Windchill

Hello I am currently modifying the where used table. I managed to add some additional columns and now I am trying to make it configurable, so you can edit and create your own views. Extending the WhereUsedTreeBuilder class and addingjcaTreeConfig.setConfigurable(true);jcaTreeConfig.setShowCustomViewLink(true);to the buildComponentConfig at least displays the edit and save actions for the views. I can also create and edit views. The problem is that Windchill adds almost all attributes to the tab "Column Display" and whenever I try to remove an attribute from it, it says:ATTENTION: Action Is Not Valid. The <attribute name> column cannot be removed. Please choose another column.So, it is possible to create views, but I cannot select which columns this views should contain since Windchill does not let me remove most of the attributes so I end up with a view with a couple of hundred columns.When editing the default columns (All Revisions or Latest) Windchill also displays the sam

DearWe like to enforce a more structured naming convention for WTDocuments. For the moment the name is taken from the filename but we will not accept anything anymore in the future.I like to work with Java code as a validaion list can be used there.I understand that this must be part of the OIR, so the user will be prompted to give a proper name during the adding.Can someone point me to the correct startpoint ?Regards Bernard

I have a local windchill installation on my laptop and have the below entry in hosts file192.xxx.0.xxx MYPCNAME localplm.com But when I connect to VPN and use the VPN's ipv4 value in the IP name, Im unable to start the windchill.My company policy doesnt allow access to majority sites like stackoverflow, ptc support without vpn. Now, each time if i need to cross check something, i need to go via vpn and then restart method server for local development. Is there a solution for this? Which IP should I be using in the hosts file while on vpn.   

Hello all, One of my co-workers saved some of his drawings to his "A workspace" in Windchill  and exited Creo. He has not checked in any of these parts to windchill. Then he switches workspaces and works on a few other projects in windchill and exits Creo.A few days later, he tries to retrieve drawings from his first project from "A workspace" but finds that a lot of the dimensions in his drawings are missing. He claims he saved the drawings to "A workspace" before he exited Creo. He has no duplicate drawings or copies of any of these drawings anywhere locally or in windchill either. Can anyone help us understand why this happens ?

Hi teamWe have created a subtype in the Type and Attribute Management Utility on our Dev server (a subtype of Problem Report with different fields). Now we would like to migrate it to the QA and eventually Prod server. I was hoping to see an Export/Import feature like we have for report templates, but this does not seem to exist.  Do I have to recreate it manually on the next server?thanks -- Rick

Reposting here as wellWe are in process of upgrading our Thingworx platform to 9.3.3 We are using integration-runtime-8.0.13-b1669 Integration runtime. We are seeing below api timed out issue intermittently.  We are actively working with PTC on this issue (C16735337) however, the issue is sporadic in nature so we are not able narrow down what is the issue here. The client processor thread is not receving 200 response back from Windchill on the web request intermittently. We have been very stable on our 8.x enviroments in production for last 5 years.

Hello! I would like to add some WTPart IBAs to the WTPart Where Used table. I have tried creating a new table builder and extending the WhereUsedTreeBuilder but no matter what I try, the table stays the same and the columns I added via the table config in code are not displayed.Is it even possible to extend this table or am I doing something wrong? Best regards

We currently do not have options and variants enabled. While we've come close with past products that had some flavors of options, this new one fits the classic model. The number of options are currently low but we've introduced paint color of the housing as a variation. The housing and other external components are 3-4 level below the top level end item in both the BOM and the CAD assembly. I understand that introducing options will potential impact many levels and possible involve restructuring the BOM. Is it worth introducing the added complexity to the system or can this new feature be contained to only the product lines that need it? At what point do you introduce management of options and its functionality to the system?
