Version: Windchill 12.0   Use Case: Installed CPS 12.0.2.26 Try to Stop Windchill Service (e.g. for backup purposes) Description: When I try to stop Windchill service within "Services" or by running 'sc stop "PTC Windchill"', it would not stop correctly.  In "Services" I get an Error 1053:   'sc stop "PTC Windchill"' just reports "STOP PENDING", but nothing more (no additional error message).   After around 4 minutes, the service finally stops, but I guess, that windows just terminates all corresponding processes after a certain time.   MethodServer.log reports several [Servlet engine stop] wt.system.err - WARNING: The web application [Windchill] appears to have started a thread named [xyz] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak. Stack trace of thread:   I updated JDK vom 11.0.13 to 11.0.30, but nothing changed.  

Version: Windchill 13.1 Use Case: for a new version of a tool we provide, we want to create a custom page with multiple tabs. currently we used classic simple html / javascript - but we want to upgrade to mvc components to maintain more the "windchill ui look"Description: at first I thought about using a custom wizard.a wizard has in general multiple tabs - but the concept isn't really matching as the tool should have tabs for different manage actions / checks. wizards reflect more a step by step process.I'm looking for a way to build a page like the windchill object detail pages.For tool I'm planning about 5 fixed tabs. each tab would have multiple tables, radios, checkboxes and input fields.Any suggestion how to achieve this?thanks in advance!

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I have noticed it is possible to allocate the same part instance object into multiple different parent part instances.Description: In reality, this would never happen.

Millions of files and there is bound to be some errors. 6 in fact which blocks me removing an old vault.  They are all "public_params.xml" files that show up in the vault but will not move. I ran WTContenVerify and it reports back Business object missing. So I get that I have a valid FVItem but the object its tied to is done, a Derived Image. Some related articles on this topic: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS121641?source=search https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS110809?source=search https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS280885?source=search It sounds like I have to prune the FVItem, Holder2Content, ApplicationData related to these entries. Anyone been down this road before? Tips appreciated. Was hoping there was a WinRU to fix this.

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Searching for the latest document in Windchill Desktop Integration in officeDescription: The DTI feature in MS Office, for us rarely open as a list of documents, so we use the search feature. The standard search setting is though to show all revisions of a document. This clutters the output and easily gets users to chose the non-latest revision.  Where can this preference be set?  

How do I get the folder ID? Right now I am trying to use the Windchill REST Services site where it generates the request and response for you. I assume that under the data administration domain you can get folders from a container using /Containers{'ContainerID'}'/Folders but it seems like none of the folders show up when I provide the ContainerID for an organization. Windchill Version 12.1.2.0 and REST API 2.5

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Using the + sign on multi-valued attributes with enumeration or pick list is an awful UX design. Has anyone built a data utility or interface JSP to populate using drop down checklist or a multi-select check list (like the type manager has). Description: when selecting multiple values for an attribute, there is a + (plus) sign to add another row to pick more values.   All other interfaces in the world (including type selection in the search ) us pull-down checkboxes, or pick list    has anyone already built the customization to do this that can be easily plugged in.  (Hopefully would be universal to handle any attribute)

When I go into WindChill it shows me logged in for a second but then the message "plm.epdm.army.mil says : You do not have access to this object or it does not exist."

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?
