Hi team,In xconfmanager, you can undefine or remove:--reset Reset the site specific value of a property or set ofproperties to the declared default value.--undefine Reset the property such that its value will be null--remove Treat the named property as an ordered set and remove avalue from it in the site.xconf. I have been configuring Security Labels, and I set a property that should not have been set. Then I tried --undefine and --remove but the property key remains in xconf.site and the related properties file. I would like to get rid of it completely. Will --reset get rid of the property? Maybe I need to use the backups?thanks -- Rick

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS M030Hi,I am trying to get the functionality of Multiple Release Targets and I am trying to Migrate into Windchill 12.1 and would like to get this functionality working before I move to Windchill 12.1, I have added the a new life Cycle state and still does not work. All I want is for the pull down to happen when you want to select on e of the multiple Release Target states. Please help me get this running so I continue my migration.... TY Bill H. PS I realize we are at Windchill 11.0 but I see in Windchill 12.1 it has the same functionality but want to see this operate before I bring the database across. I don't want the new system to be un available.Please call.

Hello, I am currently using a Query Spec to look for all WTParts that match a specific query (query for name or number).I am also applying a SearchCondition with Iterated.LATEST_ITERATION = true to look for the latest iteration. spec.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WTPart.class, Iterated.LATEST_ITERATION, SearchCondition.IS_TRUE), new int[]{index}); I am now trying to expand the query by a latest revision filter since with the Iterated.LATEST_ITERATION = true it returns the latest iterations of all revisions but I only need the latest iteration of the latest revision of this part. Using the Windchill Search I was able to do exaclty this but I need this as a Java Query. You can see the required functionality in this picture. Best regards   

Hello,Is there a way or possibility to update the check in comments after the part or item is checked in?May be by the admin, manager or supervisor roll?Thanks for your comments and advice.Bert

Hey All,  We are always looking to automate what we can. One of our daily checks is to do a "Round Robin" and verify we can connect to each of the user nodes in our cluster. To do this we modify the host file on our machine to make it point at each specific node. As you can imagine, it takes some time to modify the file, login, verify its connected to that node, closed out the browser, change host file to the next node and repeat. Question is, has anyone found an automated way to do this? Is there a faster way? We have also moved on from PSM to Dynatrace cloud tool , but have not yet put in place the new profiles that are available.  Thanks in advance. 

Hi all,   At the moment the full path of the classification is displayed on the details page. We would need to display only the last class. So instead of having for example: Technical\Screw\Nr1 screw to see only Nr1 Screw.   Has anyone changed this on their systems or has any ideas?   Alex

We have no program reaction if WVS monitor job failed or if the visualization of some objects was not done at all. We just have no visualization and no one knows about it. Can we made some program reaction? For example email notification if something goes wrong with it...

I m trying to launch PSI on Windows 10 resulted opening in notpad( I know windows 10 is not supported but for POC purpose or dev we can install it on Windows 10) Any one have some input on this ?  Referred below article but issue persistent. http://support.ptc.com/help//wnc/r11.2.0.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCUpdInstall_LaunchPSI.html 

I have a situation where due to human error, an older revision drawing was printed and built to causing customer complaints and internal corrective action measures.  Now we do show the current lifecycle state on our drawings, and in theory, the old rev drawing is/was Prod Released.  We have had one suggestion to mark old rev drawings as obsolete, but then I feel you will lose track of what version was released and what is truly obsolete.  Not a good suggestion in my opinion. So my question to the community, how do you folks treat/manage your old rev drawings?  Do you do anything particular to the drawing to mark it as out of date or superseded by a newer rev?  Do you restrict access?  I am looking for a poka-yoke solution here to prevent future recurrences.  Is watermarking smart enough to know how to update an earlier rev drawing when the latest version is released? Appreciate your time and comments.

