Windchill

Hi all,I have Installed Windchill DS 11.2 While Installing Windchill PDMLINK I need to Start Windchill directory server but when I open it, It automatically quit and no response neither I am getting any errorWhat could be the problem? I am starting it from windows search option. Regards,Lavkush

In a clustered methodserver environment, I would like to assign a unique name as a JVM option for each methodserver.When loading the APM Java agent and sending data to the collection server, the name needs to be unique.Is there a name that refers to the node name of the methodserver? 

There are multiple postings on Cascading Attributes and some pretty good articles. Finally tried - took me a little while to get all details right. I'm attaching a little cheat sheet - may help someone.

Can F (unreliability) be displayed in the FT diagrams following the calculations? I can see the updated diagram displaying the Q data but not the F data if unavailability is checked in the calculations. Thank you. (SW version: PTC Windchill Quality Solutions 11.0 Enterprise Edition MO30-CPS02)

PTC has a well documented (Tech Support Articles) on how to integrate Windchill with an on-premise Microsoft Active Directory Server.  What needs to Change in Apach Auth Files, Command to update Apache, Site.xconf, Windchill JNDI  Adapter.  What Values are needed.   I am investigating, researching  and eventually documenting the procedure to use a common Web Based AD.  Its my education for the summer.   But I do not see any coordinated Document for connecting to a Web Based Active Directory.   Q: Is it the Same?  (Assuming going to use LDAPS and Port 636, to Encrypt Passwords)  Would anyone be willing to send documentation if they have done so?  Or just explain if it is no different and you set up same as Microsoft ADS.   Next Understanding SSO (Single Sign on)  with a CAD to Microsoft Azure being the Identity Provider to the CAS(Authroization Server); as different but the Articles from PTC focus on ThingWorks integr

We have been having the following error after a rehost: 2024-04-18 12:05:08,566 FATAL [main] wt.method.server  - MethodServerMain abort java.lang.StackOverflowError at wt.util.WTProperties.getProperty(WTProperties.java:1421) at wt.util.WTSystemProperties.getProperty(WTSystemProperties.java:100) at java.base/java.lang.System.getProperty(System.java:854) at java.base/sun.net.NetProperties.get(NetProperties.java:94) It does not happen initially and the new instance will run fine but if we restart the instance of Windchill or refresh the database, we are presented with that error. I have tried to resolve this with CS370256 but we are stuck at this point.

I added the epm document to workspace though api, and i want to check out the added EPM document from the workspace.   this is my code  private 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();   System.out.println("epm-->"+epm);   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);   //Get the EPMDocument configuration   wt.epm.workspaces.EPMAsStoredConfigSpec asStored = wt.epm.workspaces.EPMAsStoredConfigSpec.newEPMAsStoredConfigSpec(epm);   wt.fc.QueryResult queryResult = wt.epm.structure.EPMStructureHelper.service.navigateReferencesToIteration

Currently only internal users using Windchill application. We are planning to give access to External Users through B2B setup. Hence I enabled SSO. Also I enabled Basic authentication for local ldap users.After this Creo View , Windchill Server registration in Creo and WGM(Solid works) not working for basic authentication URL - https://<server>/basicLogin.html Any advise? Thanks in advance

We are looking at the requirement of managing large number of Products (in hundreds).The requirement is to change the team members assigned to different roles easily without having to edit the team in each product. The Shared teams provides this functionality.I want to understand if there are any downsides of using shared teams across large number of projects.For example - Performance issues, ACL related challenges etc. Thanks.Ravi 

Team Rehost from Prod to QA server: dump/restore the Oracle DB Oracle expdp: we explored through the options with help in stackoverflow etc, and we probably got a good dump.  We copy the dump file to the QA server. Oracle impdp: we suspect that we need to drop tables before doing the impdp.  What do we need to drop? Or can we just do impdp, counting on it to overwrite the old Windchill db contents?    Alternate solution: would RMAN be a good tool to do this? cheers -- Rick

We have to create an Product Specification document (WTDocument Subytpe). This will have about 40 attributes. Wanted to know if there is a recommended limit on maximum number of attributes (Local or Global) which can be added to an object. Looking from the point of view of search and other performance issues. Also, we will be adding cascading attribute constraints to control the selection of the values. Windchill PDMLink Version 11.2 or 12.0

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.3There is no efficient means of creating Parts (wt.part.WTParts) from existing WTDocuments that will be the describing document of the Part and have similar attributes. For example, when creating a part, there is a checkbox at the bottom called "Create CAD Document" which allows the user to create a CAD Document (wt.epm.EPMDocument) with the same Number, Name, File Name, and Version as the Part. This creates the Part and CAD Document at the same time with same relevant attributes.We want a similar function but for already existing WTDocuments and creating a Part with using the attributes within the WTDocument. For example, we would want users to go into the related objects tab of the WTDocument, click on "Associate New" in the Describes Parts table, and have the new "New Part" window appear with as much attributes from the WTDocument as possible. Most importantly we would like the Name, Number, CAGE Code, Descriptio

Team Is it possible to GET OData data from within JSP code? Calling to some Java interface within WRS, so I can pass in some OData parameters and receive the Windchill data.   The JSP code is invoked after user authentication, so I would not want to be re-authenticating in the call to WRS.  

