Windchill

We're starting a project to try to enhance the way that data is presented to approvers in a Promotion Request. We use Promotion Requests for approving state changes. We do not use the ECN or ECR functionality in Windchill currently. It's challenging for approvers sometimes to know what they are supposed to review/approve because Promotion Requests out-of-the-box only have a table display for the related items. A complex promotion request for us may include:  Assembly WTPart, CAD model, Drawing Documents related to the WTPart Supplier Part (we are using the SUMA module) Documents related to the Supplier Part All the above for one or more Child WTPart(s) I think what we're going to work toward developing will be some sort of Tree view to better be able to visualize the relationships between the items.   My question is if anyone else has worked on something similar to this, and what solution you are using?        

I have two attributes let's say A and B with some values, for attribute A of   I have selected value as "MH" then automatically B should show "IN". Is it possible OOTB? If yes, how to achieve it ? 

Hello, I am currently migrating the codebase from Windchill 11.1 to 12.0 and facing issues in the new log4j 2.0 package, namely in the following APIs-Layout layout = new PatternLayout("%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n");FileAppender appender = new FileAppender(layout, WTProperties.getServerProperties().getProperty("wt.logs.dir")+ File.separator + "SetStateOfAffectedObjects.log");logger.addAppender(appender); Anybody has any suggestions for the same? Thank you,Ramsha   

I am working on customizing the workflow task notication templates and have a few questions.   1.)  Why does the activityNoficationURL method not get put in comments but all of the other methods do?  (It will fail if placed in comments.)  [Red Box]   2.)  Where is the extra condition "notification" for activityAttributes documented.  [Blue Box]     3.)  How do I get just the task URL without all of the extra garbage?  [Orange Boxes]   4.)  Why does the task list the process name instead of the task name?  Is this controlled by a preference?  If not, can the process name itself be changed?  (I'm already dynamically changing the task name.)     Thanks!

We are looking at trying to customize the appearance of the email notifications that get sent for workflow activities and workflow notification robots. I have found the information on customizing the workflow HTML templates and have found the directories where they are stored on our server, but I do not know the best way to go about customizing the HTML files to make them work properly with our system. We are using Windchill 10.0 M040.What I am looking for is a sample template that we could use as a starting point for developing our own email templates. Also, where are the scripts located that Windchill uses for generating the email content? The General_en_US.html template uses three scripts: getStyleSheetProps, activityNotificationUrl, and activityAttributes notification=true. In order to develop our own template, do I need to create my own custom scripts so that I can insert dynamic information relating to the workflow activity, etc.?I am a novice when it comes to HTML and Java devel

Dear allIt's wonderful to see all your inputs in these forums ! We have a Windchill change process where we need to generate custom partslist (BOM) in a pdf format with a predefined template (header , footer , logo etc). Inspite of all the efforts(customization) from the team it still is not possible. (I know this is not an OOTB function from Windchill) I reach out to all of you to seek your comments /suggestions We are using Windchill 12.0.2 .  Thank you in advance.

I am playing around with this on my server and I am running into this issue. This article seems to point to the issue: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS371380?source=search So my master site is handled by the Administrator's group with I think is default OOTB. The major draw to using security labels is that we can restrict access to objects, even the administrators. This seems to be telling me that I need to include site administrators to the group that is allowed to see content with these restrictive labels. Bummer. I get publishing and I am ok with that. I can also see using wcadmin and not the group since wcadmin should not be used ever to access data as a normal user.    This was odd to stumble into this since the user that I am logged in as is part of the unrestricted principal members but not wcadmin. I just don't see how the extra check for the principal for the site mattered.

How to write a custom UI validator that runs on a Change Request, when 'New->Create New Change Notice' is clicked, can we use preUIValidation that checks the state of the Change request, and throw an error message/warning in the UI if state is 'Under Review', and it should let users create Change Notice when state is 'Implemented'. What are the files that need to be customized to achieve this? 

We setup Thingworx Navigate with Windchill Authentication and had assumed the 'My Tasks' task would show tasks from Windchill e.g. Windchill 'Work Items', but it doesn't seem so. Is it correct that only External Tasks for the Out of Box Change Request Workflow of Windchill 12.0 and onwards are shown?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.2 and Datecode with CPS M030 The latest Windu patch cannot be downloaded from the official website of windchill 10.2 M030 version. Do you need to update the Windchill software to the latest CPS28 version before you can upgrade? Or do you mean that 10.2 M030 no longer needs the windu patch and can be directly upgraded?   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.2 and Datecode with CPS M030windchill 10.2 M030版本官网下载不到最新的Windu补丁，是需要更新Windchill软件到最新的CPS28版本才能升级还是说10.2 M030不再需要打windu补丁就能直接进行升级

Hi Community, I am following  "Windchill Workgroup Manager™ Installation Guide Windchill 11.1 M020" to Install and configure WGM. I have installed WGM successfully and now need to register Windchill Server as mentioned in guide section 4. After validating windchill server url it shows option for all the workspace available. Next I click "Ok" but no authentication option comes. Kindly let me know what are the next step or am I missing some where in the documentation. Attaching screenshot of steps followed for registering windchill server.  Regards,Sid  

This is a new installation for test and development, connected to our Windchill dev/test system which is configured SSL/HTTPS with CA signed certificates. We set up a Thingworx Platform server (MSSQL) SSL with self-signed certs installed Thingworx Flow, and then we installed Thingworx Navigate with fixed authentication and did some setup, generated app keys, did some training and tests etc with the Administrator user. Then we decided the next step should be to configure the Windchill Authentication but after running the Navigate Configurator and setting up the Windchill Authentication successfully the Thingworx Administrator user is gone? We can login to Thingworx Composer/Flow/Navigate as Windchill users, e.g. wcadmin account.
