Windchill

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

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to roll-up an attribute value of a child back to the parent using the classification tool by using rules ?As in the diagram below, I am looking to take the "yellow" value from one part of the structure. Otherwise I have to manually edit the parent to populate the attribute.  According to CS331073, it's not possible to use alias attributes in the classification tool and I dont want to create an alias attribute directly carried on PART type. Do you encounter this problem and how to work around it?

Hi, I have some problems with PROE worker.

Hi Everyone,I want a new attribute in the new user creation tab. when I tried to add the attributes, I only received the "Alias & Calculated" there I couldn't see the global attributes. If anybody knows how to add the attributes in new user creation, please support me.Thanks in Advance   

Description-seeing the below error sometimes on several of my systems. The BGMS fails to start even though we only have one Master vault. Usually without making any changes, the 2nd restart does not have any issues.Error occured -ERROR [main] wt.method.server.startup.services - Unable to start all managers. (wt.services.servicesResource/21) wt.services.ManagerException: Unable to start manager: "wt.fv.FvService" with implementation class: "wt.fv.StandardFvService"Nested exception is: wt.services.ManagerException: (wt.fv.fvResource/518) wt.util.WTException: System property wt.fv.forceContentToVault is set to TRUE. There can be only 1 master vault and it should be on the master site. Please set the property to FALSE or add the vault.

When I check in a Creo drawing that has images embedded on it, the published pdf does not show images (though the pdf shows only Creo entities). Is their a solution I can implement, thanks  

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.1.17Upon reboot of the Azure server, we are unable to restore the services for Windchill. In checking the logs it seems there are issues with Java folder permissions. When launching the web site we keep getting a 503 error. And I can't start the Windchill AppServer, keep getting an error code 1.Here are the errors that I facedService UnavailableThe server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.&Windows could not start the WindChill AppServer on the local computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1.

I know this report has been posted before, but I just did a search and can't seem to find it. I'm looking to get for a given context the list of all the ACLs.I've seen Antonio's SQL, but it gives the permission mask, not the actual permissions. Not sure how to convert that.

Hi,  Is both EPMDocument are same? 1] One which is showing in Types and Attribute manger.2] One which is showing when data checked in windchill from creo. I am seeing issue while configuration custom-action.xml <supportedTypes><type value="wt.part.WTPart" applyToDescendants="false"/></supportedTypes>  Where can I get EPMDocument assembly in Types and Attribute manger?  Regards,Shrikant Bhosle   

Hello the Community. I'm trying to update the "Variance Summary Report" in JasperSoft Studio.I want to add tables that would include Attributes we added to the Variance.I understand I need to create the new Fields in the dataset.I added some to the DatasetForVRHeader and made sure to match their name with the attribute's internal name.In addition, I aslo found that those reports are relying on Info*Engine.Therefore, I updated the related .xml to include the attributes I want to display in my report.I updated tasks/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/change2/reports/VarianceSummaryHeader.xml and ChangeItemSummaryHeader.xml.  (tomcat and Info*Engine caches were cleared)When compiled, the report seems not to understand the changes I made (the added attributes are displayed without value).Does anybody succeeded in making chenges to those "Info*Engine" generated reports ? Regards.François
