Hi All,I need to make Template attribute mandatory which is present on Create Change notice Wizard ? How I can do that.PFA. 

I am looking to mass set effectivity (Date Effectivity) across my system. Is the correct API the following?wt.effectivity.EffectivityHelper.setEffectivityTarget(wt.effectivity.Effectivity effectivity, wt.effectivity.EffectivityHoldereffectivityHolder) I would provide a version of a WTPart (holder) and an Effectivityinstance (WTDatedEffectivity), assuming that this method does the storefor me. Another question, would I be responsible for providing the proper enddate when creating the WTDatedEffectivity? For example, if I had a partwith multiple revisions and I was setting effectivity on all of them,when I apply the effectivity to version B after A was defined asopen-ended, would it update the end date of A to the start date of B?

Hello,I have a question about the "Remove from Cache" and "Purge Paticipant Cache" actions on Windchill's Participant Administration menu.If I execute those actions, what will the consequences be?Does the user's workspaces get cleared out?  

Will ChatGPT AI Revolutionize Engineering and Product Development? Here’s What to Know.  I was just reading PTC's blog post on potential impacts of ChatGPT on engineering. This is all moving very fast, years have been reduced to months and weeks. Just a few weeks back I was seeing a flurry of posts and youtube videos on PrivateGPT: How to create a private ChatGPT with your own data  It got me thinking of how this can impact search. Assuming you had compute resources to ingest all your data and documents inside of Windchill, what could you ask it? The Windchill data model and relationships would not be terrible difficult for an AI to learn combined with the LLM you would train from the content, having the ability for a user to interact in a natural language to mine the system would be a game changer.    Users struggle understanding the complex relationships between objects and as administrators we spend our time making the interface and system blend those things

Hello dear Community,lately I have encountered a problem while creating a promotion notice on a WTDocument. To further describe my case: I am using Windchill Version 12.0.2.1.In the 3rd step of the Create Wizard of the Promotion Notice, the user has to tick at least 1 user for each custom role: "Genehmiger", "Work Instruction Genehmigung" and "Work Instruction Info". To ensure that he does so, I have implemented a Validator.   The Problem: The User ticks one WTUser for each role, like he should, so the Validator should not throw an error message.The Validator throws an error message.The User unticks his previously ticked WTUsers and ticks them again.Now it works just fine and the Validator lets him complete. In the Validator Class, in the Method "validateFormSubmission", I am retrieving the ticked WTUsers by iterating uiValidationCriteria.getParameterMap(); While debugging I have noticed that the parameterMap misses some Role-User-Param

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to set up a supplier (a person) as a reviewer for a container and not just for a singular document.I have thought of:creating a supplier organization > adding the supplier document into the supplier organization > setting up the supplier as the reviewer for that supplier organization. I am not knowledge able with Windchill and only have started using this PLM software. I would believe that the container could act as a folder for the supplier documents and set the supplier as the reviewer for that folder. Please let me know if I can do something similar or if there is an actual method on doing so. Thank you for the support in advanced!

Hi, Is there a way to import a spreadsheet file to assign and/or update assigned expressions on usage links of parts for certain configurable modules/end items? I know you can export/import part structures in general, which has been quoted here for example. And I think I've read somewhere in the Windchill Help that this can include assigned expressions. However, I think that the basic way can only carry the expressions on items, not usage links. That is, if any at all. Use case - it's much easier and quicker to analyse and tweak configuration logic in spreadsheets, plus people who do this don't use Windchill at all. In case of thousands of items, which also happen to have different rules based on type of a product they're used in, updating logic for each is unbearable.I've automated spreadsheet rule generation process but then whenever changes happen I'd have to know which items were affected (easy to do) and go through the list of thousands of items dozens of

Hello Community, I wanted to know what are the preferred framework that we can opt to develop unit test classes for Windchill code. So far, I used Junit 4.0 to develop test classes but I am encountering many issues when I try to mock Windchill classes like VersionControlHelper, WTState etc. Has anyone in our community developed Junit tests with mocking of all classes instead of using actual Windchill objects' data? Looking forward to your response. Thanks,Hari

Hello, I'm writing about an issue we encountered while trying to register the resource bundle file into the Text Tailoring functionality. The problem is, we are not sure for which resource bundle file we need to be looking for. Is there a way to find it from the GUI for concrete label or action, or we need to search it within the source. For example, if I want to change the table name "Where Used" in Part to "Where Used New" what's the way to check the resource bundle file for this label?I'm using Windchill 12.1,    

Hi, I couldn't find any information in the documentation about this. Is it possible to enable the "View ERP part details" function in the UI without using the Tibco integration tools for Oracle or SAP? We're using a custom integration tool to our ERP system (Microsoft Dynamics) and it would be really useful to have costing and stock information available in Windchill for the engineers. Has anyone managed to get this working for any other system than SAP or Oracle? Thanks in advance!

Currently the title display is "Change Object Type - OBJECTNUMBER, CAGE CODE"The desired title display is "Change Object Type - OBJECTNUMBER, OBJECTNAME, CAGE CODE"Windchill PDMLink 12.0.2.5Similar to how WTDocuments and WTParts display the information in the title, only without the requirement for revision. I was unable to find any preferences that address this
