Windchill

It's possible to use an AWS S3 bucket as storage for Windchill vaults : Configuring Windchill File Vaults to Use Amazon S3 (ptc.com)But there are no property to change the default URL of the S3 bucket (https://[bucket_name].s3.amazonaws.com) to use a S3 compatible storage available with other cloud providers like OVHCloud or Scaleway.Additionally, it would be great to use a software like MinIO to use S3 object storage in a private cloud or on-premises environment.

I was able to find directions to fix said issue for internet explorer but not Chrome. Please advise.

I have a new application server and DB server, which will soon be the production server, replacing the current production server.  This new version of PDMLink is 12.1.2.7 Our current production server, soon to be old and retired server, is at PDMLink 12.0.2.4.  We want the transition between using these two servers somewhat seamless.  One day, the users will just log into the new server, and all the file vaults will be there. So for this new production server, I manually copied over all the file vaults from the old server.  I then go through Windchill to Site > Utilities > File Server Administration > Vault configuration.  Unsurprisingly, I don't see the file vaults set up in the vault configuration. No worries, I look to the rehost utility guide for Windchill to see how to remount the vaults I manually copied over.  I get lots of failed attempts so I eventually open a case with PTC.  They are telling me since I am on a newer versio

We've been using Windchill Projectlink since Windchill 9.0, currently on Windchill 12.1.  In previous versions of Windchill, never had any issues with Projectlink.  We've noticed the following issues in 12.1-incorrect time stamps for when an activity is completed-completion of an activity does not always trigger the following activity to start using autoexecution-in certain cases an activity completed after the daily working hours, is showing the actual time rather the end of the day timestamp. Our project plans are very straightforward, roughly just 10 activities in a linear order.   No objects shared to projects or deliverables. We currently have an open case with PTC tech support which has been open for several months, so far no resolution. Just wondering if any other Projectlink 12.1 users have seen similar issues.

Is there a way to use the "Search in table" to display items which do NOT contain a certain string?   We often have hundreds of modified parts/assemblies/drawings (all starting with the same drawingnumber), and we would like to quickly check if there are any other modified items which do NOT belong to that drawingnumber.   Any clues?

Hello, I wanted to know the feasibility to control the actions under Configurable Master Links tab based on the object state and user role using Profiles functionality, can this requirement be achieved by configuring the Profiles?. Please pour your thoughts on the same. ThanksSha

If I migrate WindchillDS to Active Directory or OpenDJ( ForgeRockDS ), can I continue to use it as is?How will the method of operation change?

Hello PTC Community,  I will start out by noting that I am fairly new to Windchill and Workgroup Manager. My issue today concerns Solidworks, Windchill and Workgroup Manager.I am working on an assembly that has only one configuration. The PTC knowledge base defines this as a generic assembly with one instance. I will explain the issue I am having after describing the steps I took: In Workgroup Manager I selected  "Add to Workspace" for configuration assembly "12345@12345.SLDASM".A new window called "Add to Workspace" popped up. Under settings "Dependencies" and "Collect Related Business Objects", I set the following conditions:"Dependent" = "Yes""Drawings" = "Yes""Family Table" = "Yes""Generics" = "Yes""CAD / Dynamic Documents" = "Yes"The above conditions correctly added the following objects that I expected:12345.SLDASM12345@12345.SLDASM12345.SLDDRWI proceeded to open object 12345@12345.SLDASM in Solidworks and make my design changes.When I was done with

Is it required to have a GPU to publish using the AUTODESK Inventor worker? For huge assemblies does it make any difference?

Hello everyone, while deleting a CAD from "IN-REVISION" state to previous released, i am facing this error. see attached. could you please help? Sandy

I am trying to pull together a report of the contents of a managed baseline.I have all CAD in it.This is as far as I have gotten, but I need the Revision or full version info.I am still learning on this, and believe someone out here can help me join to that info.Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to figure out how to use the query builder to make a custom report that will return a part structure with serial numbers of a part config instance.  My goal is to have a report that can instruct or document what serials numbers went into a build and pull a report. For example: If I have a WT part number 00123 that has 3 different configurations (S/N 001, 002, 003) with a structure of parts underneath that all have serial numbers. How do I make a custom report to list that? 

I am following the video instructions(https://youtu.be/wL_PDAPzgy) for setting up OpenDJ, do not get the 'Backend' error when importing the WindchillDS exported ldif file. Is there another way by creating the 'backend' first in OpenDJ before importing the ldif file? Many thanks in advance)

"I want to update using the patch method with this API endpoint: http://************/Windchill/servlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts('OR:wt.part.WTPart:*********'), but it warns me that I need to check out first. Is there a way to update the part without checking in or out, without touching versions, etc.? If there is a method, could you explain it?"

 Enable modify/edit attributes table while using drag and drop for new documents into folder contents for Windchill PDMLink.  Article - CS314407 - Cannot modify/edit attributes table while using drag and drop for new documents into folder contents in Windchill PDMLink (ptc.com)

If you happen to create a JNDI adapter that references the hostname and at some stage upgrade Windchill, the hostname is migrated to the new system. That can cause confusion as it may seem that the upgraded system is referencing the source, allowing cross-talk. What is the supported method to rename the JNDI Adapter? It would need to at least address the name in Info*Engine and the wt.federation.org.directoryServices property. This article asks the question, but does not answer it:Article - CS361116 - Is it possible to change JNDI AD Adapter name or URL for the upgrading in Windchill 12.0 (ptc.com)

Hi Guys, After publishing, some component constraints were broken, as shown in the below image. But if I open it in Creo or Creo View, it is properly constraint without any breaks.  Regards,Aj 

Hi Guys,  I need your help with this. I have one WT part and I want to add local data, such as Word, TXT, and XML files. In the related object, we have a Described by Document and Reference Document. Right there, we can use that tab to create a new document and attach it. Here, I want the name and number that I gave in the WT part to be the same as the ones in the WT document. It's possible.Regards,Aj
