Windchill

We would like to disable Revise action from Folder Browser's action if certain condition doesn't matches our expectations. It can be achieved through Object's Details page, But couldn't perform the same in Folder Action.  Or else, Throwing explicit exception while revising the object from Folder Browser would also be fine. Please suggest your opinion dear friends!!

  I want the users to be able to edit only few columns(Comments or Disposition Comments), and make the other columns/fields read-only in this table. Is it possible with basic customization/configuration? 

Hi Experts,I need to create the link between Product family part and DMR. This can be done manually using "Referenced By Parts" in document -> related objects. I need this to be done through java code. Anyone can give a method how to build the link through code? Thanks.  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.1.0Help need for deleting a part in prod which is linked with the OL objects

hello, we have a business requirement that they have already checked in all their project CAD files into windchill and they are in release state. now they want those files (Soldiworks 2014&2019) to be upgraded as to open it with Solidworks 2022. Do we have any provision in windchill to replace those files with upgraded Solidworks 2022 files without changing any attribute or metadata of all those documents, just replaces the physical files/CAD files with newly upgraded files so that when user tries to access it from Windchill UI, they should be able to see upgraded files of Solidworks 2022 directly.@BenLoosli   

HiWe have some EPMDocuments as "DefaultEPMDocument" type in a Particular Library.How we can change all the data in this particular library to some other SubType, say "StandardPartType"As of now i can change one item at a time using "wt.epm.util.SoftTypeChangeUtility" 1. how can i change items of a particular library in batch mode? 2. how can i pass username password in single document mode command itself?Thank you.//Rakesh

Hello ,We have a rebuilding project for an older project  that we  delivered years ago,I have a xml file that they generated after delivery by this function:Now I want use the old version of 3D assembly model,Does windchill have some function for this problem, or Who have some good experience for  this issue?

I am using Windchill PDS - Internal Site Release N/A and Datecode with CPS N/A How to open two Creo at the same time, each Creo uses a different workspace, what settings are required?   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using Windchill PDS - Internal Site Release N/A and Datecode with CPS N/A如何同时开二个Creo，每个Creo用不同的workspace，需要做什么设置？

I am unable to figure out the way how we handle SSO sign in in Selenium Cucumber Java.  

Hi , Anyone aware if we can get the "Set Location" value changed during the check in of CAD object from workspace. 1. User will create a CAD Document in Workspace with Context is (ABC)2. User will change the context using Set Location available in Check In options  (XYZ)3. the CAD object is created in ABC only is there a API to get the changed location value ?  above options are not based on UI, we have some customization to check the valid objects to valid container which the validation is handled via listener during check in.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0My engineering team has been experiencing two new issues this week that have affected multiple people working on completely separate projects. Error 1: This error comes up when attempting to promote recently checked in objects. From the publisher it seems that it is in the que to be promoted correctly, but there is no person assigned to do the review/accept. The person promoting it usually assigns these to themselves, but we don't see any requests.Error 2: It occurs when attempting to upload assemblies (4 separate ones so far with no similarities that can be found) that use existing parts (but not all). We are used to having to re-download the correct version of some common parts before checking in, but when going through the process of add>download on all these parts we would usually regenerate and reupload from Creo. However, regenerating it makes windchill think we've modified those parts again and refuses to let us upload

We automated the process of duplicating the ManufDS and associated Process Plan from the MAPSB by extracting the number and name of the ManufDS and filling them into the corresponding fields of the Process Plan. To achieve this, we developed a custom class that extends the default DuplicateProcessPlanAssociationCopyOverDelegate class and modified certain methods. Subsequently, we replaced the default class with our custom class in the mpmlink.service.properties.xconf file.   <Option cardinality="singleton" requestor="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.processplan.MPMPartToProcessPlanLink" selector="mapsb_duplicate" serviceClass="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.CustomClass"/>   this worked smoothly in version 11, but unfortunately, it is not functional in the current version 12.1. and the line corresponding to DuplicateProcessPlanAssociationCopyOverDelegate is no longer exists in the mpmlink.service.properties.xconf file.11:12.1: We would greatly appreciate

I'm embarking on a "remove duplicates" effort in our environment and am doing some tests to finalize how best to approach it.  The obvious "Replace with New" and "Replace with Existing" WTParts seem to be the way to go. Looks like "Supersede" and adding effectivity impacts WTPart for any downstream efforts - like eBOM/mBOM converstion and flagging components.  I'm struggling with understanding what or how "Publish to CAD" is supposed to do. Best I'm able to get it to work when I replace a WTpart in a structure is to have it replace the part in my CAD assembly and then remove everything else in that assembly. That seems the opposite of the desired behavior. Am I missing something?  Is there a feature in "Supersede" that will replace or disallow use of a superseded component or is the best it offers a flag? 

