What is the Difference between New Downstream Branch and New Downstream Part in BOM Transformer?

Is it possible to use manage replacement operation in more BOM?

Could you please share API imports used for same. It will be helpful.Reference topic link - https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Change-Object-type-using-API/m-p/302875#M35609

Hello Everyone, How many of the long term Windchill folks feel if PTC is losing focus towards improving Windchill as a product with every release with no much of improvement in adding or enhancing functionalities? The What's new document for Windchill 13.0 is just a mere 38 page document for a new release with No meaningful to NIL new enhancements or any key features for few key modules like PDM Link, Project Link & Service Information Manager.

Hi, Windchill 12.1.2.2, Two things I have issues with: a) When there are legacy CAD files brought into WC and then WTParts are created and associated to them in bulk, can representations be created for them automatically? How - which settings control that? Also can representations be generated in bulk afterwards?We're in a place where some items have representations, other do not: Sending them individually to WVS worker generates most of them but it's manual labour... b) How do you set up the background in CAD and viewables generation on WTParts? In my case visualization on WTPart appears as expected because WTParts of backgrounds are not generated and do not participate in structure. However Creo View viewables (thumbnail and open in Creo View) contain 1:1 CAD default master representation which is undesirable. Any tips appreciated! Best regards,Tom

Hello Everyone, My requirement is to migrate the custom objects which is not able to do using WBM tool. This Migration is in 12.0.2 version and Windchill -  Windchill Migration. Hope any one of you help me to answer my question. Awaiting for your response 🙂

Folks,I have a customer who has many groups configured in their Active Directory but wants to filter Windchill access to just 5 of the groups. They have one group currently defined in <Runtime Service Name>.windchill.mapping.user.filter. Per Article CS24211 I edited app-Windchill-AuthProvider.xml and added the 4 new filters. But that article does not mention how to update windchill.mapping.user.filter for multiple filters. (I commented on that article to have them add in the missing info.) I see that there is an Edit button on that Property. I'm looking for what syntax I need to add the other filters. What is the delimiter between filter "memberOf" entries? A [Return}, comma, space or semicolon? Thanks,Mark Plimley

HI, I have around 100 parts create in PLM, which will have individual attachments. Is there anyways i can add easily instead of editing each parts and attaching the document ?

Screenshot is just for example.Below is the scenario :There is a group named PLM_Deactivated users  Under members, there are columns named Name,, user name, email , last name and distinguished name  Here, I need to add two more columns. Is that possible, If yes, how? Thanks in advance 

Hi, I wrote a SELECT statement that basically queries all Change Activities for all Change Orders (please ignore the * selector for now):SELECT*FROM WTCHANGEORDER2 INNER JOIN INCLUDEDIN2 ON WTCHANGEORDER2.branchiditerationinfo = INCLUDEDIN2.BRANCHIDA3A5 INNER JOIN WTCHANGEACTIVITY2 ON INCLUDEDIN2.BRANCHIDA3B5 = WTChangeActivity2.branchiditerationinfo Now I would like to convert this to a Windchill QuerySpec.What I am trying to do is to get attributes for both the Change Activity and the Change Order. For now I used the * selector but I would like to select attributes from WTChangeActivity2 and WtChangeOrder2. As of my intuition, you need to specify an "output" class for your query spec, so what class or type those objects from the Query spec belong to but in my case this would be mixed because I need attributes from both types. Is there a way how I can do this or do I need to split my query up (i.e. first query all Change Orders and then query all Change Activities

I think one of the first exercises when customizing Windchill is making use of Queryspec API to search for objects in the database. Given a number string, find me the Parts that match and do something with them. If we are taking input from the browser, what consideration must we do so that we do not open ourselves up to SQL Injection?  Does the API already handle this for us internally?    Given that I am providing the where clause a string value directly from the user's input, how do we make sure it does not contain another SQL statement? Is that where its done, checking before adding to where clause? I know that we can put checks on any exceptions that are thrown from bad input that can expose data. Just curious where developer's responsibilities lie and what PTC has already handled.

Hello,  I’m trying to implement SSO in our PTC Windchill environment using Shibboleth as the Service Provider and our Identity Provider is Okta. I'm basing my configs off of OKTA SSO and Windchill - PTC Community but I'm getting errors. I will admit I'm not fully sure what I'm doing, so I've basically taken the configs from that post, changed the URLs to our own okta site id's (after working with our Okta admin on that part) but I seem to be missing something.  I’ve been able to get Shibboleth to call out to okta when I try logging into Windchill, but once I log into Okta, I get this error message:<faultcode>S:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Error processing request.</faultstring> Looking at the shibd.log, I see these errors when there’s a login failure:2023-11-09 14:00:03 WARN OpenSAML.MessageDecoder.SAML2SOAP [2] [default]: ignoring incorrect content type (application/x-www-form-urlencoded)2023-11-09 14:00:03 ERROR Shibbo

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS23I cannot find the table that holds the SUB object types in Oracle SQLExample: WTDocument:I believe WTDocument.BRANCHIDA2TYPEDEFINTIONREFERENCE andWTDOCUEMENT.IDA2TYPEDEFINITION REFERENCE hold the ID of the SUB TYPE of WTDocument.However, I cannot find the table with which to join to get the UI NAME for those ID's.

How can I move a part to a different assembly in one configuration without it changing the location in all other configurations? Example - I have 2 different configurations that's composed of 2 cabinets. In Configuration 1, I have a keyboard (part) that is in cabinet A (Assembly). In Configuration 2, the same keyboard is in cabinet B (assembly). If I move the keyboard to cabinet B in config 2, it automatically moves it to cabinet B in config 1. How do I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to lock each configuration? 

In the automatically executed project plan, the Estimated Start date is getting set to the Actual Start date when the activity starts and the Estimated End date is getting set to Actual end date when the activity is completed.Due to this the estimated start and end dates are always same as the actual start and end dates for running or completed activities.Because of this behavior we are not able to track delayed activities. Is there any solution to this?  

I need ideas on how to get comments sent to all participants in a workflow.Example:We have a doc called Sales Call Report, basically it's a document that is filled out after meeting with a customer.  Then it's routed around to various departments notifying them of the visit and what transpired.  People have been commenting when completing task thinking that the comments are sent to the creator.....but they are not.  I have explained that the comments are viewable only if you go back in and look for them.  Is there a way to have the creator of the document notified if a comment is entered down stream in the workflow? Thanks in advance:Greg
