Windchill

We have 1 production PDMLink 12.1 server and 2 test/dev 12.1 servers that were created by upgrading from an existing 11.1 server. Built a 4th server with an OOTB installation, and copied over the production Oracle database and ldap export, but get the following error: User not found: unknown web name: "wcadmin". Now when I run the wt.auth.Authentication command, my user/password for wcadmin works. When I try logging on using that user/pw, I get the above mentioned error. I have tried installing PDMLink 12.1 with temp user and OOTB built database, and then changing the information to match the production info, and tried installing against an existing copy of the prod database and ldap info. Seems things are different now that the Windchill Directory Server is no longer bundled with the PDMLink installation. Just wondering if anyone has done something similar for PDMLink 12.1. Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I downloaded the PTC Solution Installer for Windchill 13. I'm running the installer on Linux CentOS 9 Stream + Java 17, for somewhat reason, the installer gets blocked on the first step: "Please wait, PTCSolnInstaller is being configured for your system. This may take a moment"Stays like that until I close it. When I go to the /tmp directory I see that the installer creates a install.dir folder. Inside the temp.lax file I see a message:"The installer either could not find a Java VM, or the Java VM on this system is too old. The installer requires Java 1.1.5 or later. It can be downloaded from -java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/".The strange thing is I have Java already installed. Any idea why it cannot find the JVM or it's something else?  

As per this thread - same issue    Hi Sudeep I am facing the exact challenge that you were - finding the API to create a New View Version of an existing part. I was exited to find what seems to be a "yes the API exists" but struggle a bit since I am only used to work with the REST API. Can you provide input to whether the "Create New View Version" also exists in the REST API?  

When trying to create a HTML representation of a DMC in Windchill, I encounter an error that said "data marked not to be published or not published due to filter".  the Issue number is 001 and the In Work number is 001 and the State in in work in progress. Greatly appreciated if someone can provide the cause of the error and ways to resolve it.

I defined a datautility to control the display text of some Attributes, but when I looked on the attribute tab of the structure Tab, I didn't see it as I saw it on the main attribute page(first Tab). When I debug the attribute of the structure tab, I found that it would enter the getPlainDataValue method of DataUtility. But the first parameter to this method is just the id of the registered datautility instead of the normal component id, so how do I get the original value of the component with datautility set?

Hi, is any one aware of getting the file from Application data, I have a attachment XML as secondary content to EPM Document, I want the XML as File rather than applicationContent and pass the File as a parameter to other method. Anyone aware of this please add in your comments or suggestions. Thanks 

Does anyone know what type of file between WGM and 3DExperience? 3DXML? XML?  

I am looking for a workaround to edit and delete views without having to edit them manually through View Administration. This article says it is not possible via loadFromFile, is there some other way?

This is really weird and I have playing with it for 2 weeks now. All systems do the publishing on their Windchill server. Mix of Windows 2016 and 2019 servers, but I don't think that natters, All systems running on Oracle. System 1 - Windchill 11.1 M020 CPS20 Creo 7.0.10.0 CreoView Adapter 7.1.1.0 Publishing starts automatically when a file is either requested or checked-in. This is the desired configuration. System 2 - Windchill 12.0.2.10 Creo 7.0.10.0 CreoView Adapyter 7.1.1.0 Publishing does not start automatically. If I manually start the Proeworker, then the system will publish the files as expected. I just disconnect from the server and let it run. System 3 - Windchill 12.0.2.12 Creo 9.0.5.0 CreoView Adapter 9.1.0.0 System is a test system updated from an initial 12.0.2.8 install to 12.0.2.10 to 12.0.2.12. This system runs just like the Windchill 11.1 system, everything is automatic. System 4 - Windchill 12.0.2.12 Creo 9.0.5.0 CreoView Adapter 9.1.0.0 This is my 'clean insta

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.