Hi,failing to find explanation in documentation,how can one use the "Externally Distributable" Optional Attribute for Attachments (WTDoc) ? Is it related to Package creation, include / exclude based on this? Looks like it can't be added as a column in e.g. Structure view, correct? (Windchill 11.1 M020)

Has anyone tried to create a custom input page for a Jasper report with an itempicker?  I see that the ootb  ChangeSummary report uses one - I tried to copy the pattern where it uses a .js script to set the contextOid (of the selectedobject) as a hidden input (and verify it is set when I debug) and submits the form but it is not getting passed to the report task.xml.   Thanks.  

Hi Guys, I would appreciate your help finding a solution - I am working on WT Parts, and wherever I create a WT Part it's only stored in one Library, not in the same context. Thanks in Advance,Amir  

Hi, there's a couple of articles suggesting it is possible to convert Date&Time inserted to Word document through DTI to show just Date by adding \@ "YYYY-MM-dd" to the field. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS272094 Could someone provide the EXACT syntax how this is accomplished? Something like this maybe {DOCPROPERTY IBA|APPROVAL_DATE \@ "YYYY-MM-dd" \* MERGEFORMAT} It maybe an issue with versions of Windchill & Word I'm experiencing, but I can't rule that out.

My Creo version is 5.0, and windchill version is 11.0.When I use IE as inner browser , It is working(yes, some dialogue show : some scripts make your browser running slowly, do you want to stop running them). Are there some configurations in windchill server side not right?Would anyone know how to fix this problem.Thanks in advance! 

Using the Rest API the get the BOM of a part like this:```curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' 'http://domain.com/Windchill/servlet/odata/v5/ProdMgmt/Parts('OR%3Awt.part.WTPart%3A123456789')/Uses?%24count=false'```I get results containing "ID": "OR:wt.part.WTPartUsageLink:1234567890".How can I get the part attributes of the linked part like I get them using```curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' 'http://domain.com/Windchill/servlet/odata/v5/ProdMgmt/Parts?%24select=ID&%24filter=Number%20eq%20'ABC123'&%24count=false'```

  

Hello! We installed windchill and are now exploring the possibilities how to use and configure our system. Before Windchill we made a pdf of each part and assembly and made manufactering record book for our customers.We are now seeking the possibilty to have our electronics BOM seperate from our Mechanics BOM, where the "dummy" mechanic parts are just a representation of space required and the electronics BOM are fully defining the parts using WTParts. Meaning a complete E-BOM will be a mix of the two BOMs. The CAD drawing we earlier sent to our customers will with this solution only refer to dummy mechanical  parts. How do I then share our WTPart structure with our customers to show the build up of an assmbly? We dont want to force our customers over to creo view to spin 3d models for retrieving data. I tried searching the community and reseller regarding this question, but I am not able to get any useful answers on sharing data that currently are shared by a Creo drawi

So, my company is changing usernames...again. I looking to mirror those activities for PDMLink so that they not have to remember two ids. I know how to mass change the LDAP and DB to implement this change. My question is the workspace cache. I've seen cases if you login into Windchill and the local workspace cache was for a different Windchill users, it would complain. I am trying to avoid this AND not have users have to blow away their cache again. Is it possible to alter the username in the cache so it can continue working normally? Does anyone know where this is stored? 

Hi all, Looking at customizing lifecycle states in a sandbox, adding my own states, I should have access to a "Customize Modeled Enumerations panel" under Site - Utilities - Type and Attribute Management. However, I only see the usual five "Manage,,," panels. Guides tell me not to do this directly in files, but use the utility.I'm trying to find out what I'm missing, but no luck so far in PTC help pages here. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r12.1.2.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/etutil/TypeMgrModeledEnumEnumSelect.html#wwID0EEWEW

Hello, I would like to retrieve the constraints of a classification attribute (Valid Range, Legal Value List, String Values, etc).I tried it like mentioned in https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS240966 PersistableAdapter persistableAdapter = new PersistableAdapter(manuPart, null, SessionHelper.manager.getLocale(),new DisplayOperationIdentifier());AttributeTypeSummary attrDesc = persistableAdapter.getAttributeDescriptor(internalAttrName);attrDesc.getLegalValueSet();attrDesc.getConstraints(); getLegalValueSet() always returns null, even though all attributes I tried have at least 1 constraint.getConstraints() is deprecated and also returns null. I tried so many different approaches, nothing worked. I found another post from last year, where the same problem was described. Is there another way to query attribute constraints, is there some kind of service for that? Thanks and best regards 

As per the original post.    Hi @cblaumeier ,   I am currently having the same issue. I am not quite sure what you mean. I tried loading all classifications branches from where the attribute lies up to the root. I also tried some other approaches but no matter what I try, I always receive null when executing .getConstraints() or .getLegalValueSet().   Could you please explain this in more detail. What exactly do I need to load before loading the attribute itself?   Best regdards