We have a large number of Geometry Reviewers in our organizaion that use MacBook Pro's.CREO View will not run natively on the Mac OS and we find that the visualizations availible in the Windchill client browser under the Structure tab don't have enough feaures for our needs.   We've explored options for running CREO View in a Windows emulator on trhe Mac's or on a remote server,  but all are troublesome and not really usable in our environment.  Does anyone have a third-party solution for an alternative to CREO View that can open geometry for review directly from Windchill?  The only options we have found requiring mirroring of the geometry data on another server outside of Windchill which doesn't make sense for the quantity of files we are working with.  PTC- how about a Mac OS native version of CREO View - is this on your roadmap?  If so how far in the future?    

Hi all Has anyone already installed Windchill 12.0.1.0 with MS ActiveDirectory only, i.e. without WindchillDS, and then upgraded from 11.1?Is there any experience you can share? Thanks Best Regards Daniel

Hello,is it possible to have the button to open the published PDF displayed in a column of search result tab and in change task tab to avoid to have to go on detail page of each object?In my case it is more especially for creo drawings. 

Hi all,we have three CAD-Worker running. With one feeding queue and then one "working queue" for each worker. Sometimes, all three CAD-Worker are "blocked" with big assemblies/drawings (>1000 parts) for partially more than one hour (especially due to long transfer, download and thumbnail generation times).  These long times alone are not nice and need to be optimized. But we also see a huge delay in the feeding queue resulting in hundreds of items waiting for the big assemblies to be finished.Is there any way to organize the queues a bit smarter? E.g. handling small assys and mono parts with a higher prio than big assemblies so they aren't stuck in the queue?Does this need customization or can this be configured directly within Windchill?

Hi all,   I'm trying to get "Associated Process Objects" of Change Request using REST API but I'm not able to find any related REST methods in WRS documentation.   Could anyone help on this ?   Thanks in advance    /VR

Any ideas why Winchill is acting glitchy? It's completely useless at this point. Normal login using Creo or Solidworks, Winchill loads up, Ping ID recognizes server, my organization page loads up as normal.....THEN Clicking almost any button causes the program to freeze and shut down. This is happening on a fresh installation on my desktop. My labtop is operating from the same network and has no issues.

What is the use of Primary attributes Phone info page layout & Primary attributes tablet info page layout?

I am working with a University IT department to host the Windchill database. In the installation guides for Windchill 11.0, it seems that it's rather rigid in the naming of tablespaces expected for the application. Can these be changed to meet the department's standards? 

Hi,I've a design table in CreO that needs to be executed/driven/controlled from the parameters on the WTPart.Any suggestions on how it could be achieved?

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1Is it possible to reserve the next Item ID in WNC?The REST API documentation does not offer a method to get the next Number (at least I did not find any method). Thingworkx also does not provide an API that does support this.This Stack Overflow article gives some hints on the implementation in WNC using InfoEngine: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35412452/how-to-get-sequence-number-in-windchill-through-api. It also suggests a work around: create a new part; take its number and then delete it. However, I think we should look for a better solution.

Based on the WRS 1.7 user guide, I'm aware it's possible to retrieve all WorkItems assigned to the user you're authenticating with when calling the endpoint /Workflow/WorkItems:   PTC Workflow Domain Capabilities v1.7   But say I wanted to get all WorkItems, including those where the assignee is not the user account I'm authenticating with when calling the API endpoint.   Is this currently possible? Or, no?   Thanks in advance.

Team,I have a very secure Windchill product.  The general population can only Read and Download one revision of any object.  We accomplish this by setting up a "Public" folder where the general population has read and download.  We also set up a "Private" folder with a custom domain and only the Product Managers have access. When a new revision gets "Released", the Product Manager moves the old revision out of the Public folder and puts it back in Private, The Product Manager also moves the new revision from Private to Public.  While this is labor intensive, it works exactly as desired.  We do this because we have problems with users building to the wrong revision. In the case of a CN Task, nobody except Product Manager can see the new revision.  The new revision is still "In Work" or "Under Review" and it's hidden in the private folder. I'm looking for a way to have the Change Activity workflow extend Read and Download permissions
