WAIVER, then the report is not fetching even though the records exist.

Version: Windchill 13.1 Use Case: Customize the tree by using asynchronous data transformation to implement TreeDataBuilderAsync, ComponentConfigBuilder, and ComponentConfigFactoryAware methods, and create non-persistent object beans. Add the String oid attribute and override the GetOid method.Description: I used non-sustainable objects to create a custom asynchronous data source TREE. When loading the child items, I found that the buildNodeData method's Object node was not the parent node object but NmSimpleOid. The parent node object was not extended but had a String oid attribute added and the getOid method was overridden. Now, I don't know how to obtain the parent node object through NmSimpleOid.

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: We have an Ant build script that builds and installs a PDMLink customization package. An engineer connects to a server via Remote Desktop and runs it from within Windchill Shell. We'd like to trigger it from a CD pipeline instead. Description: Hello All,   I've been using Windchill Shell interactively, i.e. launching `<WT_HOME>/bin/windchill shell` and then doing everything else in a session that opens. I can't figure out how to launch something (e.g., an Ant build script) under Windchill Shell in a "headless" mode, i.e. from a script (PowerShell, a batch file, a Bash script, ...)    It sounds like a common problem and I'm sure people do it all the time, but... how?   Thanks, Constantine

Version: Windchill 13.1 Use Case: I’m trying to create a Query Builder report in Windchill that retrieves data from multiple Part subtypes, where each subtype requires different attributes to be included in the result set. For example: From part type PART_A, I need to fetch a custom attribute ATTR_A From part type PART_B, I need to fetch a different custom attribute ATTR_B Is it possible to achieve this in a single Query Builder report? If so, what is the recommended approach to configure the criteria and result columns for multiple part types with different attribute sets?Description: I’m trying to create a Query Builder report in Windchill that retrieves data from multiple Part subtypes, where each subtype requires different attributes to be included in the result set.For example:From part type PART_A, I need to fetch a custom attribute ATTR_AFrom part type PART_B, I need to fetch a different custom attribute ATTR_BIs it possible to achieve this in a single Query Builder report?
