How do I use a robot to set the state of my resulting objects back to In Work.  The Lifecycle only allows the transition from In Work to Under Review, but on a rework loop they need to be set back to In Work to be updated. 

Hi, I've created lots of aliases for Options and Variants configuration. Supposedly those can be exported/imported but I can't find any way to do so. I can export the Options and Choices list, however there's no similar option available for Aliases. See the SS from help center, which doesn't explain it in any way.    

When certain documents update, I need to send the primary content via an HTTP POST request. I am having trouble finding any supporting documentation and was wondering if it was possible. If so, how.  Thank you in advance  

Is there a way to reset the team of a change object from the workflow?  I have a set up participants that if I remove a user or group during this step, if it is sent back for rework, the removed participants are no longer available as they have been removed from the list of roles for the change object.

Is there a way to assign a new change admin 2 to a Change Request, when the Change Request is already running? 

Is there a mechanism during workflow scripting where I can use the log level to control when they show? I currently use System.out.println statements to get messages written in the logs while debugging new workflow behavior, and then rip it out when it's done and ready for production release.  I would rather leave it in and turn it on or off with log levels.  What's the mechanism I should use?

Hi @HelesicPetr  @avillanueva @BenLoosli  and everyone,  what are the general high level steps involved in implementing the SSO on windchill PDMlink?PS: identity provider in our company is LDAP AD and CAS is Pingfederate which is already being configured.

Hello together, is it possible to change the text of the "Submit Now" / "Submit Later" Dialog in Change Request creation?I found an article to disable the dialog: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS79510But the text seems to be in a .class file. Is there a possibility to override it?Thank you.

Screen display issues when moving the WGM window from monitor to second one when using two screens with different resolution (4K vs FHD). Workaround: Overrider high DPI Scaling behaviour performed by application ( as described in CS306121) Please rework Workgroup Manager Application to natively support proper high DPI Scaling behaviour.

2 new articles on PTC dealing with issues with Amazon Corretto 11.0.20 and 17.0.8   https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS397632 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS397375   I just tried 11.0.20.8.1 on a test Windchill 12.1.2.2 server and I also have this issue (CS397632) of Windchill failing to start. I don't have a Windchill 13 install to test. I have not tried running a PSI solution either with this.   On my laptop I can also vouch that upgrading the java from Amazon Corretto 17.0.7.7 to 17.0.8.7, that my Eclipse sees that it has many "can't find class" errors. Downgrading from 17.0.8 back to 17.0.7 fixes the Eclipse issue.    

 Hello Experts,I want to remove the user from groups using API .. license groups (e.g. "PTC Creo Data Management and Visualization License") & user created groups (e.g. "Advanced Viewing users") which are in turn added in license group by admin.  Problem statement: I am using below API to get the groups in which user is member, but it is pulling the pseudo groups as well, like output I have provided below. WTGroup.removeMember(wtUser), Windchill goes and delete all assigned groups and as well as pseduo groups associated to WTUser object. Which might lead to other issues for user. What is best possible way to remove the user from group which are visible in UI (without removing from pseudo groups)? Does anyone has code snippet which I can reuse? API:Enumeration<WTPrincipalReference> groups = OrganizationServicesHelper.manager.parentGroups(wtUser); OUTPUT:..*PRINT getPrincipal .getName() output* PRODUCT MANAGER*PRINT principalRef.getPrincipalSt

I am getting following error while running a custom class file as described in CS353022. Windchill is configured with SSO + OpenDJ.What could be the possible issue?  ..

Prior to installing windchill pdmlink 12.1.x do we need to have sql server installed? or does PSI install the software and create DB, Installation user, and application user? 

We are trying to export a "report" that will show the CAD models related to a given Windchill Part.  Or the other way around; a report that shows what Windchill Part is related to a given CAD model.  We would like this to be able to search thru more than one given, but could even live with just spitting out the whole of the WT Part folder.  We also are trying to do so from a Windchill user standpoint, but might be able to get the Windchill admin to help if it isn't too involved.Any thoughts or suggestions?   Thanks in advance!  

The beauty of family tables, they are like a real family, you shouldnt break them up, families stay together.  Here is my issue: Generic part A is at version A3 with 88 instances it in it, -1 to -90 (missing two) Generic part A at version A2 added 50 instances, two were deleted out of the family table. Generic part A at version A1 had 40 instances, -1 to -40. At version A2, two of the instances got deleted out of the family table -39 and -40!  These two dashed still exist in the common space.  but they don't exist in the part A generic, revision A3. I want to create version A4 that will have 90 instances in it, all of them up to date, -1 to -90, re add the two missing instances, -39 and -40. I tried Article - CS314555 - How to merge the latest versions of Family table instances with the latest version of a generic model in Windchill PDMLink (ptc.com) But there were naming conflicts and full of errors when trying to add the two inst