Team  There is a  "Windchill Security Labels Configuration and Implementation Guide" but I cannot find it.  Please help!  

Hello,I want to retrieve maturity history and Lifecycle History of a document. How can I do this ? I did not found any endpoints in OData rest API.

Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Promotion request: Promotion request for reputation management Lifecycle name:HYOUKA_PR_LC Open - Under 1st evaluation - Under 2nd evaluation - Approved Workflow name:HYOKA_WF   With the settings, create a lifecycle and workflow, and use the document created in the product. Start the workflow process from "New Promotion Request". First, the first task will be created, so select the created task and check "Promote". When you click the "Task Complete" button, an error message like the one attached appears and the task is terminated. Unable to complete.

I have a custom IBA on a change request. I need to write a SQL query to fetch all ChangeRequests which have a non-null value for that attribute. 

Hello,We are looking to get Where Used data for EPMDocument. Currently windchill/servlet/odata/v4/CADDocumentMgmt/CADDocuments does not contain an Endpoint for getting this information. Use case: We have a part (EPMDocument) which is used in multiple assemblies (EPMDocument as well). Windchill UI displays this information: How to get this information using Windchill ODATA REST API?Thank you

Has anyone purchased/utilized PTC extended support? I'm looking for feed back on the experience and if the value is worth the cost. I'm hearing the cost is 10% of our currently list price and it applies for all Windchill products we own.Our current Windchill version goes out of support on June 30th of this year. We plan on migrating to Windchill 13.0.2 as soon as it becomes available in July. We are looking at being out of support for 2-3 months. I've heard if we submit any requests to PTC while out of support, there immediate response will be "you are on a system that isn't supported, migrate to a supported system and if the issue persists we will investigate."Our VAR indicates this is an option that is rarely utilized. Any thoughts?

Hi, Asking for references how have you operated in the following situation. Version I use is 12.0.2   In BOM-transformer, MPMlink: If parts is created by mistake to manufacturing view that should be in design. (Accidentally click duplicate with propagating, when I should just allocate the design as design to manufacturing side)    What is the back up plan? Is it possible to just remove the manufacturing views of those parts if you detect it immediately? Will the connection link between design - manufacturing view even allow it (admin rights).    This is important because if manufacturing view have been created, it will always use it instead of design, and this is not what I want by accidentally created components.   Thanks in Advance.

Hello, in all the years of Windchill projects there is one problem-area that's always coming up:The (Creo) workspace and it's (annoying) limitations. Quite often there is a triple set of related objects: CAD Model, CAD drawing and a related item. (yes, that's somewhat simplified 😉 )Model, drawing and item have usually a different number - which results in the "problem" that in a table view it's hard to group those triple sets or pairs in the table view.A solution we sometimes use is to define an IBA on the EPM documents named "partno"  as well as on the WTParts. that attribute always contains the value of WTPart.number.result: in the workspace it's possible to sort by column "partno" and the objects are grouped together. my customers like that. But... while this is "ok" for smaller installations it's creating a lot of "duplicate" data in the database and especially in the StringValue table which is quite often already huge even without that attribute. Problems

Hi, I'm trying to think solution to retrieve all design views that have manufacturing view, which have equivalent part but the link is out out of date. (Example: Manufacturing view A.1 is done from Design (A.1). Those part have valid equivalent link. Design view gets revised and is now B.1 --> equivalent link exists between part numbers but is not pointing to the latest. I think this article can be utilized: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS72503 This query retrieves latest version of views when searching by part number.First step where I need help. I would like to add check if per part number exists both design view and manufacturing view, then and then only it would return them. By this I could find all latest manufacturing views that have been made from design view.   After that I was wondering the following; I could add to the tables and joins either manufacturing equivalence link or wt.vc.Iterated to get the actual RoleA - RoleB i

I'm playing around with auto-numbering in my dev environment.For most things in production we'll do a File/New in CAD and then auto-associate/create new WTPart on checkin. That works just fine. For some cases, we'll create the WTPart first (or have a manufacturing view).  In auto-numbering with the part-centric approach, if I create a new WTPart and check the "Create CAD" box both end up having the same Number value based on my sequence and naming. So that works fine.  Keeping the same rules in place, File/New (in NX) creates the correct next in sequence number to replace the file name on save (from Help Center). On upload or check-in though, the auto-associate to create a new WTPart generates the new in sequence value for the Number. The name is fine (same as CAD). This appears to be OOTB expected behavior (Help Center ) Is there a way to turn off auto-numbering for WTParts when the CAD is creating it via auto-associate (CAD centric approach) an
