Windchill

Hi @HelesicPetr,Can you please help me into below queries:Question 1 : Is there any API for Import from spreadsheet.Question 2 : Anyone know about BOM extract report code so that we can use similar to create a BOM.

Hi, I keep getting the following message, when validating the BoM...."Validation failed because there were no sheets with a valid ImportSheetType specified."What is the "ImportSheetType"? Kr,Tony

Hi,   This message is intended to be a reply to the Windchill Idea named "Redesign of the Windchill Discussion" since i cannot find a way to include an attachment in the reply. Attached here is the presentation on the new features and capabilities of Windchill Discussions implemented for Windchill 10.1.   @BjoernRueegg, hopefully you can find this one.

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.0Hi Team, We are planning to host a HVPLM instance within HE infra for our retrospection study hence could you please help us to provide the details regarding the Windows server configuration where SQL database installed.Note: We would like to understand how our Production/QA HVPLM SQL Database Server configured?1) How many drives needs to available in the server2) What should be drives compatibility (with respect to Size and drives classification (Premium, ultra premium)3) As we have SQL database server and we are facing DB Latency issue with the Database files when we start windchill server. Due to this issue, method server is not getting up and running. Attached the DISK IO.html file from the SQL server performance report. Please help to understand how to resolve the same. Please let me know in case you need more info.Thanks,

Dear Community,I'll try to be as cleas as possible with an exemple: we have a belt used on multiple machines, for each machine (with different pulleys) we have a different Solid Edge Belt 3D file. In structure -> Visualization we can see for every machine the same representation, created from the first CAD we uploded (owner). My question: Is it possible to choose a different Representation based on Machine we want to display?P.S. In the belt's WTPart we have the representation for each CAD. Thanks

Good day I would like to know why the asm file was checked in but the parts were not generated. The model is present in Creo and the data is checked in successfully, but the part is not found in the structure in the Windchill system. salute

Looking for a switch or option on this or I will file ticket with PTC. When Creo View launches and presents the user a login prompt, if the authentication fails, nothing happens. The user is not asked to try again or given any indication that authentication was unsuccessful.  Not sure it matters but we are using WC 12, Creo View 9.1 and AD to handle authentication from the web server.  The normal behavior is for prompt to go away and then Creo View launches. There is a pause where nothing is showing. I can tell from experience that if Creo View does not launch, I assume I fat fingered my password and try to launch it again. If I get a login prompt again, that confirms what I suspected. Is this a known issue or is there a setting to have user try again?

Hi, I am using the Decode Datebase Function to return a datetime when a task has a status of "Completed". It looks like this: However, when I use the above approach the return type is string and not a timestamp.The reason I want a timestamp for this value is so the user can set the criteria/param before generating the report easily by selecting a date from the calendar picker (like in the image below) instead of entering free text.   

We are thinking about using com.ptc.wpcfg.doc.VariantSpec for our BOMs which should be transfered to other ERP Systems. the easist way would be the use of the OOTB RestAPI EndPoints. Can i use it (and if yes how) in the VariantSpec Criteria in the API Call? When i just passed it in there was an error.

Hello, i implemented OTB attibutes during the creation folders in Windchill (layout create new folder).Is possibile catch thes new attributes in the rest api?We are using "DataAdmin rest to get Folders from container ID"

I was think if maybe there is a way of associate the real data to the informatios of the WTPartlike A way to associate the mass of the Cad(asm or part) to the mass as atributes and the mass in the WTPartlikein the table legend of drwthe scale is auto, so when we click on it, its have &SCPC_SCALEsomething like thati would like to do this with the WTPartsSomeone could help me with this?Addition: maybe even the dimmensions of the part could be auto associate to the information of the partlike SP

Am new to Creo Windchill . Below image shows versions for 2D with icon for resulting change exist. When I try to access the 2D in creo , it only opens 3.1 and can not open 3.3. But creo view opens 3.3 .I am very confused on this workflow , can someone please guide me from basic to advanced on1. Purpose of this symbol2. Why four symbols3. Why Creo opens 3.1 but not 3.34. How to fix this to make symbols disappearAny videos , PDFs etc where I can get more information?Thanks

Hi,  I have configured publishing of preconverted files. Is it possible to trigger publishing of preconverted file on meta data change or on any other action?  

How can I fetch the number of alternate view in a query builder report?

Windchill intermittently drops users and shortly reestablishes connectivity. The blips occur several times throughout the day and users receive an error indicating the server is currently unavailable.

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place to post as I'm first time poster. In a recent reconcile of a model branch into a main trunk the following conflicts were identified. Has anyone seen the 'Unable to find a Destination model configuration equivalent' conflict before and what the issue is? In checking the reconciled model, the five items, which are Use Cases, all look ok so i cant identify the issue.Thanks in advance for any support,Tom

Question 1 : Is there any API for Import from spreadsheet.Question 2 : Anyone know about BOM extract report code so that we can use similar to create a BOM.

when revise is done with importable spreadsheet. The version number changes in Windchill, however it shows as a new iteration rather than a revision. Here the part was revised in windchill and in history it shows "New Revision 2"When using the importable spreadsheet to create the new version 3 in history it shows "New Iteration 3.2"How can we do a revise using importable spreadsheet rather than creating a new iteration?Note: modify and revise permission are granted

In BOM Transformer, I can not click "New Insert" for making a process plan, even if I did some works. 1) Use "MPMLink" template when I made the product2) Make M-BOM applying "Manufacturing" as a downstream BOM type3) adapting to Manufacturing lifecycle If anybody have some ideas, please reply me. - Windchiill 13.0.1

Hello all, I'm currently writing a custom JSP to summarise changes resulting from a Change Notice, I've managed to pull all the required data into the report except for Assigned Usage Expression (e.g. 'COLOUR= "GREEN"), which I'm struggling to get, does anyone know of an API method to retrieve this? I've tried:WTPartUsageLink.getExpressionData() - Returns null,  seems to just return the ExpressionData field from the WTPartUsageLink table,  which is completely empty, guess it's a redundant field ExpressionHelper.getDisplayExpression(Expressionable,  WTContainerRef) - Returns "{Display : "" , invalid: false}", not sure why it's taking a WTContainerRef argument as this shouldn't make a difference to the returned expression, so maybe it's not doing what the method name implies.CS384380 states that there's no supported API to achieve this, however that's not to say there isn't one available. Worst case, I could always build the expression through QuerySpec

We need an API to get Affected End Items added in Variance at Variance's Affected End Items table. Please provide a sample code to get the Affected End Items.

I am trying to create an alias attribute on a document to show related reference by part.I have tried below mappings but it does not work: references@wt.part.WTPartReferenceLink~referencedBy^wt.part.WTPart~numberreferences^wt.doc.WTDocumentMaster@wt.part.WTPartReferenceLink~referencedBy^wt.part.WTPart~number masterreference^wt.doc.WTDocumentMaster@wt.part.WTPartReferenceLink~referencedBy^wt.part.WTPart~number  

Hello experts,Is there any API to generate CAD object step files via customization instead of generating via publish rules?

I created a user-defined dictionary with userdict command from the command prompt. The dictionary file is located at the default location  lib/proximity/userdict, I was under the assumption that the words in the dictionary file would not display the red wavy underline when spelling check is used on an opened document in Arbortext.  However, the words on the document which were also on the dictionary file are still display with red wavy underline. If someone can provide the reasons why and the solutions to make the user-defined dictionary to work as intended, your inputs are greatly appreciated.
