Windchill

We updated to Windchill 12 a while back and I haven't had to change any properties since then. Now when I launch Windchill Shell and type in an xconfmanager command, I get back the error of " xconfmanager is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.  I have looked at our site.xconf and it still appears to point out the correct windchillconfigurator.xconf file (which does exist)<ConfigurationRef xlink:href="utilities/wca/conf/windchill/windchillconfigurator.xconf"/> Can anyone give some guidance as to what else might cause this? I have gone through this article PTC Windchill Help Center 

Hi Team,   I'd like to know if it is possible to integrate AWS-IAM for Identity & Access Management with Windchill. Users should be authenticated as well as Authorized with required Access from AWS_IAM side.   Is this achievable with Windchill 12.0?   Thanks, Priyanka Bhakare

Are there any usersout there who use EPICOR as an ERP and integrated it with Windchill?

Has anyone gotten hotswap agent to work with Windchill? I tried jRebel last week and I was impressed but if I can get similar functionality with HotSwap then I rather not get into the weeds of Software Purchase Authorization at work especially since I'm not doing heavy Windchill customizations at the moment.

Here is my issue: There is a feature that is able to discard a part. But I don't want to discard the part when it is "Resulting Objects" in some ChangeOrder or ChangeRequest.I've tried to get the part's related changeorder, but when the part was being revised in ChangeActivity, I can't get the related changeorder with the part number because its version has been changed. Is there a solution can handle this problem?

This is the first time I'm installing WC 12.  for the Repository Contains, Users is prechecked but Groups is not.  If I am doing an upgrade from 11.1, should I also check the Groups box?  Do I need to do anything with the User and Group Filter?

Hello all,  Does anyone know if there is a way to automate, or even just hotlink, direct downloads of Folder Contents to Excel lists, using the path Actions --> Export List to File --> Export to .xlsx, within a Product/Library directory? My organization keeps dedicated Promotion Requests folders that I periodically export as Excel lists to gauge promotion approval counts on a regular cadence. Both for the sake of consistency and because getting to the download links requires manually navigating through nested folders in multiple Product directories, I was wondering if anyone knows if any degree of automation can be achieved with a script or the like. The download URLs given by my browser alongside the .xlsx files appear to be temporary. I've been able to successfully connect the Desktop Integration to Excel, but I don't see any options for importing folder contents lists directly from Windchill into Excel. 

I've got three different Windchill systems that I am trying to move my users over to Microsoft AD.  I have test systems for two of them.  These are Windchill 11.1 systems.  One I have set up and users can login.  The other one, I have set up and I can find users, add them to Windchill, give them groups and licenses but then the users cannot login. I can still login as wcadmin, but wcadmin is still in WindchillDS.  Instead I get this error and a never ending login box.   AH01617: user <user name>: authentication failure for "/Windchill/app/": Password Mismatch   Both systems are pointing to the same server to access Microsoft AD.  Has anyone encountered this and have a fix or what to look for?   Thank you, Brian

Hello, I want to extend DefaultDownstreamLocationDelegate to define my own destination path for the downstream objects, upon overriding the method getSTAInitialLocationValueBean(), I see STAHelper cannot be resolved since the class is not public.

Hi All. I have a requirement to store parts while traversing through a multi level BOM structure. So far I have been able to recursively print all the child parts but having a problem add all parts to a list or map ( only adds values of 1st level BOM but not other levels).Here is the code I am using; public static List<WTPart> getChildParts(WTPart parentPart) throws WTException {ArrayList<WTPart> info = new ArrayList<WTPart>();Map<String, List<String>> map = new HashMap<String,List<String>>();QueryResult queryResult= WTPartHelper.service.getUsesWTParts(parentPart, new LatestConfigSpec());// int structure = 1;WTPart part=null;if (queryResult != null){while(queryResult.hasMoreElements()){Persistable[] persistable=(Persistable[])queryResult.nextElement();part=(WTPart)persistable[1];printMessageToConsole(part.getNumber());info.add(part);//WTPartUsageLink partLink=(WTPartUsageLink)persistable[0];getChildParts(part);}}return info;} I am als

I have a report that will list all workspaces with files in them. What I would also like is either a report or where to look in the Oracle tables, using an SQL command or SQLdeveloper, to find any empty workspaces. We are doing an upgrade from Windchill 11.0 to Windchill 12.0 this week and I need to be sure that all workspaces are deleted before I start. I will be doing an 11.1 to 12.0 upgrade on my other system in a few weeks, so something that works for that would be nice, too.

HiI like to avoid any discussions and issues with PTC and like to know if you have a named license to run Thingworx Navigate View can one run Creo View Lite ?I know one can purchase a separate license for View Lite, but we have some ThingWorx Navigate View's in spare.

Now that Windchill 12 has license reporting, we can get reports per user of which license they actually used, only the reports do not make sense to me, and I hope anyone here can explain it to me (will file a PTC call as well). In the (3 month) report I see a user being reported as using: PTC Contributor License 21 times, PTC View and Print Only License 7 times and PTC Windchill Advanced License 1 time. But this user is in the PTC Contributor license group (and has been for the past 3 months), so it should be impossible he used the advanced feature... can anybody explain this?I'm trying to use the license reporting to match if users actually use the feature they have the right to based on the license, but this way it makes no sense.Kind regards,\/\/outer...

I want to send a task to the manager of that department according to the selected department. Is there any way I can assign this user directly without getting it from the form?

Hello, I want to introduce an attribute to a WTDocument, when creating a new object, users must be able to use this attribute and upload attachments to the document upon clicking on this attribute. The reason why I do not want to use Set Attachments is, I want to control the type of document being attached and validate if there is an existing document of the same type in the attachments before attaching a new document. I am thinking of introducing a data utility where I can use GUIComponent to implement this requirement, I wanted to know if there is any other way to achieve this requirement, kindly share your options. Thanks.
