Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: We are using options and variants, as well as classification. There is some overlap between options/choices and attribution on the classification node to support search and retrieval.Description: It seems inefficient to duplicate options and choices into the classification taxonomy and have users perform double entry to maintain the classification attribution. I haven't been able to find any out of the box configuration options or tools for this, but it seems our situation cannot be unique and I am curious if any other customer has successfully worked a solution for this. At first glance it seems there are two routes to explore.1) Customize at the data entry/creation step to force options and choices to drive attribute values onto the item2) Customize the search/retrieval to include classification, attributes and options and choices. Anyone have any other suggestions to share? 

Since Migration from Oracle to MS SQL Database, windchill performance is unstable.Performance degrades over time after Restart.Only Restart helps to make it better for a short time after which it degrades again.The Workflows become very slow. Tasks which shall be triggered in less than a minute takes more than 10-20 minutes, sometimes more.Sync robots are extremely delayed as well.We try clearing the blocking sessions in DB, but not much help

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Errors in logs at Windchill startup, but it starts.Description: This has been asked before, but as there's two different related articles I'm asking again. There's errors in logs at Windchill startup:com.ptc.paa.config.keystore.PAAKeyStore  - Error getting the value from the KeyStore file java.security.KeyStoreException: Could not load keystore file. However, Windchill starts and runs fine. There's two different solutions. One says to delete files and restart, another says to run -ant to recreate keystore. Which is enough? https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS287849https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS110492  

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: WCA suggests setting wt.queue.executeQueues to "false". Currently it's "true". I see no issues, but both BGMS and MS log show rows related to queues suggesting both 'manage' them which probably is not most efficient. However, not sure which way to go. Wondering has 'queue management' changed between versions.This article says for 12.1.2.x that it should be set to "false" if Background Method Server is configured:https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS295854 This one referencing 10.2 says queues fail, if it's not "true".https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS178571

Hi All, I am facing the same issue where I need to restart Worker daemon service manually, every time I re-boot windchill server and office worker server. The current situation is, We do monthly maintenance / backup and some update work. in result we need to restart Windchill services, server and publishing servers like office worker/Creo worker. We have to restart worker daemon service manually, it does not start itself. below is my current setting which shows it is set to automatic start and also /opt/ptc/Windchill_13/Windchill/conf/wvs/agent.ini file shows it autostart. but still we need to start it manually. Our office / Creo worker agent is windows server. out Windchill main server is Linux.   Regards, Khalid shamim

  This is a screen grab from the Part Classification facet. I use an identifier of no significance when defining the nodes but the display name is meaningful. Odd that I am seeing a mix of sometimes display name and sometimes internal node name (node###). What gives? Did it just get tired and give up? Windchill 11.1 M020.  

Hi. Can anybody advise how I can become trained to use the Windchill Bulk Migrator? Or is this just a tool that is used by PTC/PTC Partner consultants?

Customer asks:Does Windchill support the Cache Vault on local EBS gp3 storage? This vault processes high‑frequency read/write operations during uploads, and using S3 directly can lead to increased check‑in wait times. Windchill version:  12.1.2.6

Hi Community,I’m currently experimenting with Options & Variants to see if it could fit our company’s workflow.For testing, I’m using this setup: one Configuration End Item with a single Configuration Child underneath.So far, I’ve been able to successfully propagate parameters that are linked to option choices down to the child Configurable Articles.What I can’t figure out is how to propagate the value of a regular input parameter (for example, a length) from the parent configuration down to its configuration children.The idea is that the top-level configuration would receive one input length, and multiple configurable children would each calculate their own required length based on that value.I would then also like to use this new length in the Variant name.However, I haven’t found a way to pass that parent input parameter to the children.Has anyone done this before, or can explain the correct approach?I'm using Windchill 12.1.2.4Best regardsJustin

Version: Windchill 13.1.2 Use Case: Windchill installationDescription: Hi, hopefully a quick answer to this one. I can't find the version of Amazon Corretto JDK I should install as pre-requisite to Windchill v13.1.2 on RHEL 8.10. What version of corretto should it be? Where can I find that referenced in the PTC documentation?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I am trying to create a report that will tell me which EPMdocuments have been created or changed in the commonspace between a given date and today. I am only interested in the latest version and only standalone models and generics (no instances).Description: I have created a report that indicates all EPMdocuments last modified in the given date range.BUT the main problem is that it isn't limited to just the objects in the commonspace. It includes workspace object. It lists objects that a user has created and uploaded in a workspace (but not checked in yet) and existing objects that have been modified and uploaded in a workspace (but not checked in yet). There are fields in the EPMdocument that would seem to allow some filtering of this, but they don't seem to be accurate, at least at the level of the last modification.There must be some way to report only on the commonspace changes, but I'm not seeing how to do it. I thought this would be pre

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: I am in the process of setting up the config of a new Windchill environment. After doing this I will need to perform: 1. A migration of content from one Windchill instance into another of the same version. The content being brought across will be in the form of two different object types - a soft type change request and a soft type document. We would like to bring across a full history of each of these objects and include links within the objects to the document objects that they relate to. 2. A migration of content from a non-PTC application into a Windchill instance. We are likely to receive the export of the content in the form of a text file which I am hoping to use to feed a tool that will perform the import. I would like to be able to perform an import which will allow me to build an iteration history of Windchill objects based on the import. The objects I would like to create during the import will be soft type change tasks, change notices,

Question related to this old post   I was able to load only Change Requests using OOTB , Other Change Objects gets me an error for loader method.   Can anyone help?     Thanks.
